The Center for Professional Advancement (CfPA) is committed to protecting your privacy. To protect your privacy while you use our website and let you know what types of information we are collecting and how we are using it, we have developed this Privacy Policy. As we update our services and technologies and as we expand or change our offerings, this Privacy Policy may change from time to time, so please check it periodically.

The information you provide is being collected by CfPA for the purpose of processing your registration or inquiry. The provision of this information is voluntary. However, if you do not provide the information requested, we may be unable to process your request. All information provided by you will be held in the strictest confidence.

The information we collect on our sites includes (however is not limited to): Full Name, Job Title, Company Name & Address, Phone & Fax Number, Email Address and Interest Areas.

The information collected will be shared with employees of CfPA to the extent necessary to accommodate your requests. CfPA may also share such information with its agents, contractors or partners in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for, or with, CfPA. Such third parties are restricted from using this data in any way other than providing services for or on behalf of CfPA. We may, for example, provide your information to third parties contracted by CfPA to handle group mailings.

When you visit our site a "cookie" (small file) is stored by your web browser on your computer's hard drive for future reference. CfPA uses "cookies"   to read and display non-personal data. We cannot and will not use cookies to retrieve any personal information about you. We do not and cannot use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer unless you knowingly and willingly provided such information.

You may be able to modify your browser preferences to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to use those functions of the websites that require registration.

CfPA does not share, rent or sell customer email addresses. We may share other contact information with other professional organizations to promote similar products and services. No list supplied by CfPA may be used by anyone other than for the confidential use of the original mailer. All lists are seeded with decoy names to protect against abuse; violators will be prosecuted.

CfPA takes precautions to protect your information. When users submit sensitive information (such as a credit card number) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Access to information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment. You should also recognize that your use of the Internet and this site is solely at your own risk.

CfPA's web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that CfPA is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. This privacy statement applies solely to CfPA.

If your personal information is incorrect or you no longer wish to receive promotional material from CfPA, we will strive to correct, update or remove your information in a timely manner. Please send correspondence via email to customer service.

As we provide more services on our website and as privacy laws and regulations evolve, it may be necessary to revise or update our Privacy Policy without notice, but we will post those changes on our website home page so our users are aware of what information we collect, use and disclose.
