ISACA Philadelphia Privacy Policy

The ISACA Philadelphia Chapter believes the privacy and confidentiality of an individual’s personal information is important. We provide the following privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. We may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to address new issues and to reflect changes on our site. Please refer back to this Privacy Policy regularly because your use of the site signifies that you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time.

a. Collection of Personally Identifiable Information. We collect personally identifiable information about you only when you voluntarily provide such information. (Personally identifiable information is any information that can be used to identify or contact a specific individual and any other information about that individual.)

b. Use of Personally Identifiable Information. We will not sell or otherwise transfer or disclose personally identifiable information to third parties not affiliated with us without your prior consent (except as may be required by law, such as a court-ordered subpoena, search warrant, or other court order; or required by exigent circumstances). That means that we will never disclose your name, e-mail address, street address or phone number to third parties not Affiliated with us without your consent.

We reserve the right to share your information with organizations affiliated with Site Owner (i.e., chapters, the IT Governance Institute®) without your permission.

We reserve the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior (on an aggregate basis) in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform sponsors of such information.

We may permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration based services through the site. In this event, we are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable privacy policy of such party before providing personally identifiable information.

c. Encryption Technology. We use Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) encryption technology to enhance data privacy and help prevent loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control whenever personal information is collected.

d. Cookie Technology. We collect non-personal identification information through the use of “cookie” technology and/or Internet Protocol (“IP”) address tracking. Cookies are small text files a web site can use to recognize repeat users and facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of the site. Non-personal identification information might include the browser used by you, the type of computer, the operating systems, the Internet service providers and other similar information. The system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on the site and about the links you may select from within the site to other sites.

We cannot control the use of cookies by advertisers or third parties displaying data on the site or on the sites you visit using links from the site. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set yours to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

e. Links to other sites. Users will find advertising or other content on the site that enable linking to the sites of our advertisers, Sponsors and other third parties. These third party sites may have their own privacy policies or no policy at all. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to such other sites. We have no control over the content displayed on such sites, nor over the measures, if any, that are taken by such sites to protect the privacy of your information.
