Privacy Policy

Following is the Privacy Policy, for the website of Pure Insight. This policy was updated on March 9th 2006. Questions about this policy can be e-mailed to privacy@pure-insight.com. All information collected is owned solely by Pure Insight and is handled pursuant to this policy.

Networking
To facilitate networking and benchmarking among members a subscriber is asked to complete a profile indicating contact information, areas of expertise, interest and background as well as demographic data. This information is only shared with other subscribers and only by permission. At no time will email addresses, telephone number and/or postal addresses of subscribers be displayed, nor will contact information be shared or released to third parties unless at a subscriber’s specific request.

Demographic and survey data is only used in aggregate reporting to better understand our audience and improve user experience on the site and never on an individual basis.

Free Site Registration, Online Subscription Registration, Subscription Registration, and Newsletter
To access certain areas of this web site, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give contact information (such as name, e-mail address, postal code, Country). E-mail addresses are used during the initial setup of your account, in the delivery of service messages, requested information, and some products. Additionally, if a user requests their password, it is delivered in plain text to the address on file. Demographic data is only used in aggregate reporting to better understand our audience and improve user experience on the site and never on an individual basis. Online Subscriptions require additional information such as credit card number and billing address. This information is used for billing purposes and to process orders. In the event we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to make contact and resolve the issue. We send all new members a welcoming e-mail to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on related products and services.

Event Registration
If a user wishes to register for an event, we request contact information (such as name and address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to process registrations. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user. Event registants will occasionally receive information on related products and services.

Surveys, Questionnaires and Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or questionnaires (or contests). Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), personal opinion and demographic information (such as zip code, age group, purchasing influence, etc.). Contact information will be used to send results and/or prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site, and may be shared in aggregate with our partners. In the event that the handling of information for a specific survey differs from what is outlined in the Privacy Policy then those differences will be clearly highlighted in the survey introduction.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user, such as an ID for site access. If a user rejects the cookie, they will be unable to login to our site to access premium content. We do not use cookies to store sensitive information.

Log Files
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movement on our site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing
Periodically we share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers, however we never share individual information. We use outside companies to invoice users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Pure Insight is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each web site that collects personally identifiable information.

Security
We take every precaution to protect our users’ information. When a user submits sensitive information via the website, that information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), it is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
