Surveys & Contests
From
time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
any information requested. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and delivery address), and demographic
information (such as postcode, age level). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the functionality of the
site.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users
are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide
to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of
an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.

course participants provides case studies, articles and presentations in
