Experience Mission Privacy Policy
September, 2003
Experience Mission has created the Experience Mission Privacy Policy (the "Policy") to explain our privacy practices. When you visit the Experience Mission site or use any Experience Mission service, you should understand when and how Personal Information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected.
Experience Mission will not sell or disclose information to third parties without your consent or as otherwise provided in this Policy. You should know, however, that when you use any of the Experience Mission services to make an online transaction, Experience Mission will use information about those transactions or other information as described in this Policy. We do this in order to provide you and Experience Mission clients with better service.
This Policy is based on several simple ideas in which we believe.
Information Collected About You
We collect a variety of Personal Information about users creating transactions through the Experience Mission site. Personal Information is information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity such as a customer's name, address, telephone number, credit card information, bank account information, e-mail address, or information about activities that is directly linked to that person.
When a visitor is a business or other entity utilizing Experience Mission services for employees or other authorized users, this Policy will generally govern the Personal Information associated with individual employees or authorized users. However, whether the business customer has access to Personal Information of employees or other authorized users will be governed by the terms of any service agreement. So, employees or other authorized users should check with the business customer regarding its privacy practices.
Our definition of Personal Information does not include "aggregate" information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or customers from which individual customer identities have been removed. In other words, how you use a service may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no Personal Information will be included in the resulting data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and user needs so that we can better consider new services or tailor existing services to the market. An example of aggregate data is our ability to prepare a report that indicates that a certain number of users always make online transactions using a certain credit card or at certain times. The report would not contain any Personal Information but the aggregate data might be purchased by or shared with a third party.
Here are the types of personal and other information we collect. You should refer to the rest of this Policy to see how we use, disclose and protect that information:
Information You Give Us: We collect information you give us when you make an online transaction using the Experience Mission services. For example, you will provide us a billing address and credit card or bank account information when making an online transaction.
Automatically Collected Information: We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, when you visit the Experience Mission site, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use, also known as "Click Stream Information." This Click Stream Information generally will not personally identify you or be correlated to you individually for external purposes. When we share such information with other companies, it is not traceable to any particular donor, and will not be used to contact you. If we do correlate any Click Stream Information to you, such information will be treated like any other Personal Information under this policy.
Information from Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with the information we collect. For example, we may receive credit information for purposes of validating an online transaction.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
Experience Mission does not knowingly, directly or passively, collect information from children under the age of 13. To respect the privacy of children and to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, children under the age of 13 should not provide any Personal Information on this Site. We ask that parents supervise their children while online.
Use Of Personal Information
Internal Use. In general, we use Personal Information to serve our clients who retain Experience Mission to facilitate online transactions. More specifically, we use Personal Information for billing purposes, to provide the services or complete the transactions you have requested. Also, we may use your Personal Information for our own internal statistical, design, and operational purposes such as to estimate our audience size; measure aggregate traffic patterns; and understand demographic, transactions and other trends among our guests and users.
Third Party Use. You should review the following section to understand when Experience Mission discloses Personal Information to third parties.
Disclosure Of Personal Information
Information about our users is one of our most important business assets, and therefore we strive to protect it and keep it confidential to the greatest extent. As you can reasonably expect, the Personal Information we collect through your transaction will be shared with the entity to whom you transact. Further, Experience Mission's site is hosted by Kopavi Systems, Inc. ("Kopavi"); Kopavi will have access to your Personal Information in order to complete the transaction. Aside from Kopavi and the entities to whom you transact, Experience Mission will not sell or otherwise share Personal Information to third parties without your consent. When and what types of information Experience Mission discloses depends on the service and in some cases the choices you have made. We disclose Personal Information as follows:
As stated above, we will share your Personal Information only with those entities with whom you transact. Users may not opt out of this use. Such Experience Mission clients maintain their own privacy policies, which may differ from this Privacy Policy. Experience Mission makes no representations, warranties or endorsements of any Experience Mission client's privacy policy. Before making a transaction to a Experience Mission client through this site, you should review that client's privacy policy.
Your Consent. Experience Mission will not disclose Personal Information other than in accordance with this Policy. In general, that means that you must consent to the disclosure in advance. Depending on the service, we may obtain your consent in a number of ways, including:
As stated above, Experience Mission shares Personal Information with third parties as necessary to complete a transaction, otherwise perform the services offered on the Experience Mission site or perform a service on our behalf. When the third party acts solely on our behalf, Experience Mission will require them to follow our privacy practices. For example, Kopavi hosts the Experience Mission site. They can only use the Personal Information we give them as necessary to host the Experience Mission sites.
Business Transfers: Information about users of Experience Mission services, including Personal Information, will be disclosed as part of any merger, sale of the company assets or acquisition as well as in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which Personal Information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company.
Protection of Experience Mission and Others: We release Personal Information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena); to enforce or apply our customer agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for services; to protect our rights or property, or to protect users of our services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of such services.
Experience Mission Use Of "Cookies"
Cookies are small text files placed on your hard drive by a Web site when you visit. These files identify your computer and records your preferences and other data about your visit so that when you return to the site, the site knows who you are and can personalize your visit.
Experience Mission Use Of Web Beacons
A Web beacon, also known as a Web bug, is a small, graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or in an e-mail message that is designed to allow the site owner or a third party to monitor the address and other information of the site viewing the item. Web beacons are often invisible to the user because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the Web page, document or e-mail message. Web beacons are represented as HTML IMG tags in the Web page; users can click on "view profiles" of the Web page to see whether the page is using a Web beacon. Web beacons collect the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from and the time it was viewed. Web beacons can also be linked to Personal Information.
McGlashan does not use Web beacons.
Experience Mission Placement Of Banner Ads On Other Web Sites
Experience Mission may use third-party advertising companies to place advertisements about our services on other Web sites. Currently, Experience Mission does not use any third-party advertising companies to place advertisements about our services. If, in the future, we do use such companies, whether that advertising company uses cookie technology, Web beacons or tagging is solely the decision of that company. Further, if we engage such advertisers, this Policy will be updated to provide you with more information.
Links To Other Sites
Please be aware that we may provide links to third-party Web sites, including those sites maintained by Experience Mission's clients, as a service to our guests, and that we are not responsible for the content or information collection practices of those pages. Please note that these Web sites' privacy policies may differ from those of Experience Mission's. We encourage you to review and understand their privacy practices before providing them with information.
Network And Information Security
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your Personal Information. For example, we use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we restrict access to Personal Information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide services to you. In addition, we work to protect the security of your Personal Information during transmission (including making an online transaction) via a Experience Mission site by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. You should be aware that Experience Mission has no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you buy products or services. Further, we store the Personal Information we collect from you behind a secure firewall and place the transaction site on a secure server.
An important part of protecting the security of Personal Information is your efforts to protect against unauthorized access to your Personal Information, credit card information, bank account information, user name and password and to your computer. Also, be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer and always log out of any site when viewing Personal Information.
Checking Account Information For Accuracy
You may contact Experience Mission to change or review any information Experience Mission has about you.
Updating This Policy
Experience Mission will revise or update this Policy if our practices change, as we change existing or add new services or as we develop better ways to inform you of services we think will be of interest. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes. If we decide to change this Policy, we will post a new Policy on our sites and change the date at the top of the policy; such amended policy shall not apply retroactively.
