Rev. 2/7/2020

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Office Practicum collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”). This privacy policy applies to the Office Practicum website (“Site”), and all products and services available through Office Practicum portals, website, forums, or other web- or cloud-based sites or services offered by Office Practicum (collectively, “OP Service(s)”).

We may collect information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit, access, register, fill out a form, or otherwise use OP Services. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, etc. (“personally identifiable information”). We will collect personally identifiable information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from accessing, using, or otherwise engaging in related activities with the OP Service.

We may also collect non-personally identifiable information about Users whenever they interact with OP Services. Non-personally identifiable information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users’ means of connection to OP Services, such as the operating system and the Internet provider(s) utilized and other similar information.

OP Services may use “cookies” to enhance User experience. User’s web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Users may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the OP Service may not function properly.

Office Practicum may collect and use Users’ personal information for the following purpose:

• • To Provide OP Services: As needed to provide access to, and proper use of, the OP Services.
  • To improve customer OP Service: Information you provide helps us respond to your customer service requests and support needs more efficiently.
  • To personalize user experience: We may use information in the aggregate to understand how our Users as a group use the OP Services and resources provided on or through OP Service.
  • To improve our site: We may use feedback you provide to improve our products and OP Services.
  • To send periodic emails: We may use the email address to send User information and updates pertaining to their order. It may also be used to respond to their inquiries, questions, and/or other requests. By providing an email address or other contact information, a User opts into our mailing list, and they will receive emails that may include company news, updates, related product or OP Service information, etc. If at any time the User would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
• Third Party Service Providers: Office Practicum may also share your personal information with its third-party OP Service providers (such as its hosting partners) to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and other OP Services we use to operate the OP Service and maintain a high-quality user experience.
• Legal Requirements: In addition to the purposes described above, we disclose personal information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We may also share such information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information and data stored on OP Services.

We do not sell, trade, or rent Users personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above, and as may be permitted by any written agreement between us.

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at OP Services from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

Public forums: You should be aware that any information you provide on or through certain OP Services (e.g., the Ideas Portal and listserv forums) may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. 

Correcting and updating your information: Customers may update or change the personal information they have provided Office Practicum by logging into the OP Service and providing such additional information where applicable. If you are our customer and would like to gain access to, or request deletion of information we have collected, please contact us at (800) 218-9916 or emailing support@officepracticum.com.

Links to other websites: An OP Service may contain links to other websites and web applications,sites or information that are not owned or controlled by Office Practicum. Please be aware that we do not determine and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave an OP Service and read the terms of use and privacy statements of other websites and web applications . 

Updates to Privacy Policy: Office Practicum has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the top of this page. We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.

Your Acceptance: By using this OP Service, you signify your acceptance of this policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use this OP Service. Your continued use of the OP Service following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
