Obtaining Personal Data
We might ask visitors to our website for personal data. Directly obtained information from a user may contain contact details like name, email address, and postal address.

Information Gathering Automatically
This website automatically gathers certain data about your usage of the website from your web browser. The Internet Protocol (“IP”) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, details about your computer and connection, such as the type and version of your browser, the operating system, and the platform, and complete Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) click stream data, including date and time, as well as the content you viewed or searched for on the Site, are a few examples of the information that is automatically collected from all users.

Additionally, this website gathers data using “cookies” and related technologies. Cookies are discrete, one-of-a-kind alphanumeric identifiers that are saved on your computer’s hard drive and are transmitted to your browser by websites. Your computer will determine what kind of information is gathered when a cookie is stored there. “Session” cookies gather data about how you use the site (such as if you are logged in), allowing for a more tailored browsing experience and easier page-to-page navigation. When you exit your browser, these temporary cookies are removed. “Persistent” cookies use your computer or workstation to collect statistical data regarding frequent usage. Generally speaking, cookies don’t hold personally identifying information. However, if you provide personal information on the Site, it might be connected to the non-personally identifiable information that is saved in cookies that your browser receives from the Site.
For usage analysis (including reporting and paying royalties and license fees to third-party providers, such as authors, societies, and other copyright holders and content distributors as well as tracking and analyzing user preferences and trends), delivery and management of our advertising, promotions, and surveys, quality control, and administering, customizing, and improving the Site, we, along with our affiliated group companies and service providers, may use cookies, “web beacons,” clear.gifs, or similar technologies to collect and use this information.

By going to your browser’s privacy options menu, you can make your browser refuse specific cookies, ask for your permission before accepting new ones, or completely reject cookies. You might not be able to register, log in, or utilize all of the site’s features and functions if you completely block cookies.

The Use of Personal Information

We use the personal data you give us to do the following: Complete and support the activity for which the data was submitted, like granting access to or delivery of our goods or services, handling order processing or fulfillment, or answering your questions or requests; Website and system management, including processing computer account information, securing and maintaining the site, and having the site or its agents verify activities on the site; technical assistance for the site and its computer system; individualizing the site’s customization on subsequent visits and modifying the content or style of the site within a single visit; investigation and development to strengthen, assess, and advance the website as well as our goods and services; the creation of a profile through pseudonymous analysis in order to ascertain a user’s habits, hobbies, or other traits for the purposes of study, analysis, and anonymous reporting; and keeping you informed about updates and modifications to the website, our goods and services, and any special deals, sales, occasions, or research surveys. For these objectives, we may occasionally match or combine the personal information you give us with data we already have in our databases, data we get from other sources, or data we gathered offline or online by connected group companies or our predecessors.

Giving Personal Data to Unaffiliated Parties

Only our employees, agents, representatives, service providers, and organizations for which we serve as an agent, licensee, or publisher—such as societies—have access to your personal information for the uses mentioned above. All of our trading names and connected group companies may use your personal information, and it may also be processed in other countries. Even though the data privacy regulations in these nations might not be the same, we will take precautions to guarantee that your information is kept safe if we send it in this manner.
Additionally, we could disclose your personal information to non-affiliated third parties who would want to send you information about their goods and services that you might find interesting, as well as to our group companies that are associated with all over the world. We will not pass your personal information to such third parties if you indicate that you do not wish us to do so.

If the Site offers an online content database or learning service (“Service”) and you access the Service through an institution-sponsored subscription, your personal information and certain usage data gathered through the Service, such as the number of items you downloaded, any non-subscribed items you accessed, and test scores, may be shared with your institution for the purposes of usage analysis, subscription management, course management, and testing and remediation. If your institution is a corporation or other business entity, additional usage data, such as the types of records you viewed and the number of searches you ran, also may be shared for the purposes of cost attribution and departmental budgeting.

We will not otherwise disclose any personal information without your consent except under the following circumstances:

in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, violation of our policies, or as otherwise required by law; and if ACGCRJ, this Site, or a related asset or line of business is acquired by, transferred to or merged with another company.

Freelance Advertisers
Contracts between us and third-party advertisers, their representatives, or service providers that place banner ads on the Site and may contain links to external websites outside of our control, may be made. Companies those gather and utilize user data to assess the success of their adverts or provide pertinent marketing messages and advertisements through the use of cookies, “web beacons,” clear gifs, or other such technologies. These third parties’ use of these technologies is governed by their own privacy rules, which may not align with ours. Any goods, advertisements, information, or other things provided by such third parties are not our responsibility or liability.

Preservation of Personal Data
Until you request that the data be deleted, we keep the personal information we get from you for as long as it is pertinent to our business needs.
Our Promise Regarding Data Security
