Privacy Rights and Personal Information

At DataManagementUniversity and DataManagementEducation.com, we take our obligations for privacy very seriously.  This includes the responsibility to receive, hold, store, use, and (upon request) return, transfer and/or delete your personal information securely and reasonably.

We believe that you are entitled to rely upon us to handle your personal information in a responsible and ethical manner, consistent at all times with the requirements of applicable law.  We are also committed to providing you with a personal response to any questions, comments or concerns about how we do so.

What Information Do We Collect?

We collect information from you when you register on our site, place an order for a course, subscribe to our newsletter and content, respond to a survey or fill out a form.  In addition, if your employer is purchasing a course for you to utilize, your employer may provide us with your name and e-mail address without notifying you.

If you access a course, we retain information about your course usage.  If you take a final exam, we retain information regarding your score.

When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and/or phone number.  If you make a purchase from us on our site, we will receive, use and protect your credit or debit card information.  Some of this information will be transferred to the Learning Management System (LMS) that we use to present and administer the courses and examinations.

How Do We Use Your Information?

Any information we collect from you is used primarily to process transactions and fulfill orders related to your purchases, to communicate with you concerning your progress in courses and exams, and to send you periodic emails and other content.

Your personal information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested.  Your personal information may be utilized by us in certain situations, aggregated with such information from other users, in ways which would not identify you in any way publicly or to third parties.

Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future content, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each message.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We utilize a secure server to store and protect all your personal information.  All supplied personal information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our database to be only accessed by those authorized with special access rights to our systems.  These individuals are required to keep the information confidential.

After a transaction involving payment to us by you, your private financial information (credit and debit card numbers, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.  In general, we retain other personal information, like your name and email address, in connection with your use and completion of courses and exams.

Do We Use Cookies?

Yes; Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers’ systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.  We use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies via your browser settings.  Like most websites, if you turn your cookies off, some of our services may not function properly.

Do We Disclose Any Information to Outside Parties?

We do not sell, trade, lend, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information.  This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.  We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with applicable law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.  However, non-personally identifiable visitor information (generally in aggregated form) may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Third Party Links

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website.  These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies.  Therefore, we have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.  Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
