These forms may ask for contact information (such as your phone number or e-mail address), financial information (such as your credit card number), or demographic information (for example, your location, HR certification designation, etc.).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What information of yours does TMT collect?

Our goal is to become your destination for anti-harassment, HR certification, supervisor development training and HR consulting by providing information, services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you in the most convenient way. To achieve this goal, TMT collects information about site visitors. Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable. 

Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. TMT collects some information each time a visitor comes to a TMT website so that we can improve the overall quality of the visitor’s online experience. For example, TMT collects the visitor’s IP address, browser, and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Windows platform). Gathering this data helps us learn what browsers we need to support. Other anonymous information helps us determine what sections of TMT are most popular and how many visitors come to our site(s). You do not have to register with TMT before we can collect this anonymous information. 

Personally, identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are (e.g., your name and postal address). You are only required to provide such information if you want to take advantage of optional products and services offered through our website(s). 

TMT collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of its website(s): 

Registration: You may be asked for personal information when registering for specific services. For example, if you subscribe to an e-mail newsletter, you will be asked to provide your e-mail address. 

Online Purchases: We also ask for personal information when you make a purchase using the online store or when you subscribe to a TMT publication through our website. The number and variety of useful services on TMT that may require the collection of personally identifiable information will continue to grow in the future. 

2. What are “cookies” and how does TMT use them?

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of your computer. This unique number identifies your web browser but not you to TMT computers whenever you visit TMT. A cookie will not provide personally identifiable information about you, such as your name and address. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and cookies are currently used on most major websites. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser to notify you when you have received a cookie. You can also set your browser to refuse to accept cookies altogether. While TMT does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain services will not function if you set your browser to refuse all cookies. 

To help serve you better, TMT generally uses cookies to identify return visitors.

3. What organization collects the information and who has access to it?
Data collected through TMT’s website(s) is generally collected and maintained solely by TMT.

Personally identifiable information. When you provide personally identifiable information on TMT to register for a service, buy a product, or take advantage of a promotion, that information is collected and maintained solely by TMT, unless expressly stated otherwise at the point of collection. If you purchase a product or service that is shipped or performed by an outside company, and you do not wish to share this information, you are electing to share this information with that third party.

4. How does TMT use the information it collects?

TMT collects information to provide you with the services you request and to improve our website(s). TMT also uses this aggregate, anonymous data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our site visitors, to measure user interests regarding specific areas of TMT, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which parts of TMT are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately. TMT may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide information on individual users to the appropriate governmental authorities. In matters involving a danger to personal or public safety, TMT may voluntarily provide information to relevant regulatory authorities.

6. What kinds of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information?

TMT has security measures, such as firewalls, in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your user data under our control. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration to data will not occur, we take reasonable precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. Any other particularly sensitive information, such as your credit card number, collected for a commerce transaction is encrypted before transmission.
