Privacy Policy 1. Overview
Noble Systems is very sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important that you understand how we treat the information you may provide to us. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the information you provide is never shared with anyone other than Noble Systems employees, instructors or authorized contractors. This privacy statement applies to information collected by web addresses in the Noblesys.com, Noblesys.co.in, Noblesys.co.au, Noblesys.co.uk, and other domains owned and operated by Noble Systems.
2. How We Gather Information
To save you time and make our web services even easier to use, you may create a Noble Systems portal account using your personal information. The Noble Systems portal system saves your information and ties it to your email addresses and password. The next time you visit the Noble Systems website, you can simply enter your email address and password. If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you. We also use the mailing address to send you conference brochures and other items of interest. For more information, send an email to webmaster@noblesys.com. Some Noble Systems training events are co-sponsored by other organizations. Examples include Noble Systems OnSite events that are held in conjunction with private industry, government agencies, or education institutions. When you register for one of these events, the co-sponsoring organization may have access to your registration data. The co-sponsor may use this information for purposes related to the event but may not share it with others or use the data for marketing purposes. Noble Systems occasionally presents courses in conjunction with events sponsored by other organizations. In these cases, event registration may be handled by the event sponsor. When attempting to register via link from the Noble Systems web site, you will be presented with a web page informing you that the registration is not being handled by Noble Systems. In these cases, you should familiarize yourself with the privacy policy of the sponsor organization. When you register for a free vendor-sponsored webcast, you have the opportunity to opt out from a registrant list that will be sent to the sponsoring vendor. The information Noble Systems provides to the vendor is for their organization only and the sponsoring vendor agrees not to share or resell the provided information. The data given to the sponsoring vendor includes email address, first name, last name, title, work phone, company name, address, city, state, postal code and country. Noble Systems may occasionally provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact and demographic information such as name and address. We may share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users. 3. Log Files
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, to administer the site and to track how visitors interact with the web site. 4. Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We do use cookies on our site. Noble Systems may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session 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 directions provided in your Internet browsers help file. When you log into your Noble Systems portal account you may select the "Remember me" check box to set a persistent cookie to store your password, so you don't have to enter it more than once. You can remove the portal login cookie by clicking the "Logout" link. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be limited and you may need to reenter personal information when you register for events. 5. How We Protect Your Personal Information
Noble Systems safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. Likewise, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, and make sure you use a secure browser. The Noble Systems website uses SSL v3 and TLS v1 encryption on all web pages where personal information is submitted. This protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information as it is transmitted over the Internet. Noble Systems does not store credit card numbers on our servers. Credit card numbers are submitted to a credit card authorization service. This service provides Noble Systems with credit card validation information only. We do not have access to your personal financial data. Noble Systems may employ independent contractors to help manage data services, and such contractors may have access to data, similar to the access we give our employees. Also, Noble Systems may store sales account data, including personally identifiable information, with a third party application service provider. 6. Access To Your Personal Information
You always have access to the information we have about you. To update your personal contact information, contact webmaster@noblesys.com with your email address, name and company name, plus the information that you would like to be modified. We encourage you to review your preferences regularly to keep the information current.
7. Newsletters And Promotional Email
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletters and promotional communications from Noble Systems, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by managing your subscriber preferences (or email webmaster@noblesys.com with your name and email address and asking to be removed). 8. Links To Other Sites
Noble Systems web site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Noble Systems. Please be aware that Noble Systems is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. 9. Information Obtained From Third Parties
Noble Systems does not sell or trade your personal information. We may at times receive contact lists from other organizations. We may send mailings such as brochures to these addresses. Typically, these are one-time mailings, and the data is not entered into our database. If you want to remove yourself from the third party's database, you must contact them directly. These mailings have a brochure code printed on the mailing label. By providing this code, we will be able to tell you from what provider we received your contact info. 10. Changes To This Privacy Statement
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. 11.
