EBSCO Research wants you to have a positive experience at this website. We
want you to know that we respect the privacy and security of our users. Our
goal is to provide you with an experience that delivers the information and
resources that are helpful to you. In order to achieve this goal, we collect
information from you. We discuss our information collection practices below.
This Privacy Policy sets forth the privacy practices in effect at the EBSCO
Research website. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access the
website.
What information is collected and how is it
used?
A. General Collection and Use of Personal Identifying Information
We will only collect and use personal identifying information (such as a first
and last name, physical address including a street name, telephone number,
e-mail address, etc.) when a user voluntarily provides it to us. In order to
use some portions of our websites, or in order to undertake certain actions
(such as setting up an account to make a purchase), a user must first complete
a registration form or provide an e-mail address that will require disclosure
of personal identifying information. Such disclosure is strictly voluntary. In
order to contact us by e-mail, however, you must provide an e-mail address.
We will use the personal identifying information we collect for limited
internal purposes that may include, but are not limited to, processing your
transactions, establishing the identity of account holders, utilization for
customer service, development, content processing, or content classification,
and providing you with information concerning our services. We will retain this
information. We also may use that personal identifying information to improve
and customize our content.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal identifying information, if
we are required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that disclosure of
the information is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, to
respond to claims, or to protect or advance the rights, property, safety, or
well-being of our company, our employees, customers, or the public.
B. Collection of Non-Personal Identifying Information
We collect and use non-personal identifying information, including IP
addresses and web server log files to track trends, administer the website,
track user movement, and gather demographic information. We use this
non-personal identifying information in the aggregate and to troubleshoot
technical errors. We do not combine these types of non-personal identifying
information with personal identifying information. We may also share aggregated
demographic information with our business partners, sponsors, advertisers, and
companies that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with
EBSCO Research.
C. Cookies and Web Service Log File Data
We may place a "cookie" or other tracking or information gathering
device used in the industry in the browser files of a user's computer. A cookie
is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about
the user. Cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to
enhance the experience on our website. We are able to access only the cookies
that our sites set on your computer, and we are only able to determine the type
of computer operating system and browser that you are using. We collect
information from cookies and other information gathering devices and log files
in the aggregate. We do not link the information collected through cookies or
other devices to personal information that users submit online while
participating in our activities. Users can set their browsers or third party
software to reject cookies. If a user rejects the cookie, the user may be
unable to use portions of our website. Some of the websites we provide links to
also may use cookies. We have no control over these linked websites or access
to or control over cookies or other technology used by linked websites.
D. Usage Information Monitoring
In order to provide better system stability, we monitor sessions on our
website. This is for the purpose of tracking and troubleshooting any technical
problems that may arise when someone accesses our website. By monitoring the
usage, we are better prepared to solve system problems faster. We do not
disclose this information to any outside vendor.
E. Security
EBSCO Research has taken steps to ensure that personal identifying information
collected in the future is secure, and we have limited the number of people who
have access to the information, by electronic security systems and password
protections that guard against unauthorized access. EBSCO Research may provide
links to websites outside of EBSCO Research. These websites may not have the
same privacy policies as EBSCO Research. EBSCO Research takes reasonable care
in recommending these websites but is not responsible for their content or
privacy policies. We urge users to read the privacy statement of an outside
website when leaving our site and linking to an outside website.
We use industry-standard technologies when transferring and receiving
consumer data exchanged with our site. We have appropriate security measures in
place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or
alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.
F. Other Use of Personal Information Collected
From time to time we may send users e-mail messages regarding information or
offers from our partners and companies that control, are controlled by, or are
under common control with EBSCO Research. If you do not want to receive e-mail
from us in the future, please let us know by sending us an e-mail at the above
address, calling us at the above telephone number, writing to us at the above
address, or sending us a facsimile at the above facsimile number. If you do not
want us to share your e-mail address with other companies or organizations,
please let us know by contacting us or by selecting any "opt-out"
option available.
From time to time, we make our customer e-mail list available to our partner
organizations and companies that control, are controlled by, or are under
common control with EBSCO Research, whose products or services we think you
might find interesting. If you do not want us to share your e-mail address with
other companies or organizations, please let us know by contacting us or by
selecting any "opt-out" option available. We will be sure your name
is removed from the list we share with our partners. We are not responsible for
any other list but our own.
If you supply us with your postal address on-line you will only receive the
information for which you requested when providing us with your address.
Persons who supply us with their telephone number on-line will only receive
telephone contact from us with information regarding orders they have placed
on-line.
Ad Servers: We do not partner with or have special relationships with
any ad server companies.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses
not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices
change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our
website to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt
out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used,
you should check back at our website periodically or contact us.
G. How to Correct Information
Customers may prevent their information from being used for purposes other than
those for which it was originally collected by selecting the
"opt-out" option or the "Please do not send me information"
option or by contacting us by written request, phone or e-mail at the contact
information above.
Upon request, we will provide you with access to all information that we
maintain about you, including unique identifier information (e.g., customer
number or password), contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number),
transaction information (e.g., dates on which you made purchases, amounts and
types of purchases), and any other information that we maintain about you.
Users can access this information, and can have their personal identifying
information corrected, by writing to us at the above address, sending us an
e-mail or by calling us.
