As used in this policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our company or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally.
Information Collection and Use
We collect the following information:
Personally Identifiable Information. When using the website, we will need to ask you for certain personally identifiable information about you. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you, and information on your use or potential use of the website. Personal information that we might collect would include things like, your name, email address, home addresses, credit card or other billing information. We use personal information internally for the following purposes: (i) to administer the website, (ii) to enable users to easily use and navigate the website, (iii) to provide, improve and optimize the website, (iv) to better understand users’ needs and interests and to conduct surveys, (iv) to personalize your experience, (v) to provide you with software updates and/or product announcements, and (vi) to provide you with further information and offers from us that we believe you may find useful or interesting including information on subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcements, or information on seminars. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or select the appropriate option via your Account.
Non-Identifying Information. We may collect non-personally identifiable information, that is information that cannot identify a particular person, such as a zip code or city or state of residence, without an association to a name or address, as well as information transmitted during routine internet communications, a user’s Internet Service Provider, and a computer’s operating system.
When you use the website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit the website. This information may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our website, pages of our website that you use, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our website, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the website and for the technical administration, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors’ needs. For example, some of this information is collected so that when you visit the website again, it will recognize you and serve information appropriate to your interests. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the website meet the criteria required to process their requests.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are small files that the website places on your hard drive for identification purposes. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID to track the pages visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. These files are used for website registration and customization the next time you visit us. Cookies are required to use the website’s services. We use cookies to record current session information, but do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you have submitted while on our website. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the instructions provided by your internet browser in its help file.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We will not share your personal information with other people or non-affiliated companies, unless we have your permission, except under the following circumstances:
Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information. We may share aggregated information that does not include personal information and we may otherwise disclose non-identifying information with third parties for industry analysis, demographic and analytical profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your personal information.
Third-Party Service Providers. We may share any of the information we gather about you with third party agents and service providers to facilitate the website, to provide the website or functions on our behalf and to perform related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and improvement of the website’s features, or to process credit card payments), or to assist us in analyzing how our Service are used. These third parties may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement. We will cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law and will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect our property and rights or those of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop any activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable.
Business Transfers. We may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, which could include your personal information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.
With Your Consent. Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Changing or Deleting Your Information
You may review, update, correct or delete your personal information through your Account or by contacting us. If you completely delete all such information, then your Account will become deactivated and you will not be able to access the website through your Account. If you would like us to delete your record in our system, please contact us with a request that we delete your personal information from our database. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your request, however, we may retain an archived copy of your records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
Security
NWCEAI strives to protect your personal information by using generally accepted industry standards to protect the information collected, both during transmission and once received by us, including encrypting your transmissions by utilizing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. While highly effective, no security system can be 100% effective against accidental loss or unauthorized access and disclosure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the information collected. We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the website in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data.
International Transfer
Your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, we may transfer your personal information to the United States and processes it there. Your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Links to Third Party Websites
This website may contain links to other websites. www.seattlearttherapy.org or www.nwcreativeexpressivearts.org does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. The fact that we may link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.
