your privacy online. Please read the following policy to
understand how your personal information will be treated
as you make full use of our many offerings.
What personally identifiable information does Bryman College collect from
me?
Bryman College collects information in several ways from different parts
of our Web sites. Some personal information is gathered if
you register with us. During registration, Bryman College may ask for
personal information such as your name, email address, gender,
zip/postal code, occupation, industry and personal interests.
In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information
at other times, including (but not limited to) when you download
a file (such as a .PDF file) from us; when you ask us to contact
you; when you join our mailing list; and when you report a
problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact Bryman College
we may keep a record of that correspondence. Bryman College may also occasionally
asks users to complete surveys that we use for research. Wherever
Bryman College collects personal information we make an effort to include
a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

How does Bryman College use my information?
Bryman College's primary goal in collecting personal information is to
provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our
Web sites. This includes personalization services, interactive
communications, which are completely free to you.
Bryman College does research on our users' demographics, interests, and
behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration,
or from our server log files. We do this to better understand
and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed
on an aggregated basis.
With whom does Bryman College share my information?
Bryman College will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information
except when we have your permission. Bryman College may disclose account
information in special cases when we have reason to believe
that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against
someone who may be violating Bryman College Terms of Service or may be
causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally
or unintentionally) Bryman College rights or property, other Bryman College users,
or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Bryman College
may disclose or access account information when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative
and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service,
and improve our products and services.
Bryman College does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will
notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your
data will be shared with a third party and you will always
have the option of not permitting the transfer. If you do not
wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to
use a particular service or not to participate in certain promotions
or contests.
What else should I know about my privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose
personal information online - for example on message boards,
through email, or in instant message or chat areas - that this
information can be collected and used by others. In short,
if you post personal information online that is accessible
to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other
parties in return.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive
to protect your personal information, Bryman College cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us
or from our online products or services, and you do so at your
own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please
be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
