We're in this together

At Advantage Educational Solutions, we acknowledge that the emergence of online business brings new opportunities and new responsibilities. 

We embrace the opportunity to provide our services to you in an open and personalized manner. But we share with you the responsibility of controlling the exchange, storage, and use of selected personal information about our clients and users of our site. 

The information we collect

This site collects information about you, including your email address. In addition, information you agree to provide us when registering for a discussion forum or joining the membership, such as your name, title, company names, address, telephone number, fax number, and credit card information is collected and retained. We may verify or combine this information with data about you that we have gathered from other sources or may already have in our files. 

Why we collect it

Our intention is always to gather only the information needed to serve you better, and never to gather information without your knowledge. We aim to balance our legitimate business interests with a level of privacy you would reasonably expect in the normal 'offline' world. 

Anonymous information about our readers as a group, is collected mostly through standard analysis of our Web server log files. We use this information to closely monitor what areas of the site are used most and how to determine which areas we need to focus on improving. This information is used exclusively by Advantage Educational Solutions in aggregate form so that we may continue to improve the value of the services and information on the Web site to our members as a whole. 

We also gather information which can identify you personally, generally to provide you with Advantage Educational Solutions services or products you requested and for Advantage Educational Solutions billing purposes. 

We may also compile and use this information so that we may keep you informed of upcoming events, send you subscription information, to customize your visit to IEPadvantage.com, and offer new products and services that may be of interest to you.

IEPadvantage.com does not provide its electronic mailing list to third parties. We may be required by law, however, to disclose personal information about you to a third party. (Personal information refers to your name, email address, street address, phone number and so forth. )

Your Advantage Educational Solutions Account Information and Advantage Educational Solutions Profile are password-protected so that you and only you have access to this personal information. You may edit your account information by using your Advantage Educational Solutions ID and password. 

We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Advantage Educational Solutions will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also remember to sign out of your Advantage Educational Solutions account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. 

As part of a global company Advantage Educational Solutions has international sites and users all over the world. When you give Advantage Educational Solutions personal information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information, such as to the United States or other countries. In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside of the country where you entered that information. Whenever Advantage Educational Solutions handles personal information as described above, regardless of where this occurs, Advantage Educational Solutions takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy. 

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, Advantage Educational Solutions 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. 

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 chat areas - that 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. 

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.
