PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy is offered by cwsi as an extension of our commitment to combine quality content, personal service, and additional services with integrity in dealing with our members. This Privacy Policy covers the cwsi forums and any associated content including RSS feeds, emails, newsletters, surveys, member comments, and other applications.
This Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using cwsi. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect information from you when you register on cwsi, respond to any surveys, fill out a form, submit information, or request information.
WHAT DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION FOR?
Broadly speaking, any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
- To personalize your experience: your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs.
- To improve our site: we continually strive to improve our site offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you.
- To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature.
- To send periodically send promotional emails.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We implement a variety of physical, electronic, and administrative security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.
HOW DO WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION?
We secure your personal information submitted by you by using reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, or accidental loss or destruction of the information. Your postings on cwsi and other communications you may have with us via email or regular mail may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures are in place prior to your sending information. So, if you choose to communicate with us through these means, you are assuming the risk of doing so and we request that you do not send or post sensitive information through these means. If you want to safeguard the information exchange, feel free to email us.
DO WE USE COOKIES?
Yes, cwsi utilizes standard technologies called “cookies” and "log files" to collect information about how cwsi is used. Cookies are very small text files saved to your computer used to track your navigation around cwsi. These cookies are used to track which forum posts remain unread, and whether you are a current member of cwsi and your membership level of service on cwsi. This cookie is not identifiable other than by the website server, and does not store any information which could disclose personal information about you. Log files are merely a record of this information. Other information gathered may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at cwsi, the websites visited just before and just after cwsi, what type of web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. Information is collected on an aggregate basis without any association to your personal information so that you remain anonymous. If you do not wish to transmit “cookie” information about yourself, you may turn off the cookie function in your web browser; please consult the “Help” section of your personal browser to correctly do so.
DO WE DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION TO ADVERTISERS OR OUTSIDE PARTIES?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to advertisers or outside parties your information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our site, so long as these outside parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce cwsi policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses — the key words here are ‘non-personally identifiable.’
THIRD PARTY LINKS
We may include or offer third party products or services on our site. These third party websites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of cwsi and welcome any feedback about these other websites.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page, post in our member communication newsletter and post in our Community forum, and/or update the Privacy Policy modification date below.
