Privacy Policy

At CSBSC we respect your right to privacy and we understand that, as a visitor to our website, you prefer to control your own personal information and preferences. For this reason, we may ask you to register or to provide personal information and preferences when you visit certain areas of our website, download free software, request information, or subscribe to our newsletters.

We will guard the personal information you share with us to ensure the content, services, and advertising that we provide on our website are always tailored to your current, designated preferences.

When you provide us with your name, e-mail address, mailing address, or telephone number, and you "opt in," we may use this information to alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information, classes, new services, and other CSBSC related information. We do not offer, or allow the selling of, any user-provided information to third parties.

We respect the rights users give us when opting to receive e-mail communications and enforce internal policies to preserve those rights. It is our objective to retain the long-term ability to continue to communicate with our users.

If you do not want us to contact you, you may "opt out" of this preference at any time, whether you are online or contacting us directly. As part of your preference flexibility you will always have the option to opt back in and have us contact you based on your previous or new preferences.

If you choose not to register or provide personal information you can still visit most of our website; however, you will not have access to areas that require personal identification.

CSBSC membership and the use of log files (cookies):

CSBSC offers free membership to all CSBSC visitors. In order to establish membership, visitors are sometimes requested to provide both personal information and preferences. This information is stored and protected by your user-established Member ID and Password.

We remember you by placing a log file (cookie) that contains only enough information to identify you upon return visits. A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored with your web browser for record-keeping purposes and helps us provide better service to you. Your browser has options to accept, reject, or provide you with notice when a cookie is sent.

No information, other than that found in the membership cookie, will be accessed by any CSBSC system. Access to your membership information always requires both your Member ID and Password.

We also utilize visitor log files (cookies) with our website. Once a user enters our site, a cookie follows them through their click stream path. Examples of information being collected by these cookies include the number of times a user came to our site(s), and the paths they took to get there. We use the data collected from website visitor cookies in aggregate form only and do not collect any personally identifiable information. Use of this information helps us better understand what users are seeking and learning at our website and helps us identify potential navigation issues.

Protecting your personal information:

CSBSC will always protect the personal information that you share with us. We store information internally in a controlled, secure environment. If, for example, you make a purchase online, we route all transactions through SSL (Secure Socket Layers) and will process your credit card number only to secure your current payment. The SSL transaction does not retain your credit card number subsequent to the transaction at hand and will not use the number for marketing purposes.

If we request general demographic information, this information is limited to reporting purposes only and our website members remain anonymous. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and postal addresses are never shared for demographic reports with outside entities.

We may occasionally present a special contest or promotion that is sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that information with the sponsor(s), we will provide an up-front statement to that effect and will request your consent to such sharing.

The Data Protection Act:

CSBSC aims to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 in relation to personal data which you give to us via our website to the extent that the Act requires it to do so.
