Your Privacy
ProQuest Information and Learning Company ("ProQuest") and its
business units value your privacy and take precautions to protect the
personal information you provide us from loss, misuse and unauthorized
access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. In the registration,
trial request and product bulletin subscription systems, we ask you to
provide contact information including your name, address, email
address and phone number. We store this personal information in
databases that we use to deliver the requested products to you.
Use of Your Personal Information
When you register, we ask whether you want to receive periodic updates
about our new products. We put your name on a mailing list for future
product announcements only if you indicate that you want us to do so.
If you contact us through our web site and request information, we use
the contact information you provide only for the stated purpose. Only
a limited number of authorized employees have access to the
information you provide. We will disclose your personal information if
we are required to do so by law or legal process. Your personal
information will be used only for the purposes stated above, will not
be shared with third parties other than those described above and will
not be sold to third parties.
Upon registration, we request your birth date for the purpose of
determining age, so that we may distinguish users under the age of 13
("Pre-Teen Users") from users age 13 or older. However, as part of our
compliance with COPPA, we do not collect other information that would
allow us to associate the birth date with any particular child.
Instead, we register Pre-Teen Users with only a User-selected, unique
user name and password. We do not knowingly grant Pre-Teen Users
access to any services that gather their personal information.
Viewing and Correcting Your Personal Information
You can update your personal information at any time by clicking the
user profile link on your My Products page. Your My Products page is
displayed when you log in.
How We Use Cookie Technology
The ProQuest information products use cookie technology to initiate
and maintain your session connections and to compile aggregated
statistics about web site usage. The cookie stores encrypted
information verifying your access to the system. In no case is it used
to access personal information, nor is the session information
maintained in the cookie made available to other organizations.
What Happens if the Company is Sold
If ProQuest, or its business units, were to merge with or be acquired
by another organization, the database of customer information would be
one of the assets acquired.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
ProQuest and its bigchalk business unit may occasionally revise this
Privacy Policy. Changes to the Privacy Policy will appear on this
page.
