SELinux Symposium Privacy Statement



SELinux Symposium, LLC (the Symposium or "we") knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so in a sensible manner. This Privacy Statement describes the information we will collect about you and how we will use that information. By accessing this site, you are consenting to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Statement.

This Privacy Statement was last updated on December 1, 2005.

Information Collection


When you register with the Symposium, the personal information we collect may include your name, title, employer or organization name, work e-mail, work phone, work or home address, information about your job function, information about your company/employer, and credit card information. We also may ask other questions for statistical purposes. All of the foregoing is referred to in this Privacy Statement as your Personal Information. The Symposium retains the Personal Information collected in the course of registration and will share it only as described below.

Information Use



Personal Information

We use your Personal Information primarily to register you for the SELinux Symposium and associated tutorials. The Symposium may from time to time use other companies to provide limited services related to your registration, such as credit card processing, answering customer questions, and conducting follow-up surveys, and other similar services. We will only provide those companies the Personal Information they need to deliver the service they have been contracted to provide. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

We also use your Personal Information to improve site content; to respond to visitors' interests, needs and preferences; to track participation demographics, and, potentially, to develop new programs and services. To accomplish these goals, the information collected by the Symposium may be used to produce written assessment reports, intended only for internal use by the Symposium (including use by Symposium affiliates, such as the parent and subsidiaries of the Symposium). In addition, from time to time the Symposium may aggregate the statistical information collected to create reports to be shared with unaffiliated third parties involved with the Symposium (such as sponsors) but such reports will not include any individual Personal Information.

Except as required by law or as described in the Disclaimer below, we will not otherwise share your Personal Information without your prior consent.

Cookies

Cookies are files that contain information created by a web server that can be stored on your machine for use either during a particular session ("session" cookie) or for future use ("persistent" cookie). The Symposium may use both session and persistent cookies to facilitate, track and limit automated activity, and to assist in the collection of site visitation statistics. Cookies are not used to disseminate significant information about users over the Internet. If you decline the attachment of any cookie, you may not have access to the full benefits of the site.

Log Files

Like most standard web site servers, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, domain name, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Communications from the Site

Relating to Current and Future Symposia: We communicate with all symposium registrants via email, postal mail, and by other means in connection present and future symposia, and you agree to such communication when you submit your registration. You may also receive information on future symposia and programs offered by the Symposium and its affiliates, but you will not receive product and service solicitations from unaffiliated third parties without your consent.

Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we offer you the option to not receive commercial solicitations from us. In the case of commercial emails, you should follow the opt-out mechanism set forth in the email communication. For other commercial communications, you should notify us as stated in the Contact Information section below. Please note, however, that you will not be able to opt-out of email communication relating to a symposium in which you are registered, as such communication is considered an essential part of your registration.

Providing Customer Service: Visitors requiring assistance in the use of this site should contact the Symposium by clicking on the "Contact Us" link on the side of the home page. Personal Information collected from you in connection with service requests will only be used to respond to the request. In regards to service requests, we reply via email or phone, in accordance with your indicated preference, if any.

Links

This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that the Symposium is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites that we do not maintain. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Disclaimer

ALTHOUGH WE USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PRESERVE USER PRIVACY, WE MAY NEED TO DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN (I) REQUIRED BY LAW, SUCH AS WHERE WE HAVE A GOOD-FAITH BELIEF THAT SUCH ACTION IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH A CURRENT JUDICIAL PROCEEDING, A COURT ORDER OR LEGAL PROCESS SERVED ON THE SYMPOSIUM; OR (II) NECESSARY TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS OR PROPERTY (INCLUDING WEB SITES) OF THE SYMPOSIUM OR ITS AFFILIATES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT, IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE SHARE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH ANY PARTNERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES. AS NOTED ABOVE, WE MAY SHARE AGGREGATE DATA WITH UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES WHEN WE CAN DO SO WITHOUT SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT IS IDENTIFIABLE TO YOU.

Security

This web site takes commercially reasonable precautions to protect our users' Personal Information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect Personal Information from unauthorized access or disclosure. For example, we store Personal Information on computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. Additionally, when we transmit sensitive personal 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.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information

If your Personal Information changes (such as phone, email or postal address), or if you no longer desire to receive communications from us, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate your Personal Information. Please email our Customer Support at info@selinux-symposium.org to do this.
Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Statement and other places on our web site that we deem appropriate so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the Personal Information we collect. Your continued use of this site constitutes your agreement to any updates to this Privacy Statement.
