The PR committee drafted a Privacy Policy which was approved
by the General Council. The policy's intent is to protect
private information collected from the general public on the
web site.
Following is the full text of the Privacy Policy:
Your privacy is important to the TPC. We follow the industry
practices to let you know how our privacy policy answers the
following questions:
1. What information does the TPC gather/track and how is it
used?
2. With whom does the TPC share the information it gathers/tracks?
3. What is the TPC's unsubscribe and data-removal policy?
4. How can I correct and update my personal information?
5. What is the TPC's policy on deleting or deactivating my
name from its database?
6. Whom can I ask if I have any additional questions?
In general, you can visit the TPC on the Web without telling
us who you are and without revealing any information about
yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information
from you. We do not collect personal information about you
unless you voluntarily provide it to us. We collect, process
and use personal information only for providing relevant services
to you. That information will be gathered when you come onto
our site to: provide feedback in an online survey; and/or
request certain reports.
The personal information that may be gathered includes your
name, fax, telephone number, street address and e-mail address.
You may also be asked for further information about yourself
such as your job category, your industry type, your company
name and job title, and the number of people in your company.
We will use our best efforts not to transfer information that
personally identifies you to anyone else without your knowledge
and approval at the time it is collected from you. Please
note, however, that in addition to sending you periodic status
reports we may contact you about matters that affect your
use of our site such as the status of your subscription to
our reports.
Upon your request, we will assist you to review, delete, correct,
or update your personal information that you have previously
provided. If at any time you believe that we have not adhered
to our policy with respect to protecting your privacy, or
if you have questions regarding the collecting and/or use
of your personal information or regarding our privacy policy,
please contact us. We will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly address your concern. You may contact
us by e-mail at privacy@tpc.org.
