Privacy Policy
ASQ Baltimore Section 0502 (ASQ0502) the owner of www.asqbaltimore.org is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its members, customers and visitors. This privacy policy describes what information ASQ0502 will collect from visitors such as yourself, and how we will use that information once it’s collected. This policy does not apply to the practices of any third party, affiliate, or business partner that ASQ0502 does not own or control. This privacy policy only applies to ASQ0502’s Web site, www.asqbaltimore.org. It does not apply to Web sites of any other ASQ member, affiliate, Section, Division, or chapter. It does not apply to Web sites operated by other organizations or groups who associate themselves in any way with ASQ0502. It does not apply to any other Web sites, including those that link to the ASQ and ASQ0502 Web site.
Collection of non-personal data
If you browse ASQ0502’s Web site and you are not an ASQ member, you do so anonymously. We only collect your e-mail address and other personal information when you provide it of your own free will. We log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to tell us which parts of our Web site you visit and how long you spend there. We do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. We also track what country you are accessing the Internet from, and what time and date you visited. The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer, operating system and Web browser you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information. We use this information from our server logs to learn more about our visitors as a group, not about you as an individual. The information helps us identify overall usage patterns and trends on the site.
Collection of your personal information
Online forms are available for customers to request information, download articles, or purchase products and services. We obtain information you provide to us via these forms, as well as surveys and contests, such as your name, mailing address and e-mail address. We may use this information to provide you with information about the products and services offered by ASQ0502. In addition, this site uses registration forms for customers to register for courses, conferences, and/or certification exams. We collect information about you only if you voluntarily provide contact information within these forms.
Control of your personal information
ASQ 0502 will not sell or share your e-mail address with other organizations. However, other information you share may be used to provide you with information from ASQ or selected organizations about products, services or activities that may be of interest to you. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including electronic newsletter delivery and the processing of event registrations. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service. They are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. If you supply your personal information to an ASQ/ASQ 0502 partner, such as a training provider or the Career Center, please be aware that ASQ/ASQ 0502 no longer has control over the use of your personal information. We will not knowingly partner with companies that abuse personal information. However, be aware that our partner companies may contact you if you choose to conduct business with them.
Disclosure of your personal information
ASQ may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) satisfy a legal order or comply with legal process; (b) defend the rights of ASQ/ASQ 0502 or its affiliates or business partners; or (c) protect the personal safety of ASQ/ASQ 0502 employees, agents, affiliates, business partners, customers or Web site users.
ASQ0502 privacy policy changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy for www.asqbaltimore.org, we will post the modifications so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to any one other than what has already been disclosed.
