Privacy on Cierant.com
This website is administered by Cierant Corporation. The primary purpose
of this Website is to be a dynamic resource and business tool to help our agency
clients compete in the rapidly evolving world of marketing and brand development.
We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining
your privacy when doing so. The information on this page applies to Cierant.com
only and does not apply to any of our online applications which are subject
to their own privacy and data security policies.
Information Gathering and Privacy Practices
Information on Cierant.com is gathered in two ways: (1) involuntary
data collection techniques; and (2) voluntary data entry requests. We have
described some of the techniques used herein. Note that not all items may
be in use at all times.
Our involuntary data collection is primarily designed
to help us continuously assess the performance of our site and the content
therein. For example,
we collect, maintain and analyze our Internet access logs. When you
access Cierant.com, your Internet address is automatically collected and
is placed
in an Internet access log along with what pages you have visited during
your stay at our site
.
Our site may also employ cookies. Cookies are small files of information which
save and retrieve information about your visit to Cierant.com—for example,
how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information
was of interest to you. Typically, the cookies we use identify you as a number.
(If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can
disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or
options menu in your browser.) Note that sections of our site may periodically
request you to register with us. In these cases, we may store that data in
a cookie to provide more convenient use of our site in the future.
We also collect information which you voluntarily submit to us. Throughout
our site, we provide the opportunity to request information, register for an
event, order resource materials, or participate in an online survey. When we
collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking
for information and how this information will be used. If you do not wish to
provide this information, you are free to not do so.
Personal Information Usage
We analyze personal information usage data to determine what is most effective
about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to
determine how we can tailor Cierant.com to make it more effective. We may also
use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we
collect the information. For example, if you are requesting information from
us, we will use your personal data to fulfill that request.
Data Sharing Policies
Cierant does not sell individual information and will share it only with our
advisors or necessary subcontractors, such as a caterer for an event that we
may hold. As noted previously, before you submit any information, we will notify
you as to why we are asking for specific information and it is completely up
to you whether or not you want to provide it.
Sensitive Personal Data
We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal
data through this site. If at any time we do seek to collect such data, we
will ask
you to consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect
some sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited
sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data subject
to applicable
law as described in this Privacy Statement. The references to "sensitive
personal data" are to the various categories of personal data identified
by European and other data privacy laws as requiring special treatment,
including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent.
These categories currently include personal identity numbers, personal
data about
personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, nationality,
political opinions, membership of political parties or movements, religious,
philosophical
or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union or profession
or trade association, physical or mental health, genetic code, addictions,
sexual life, property matters or criminal record (including information
about suspected criminal activities).
Access to Personal Information
You are entitled to know whether we are storing information about you
and, if we do, to have access to that information and require it to be
corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by contacting us via our
webmaster at webmaster@cierant.com.
Data Security Policies
We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of your data on Cierant.com.
Please note that as a result of the open nature of the Internet, some data
may be transmitted across the network and accessed by individuals not authorized
to do so.
If you have any questions now or during your visit, please contact us via our
