Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Introduction.
SIMONI SYSTEMS respects the privacy of
every individual who visits its Web sites and uses its services. This privacy
statement provides notice of the standards and terms under which SIMONI SYSTEMS
protects the privacy of information supplied by visitors to sites on the World
Wide Web that are owned and operated by SIMONI SYSTEMS. This privacy statement
provides notice of our information collection practices and of the ways in
which your information may be used. This policy may change from time to time,
so please check back periodically to review this information.
Personally Identifiable Information.
SIMONI SYSTEMS typically receives specific
data about its Web site visitors only when such information is provided
voluntarily, such as when our visitors request information, purchase or enroll
for services, provide resume information for employment opportunities, or send
us e-mail. Of course, some of these activities require that you give us
information, such as when you make a purchase, use a credit card or electronic
payment service to pay for SIMONI SYSTEMS services, submit your resume, or
request certain types of information.
When you provide personally identifiable
information to SIMONI SYSTEMS through one of our Web sites, it will be used to
fulfill your specific request. However, SIMONI SYSTEMS reserves the right, in
its discretion, to send you bulletins and other important information about
your SIMONI SYSTEMS services.
SIMONI SYSTEMS currently only sends
service communication e-mails through SIMONI SYSTEMS, and does not send
marketing e-mails or third-party advertisements through SIMONI SYSTEMS. The
service communication e-mails are essential to our registering you for service
and to our continuing provision of services to you and may include notification
of new services available via SIMONI SYSTEMS. Therefore, you may not opt out of
receiving these e-mail messages.
SIMONI SYSTEMS will not, however, sell,
trade, or otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information unless we
are authorized or legally required to do so, or in the case of imminent
physical harm to any person. On those SIMONI SYSTEMS sites where you may
provide SIMONI SYSTEMS with credit card, electronic payment service, or other
ordering information via the Web, SIMONI SYSTEMS protects and secures this
information by employing commercially customary Web-based security and
encryption protocols, an example of which is the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). On
those sites where you voluntarily offer any feedback, data, answers, questions,
comments, suggestions, ideas or the like, SIMONI SYSTEMS will treat that
portion of the information as non-confidential and non-proprietary and, except
as otherwise expressed in this privacy statement, SIMONI SYSTEMS assumes
no obligation to protect such information from disclosure.
Non-Personally Identifiable (Generic) Information.
In general, SIMONI SYSTEMS gathers some generic information automatically. Generic
information does not reveal the identity of the visitor. It usually includes
information about the Internet address assigned to your computer, the number
and frequency of visitors, and the SIMONI SYSTEMS sites visited. SIMONI SYSTEMS
gathers this information for the limited purpose of determining customer
service and Web site needs. We accomplish this by using certain technologies,
including "cookies" (a technology that can be used to provide the
visitor with tailored information about SIMONI SYSTEMS services). SIMONI
SYSTEMS does not combine information collected in this way with any personally
identifiable information. You can set your Web browser to notify you when you
receive a cookie and you can refuse it. However, refusing some cookies may make
it impossible to use or navigate the SIMONI SYSTEMS Web site properly.
PURPOSES
All such information will, or may, be used
for any or all of the following purposes:
Consideration of applicants for
membership, employment and for various services and benefits;
Membership records, administration,
marketing of individual members to actual or potential clients;
Training record, administration and marketing;
Marketing, administration and records for
other services offered to members or to the public;
General administrative and marketing
purposes of the Association;
Statistical analyses and reports.
Exceptions and Limitations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and in
compliance with applicable laws, SIMONI SYSTEMS (i) cooperates fully with
state, local, and federal officials in any investigation relating to any
content (including personal or private electronic communications transmitted to
SIMONI SYSTEMS ) or purported unlawful activities of any user of the SIMONI
SYSTEMS Service, and (ii) takes reasonable measures to protect its
proprietary rights. For the limited purposes of accomplishing such cooperation
and measures and in compliance with applicable laws, SIMONI SYSTEMS may be
required to disclose personally identifiable information.
In addition, SIMONI SYSTEMS may elect to
monitor the areas of communication of any kind (i) to satisfy any law,
regulation, or government request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or
appropriate to operate SIMONI SYSTEMS's business; or (iii) to protect the
rights or property of SIMONI SYSTEMS or others.

privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make
material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means
of a notice on our home page.
