Information Use Policy
Personal Information
When you supply us with your Personal Information, we will use it for the express purpose stated when we ask for such Personal Information (e.g., to process conference registration or payment or to respond to requests you may have regarding the TRI 2027 Conference or a transaction). We may also use your Personal Information to contact you regarding your registration, participation, or account, or to provide information about other products, services, programs, or events that may be of interest to you (including those we may offer jointly with other companies). At any time, however, you may opt out or unsubscribe from such contact (see the Contact Us page). We respect your privacy and your right to limit the ways in which we contact you.
Anonymous Information
We collect Anonymous Information in an effort to ensure that our web pages will appear and function appropriately on your computer, to help us improve our services and the TRI 2027 website, and so we may determine which site referred you to the TRI 2027 website.
Personal Information and Anonymous Information
At times, we may retain third parties to analyze data we collect, including Personal Information and Anonymous Information, solely to help us provide and improve our services and the TRI 2027 website. In addition, if you register for, purchase, or request a product or service from us, we may provide Personal Information to suppliers, service providers, and other third parties as necessary to process your registration, payment, or request and enable delivery of such product or service. These third parties are not authorized to use your Personal Information in any other way and are required to keep the information confidential. ATA does not sell or license Personal Information or Anonymous Information. Please note that we will release your Personal Information or Anonymous Information if required to do so by law, or by search warrant, subpoena, or court order.
Security of Information
The security of your Personal Information is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting the Personal Information we collect. We have reasonable security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, alteration, or unauthorized access of Personal Information we have collected from you. This includes the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for processing payments securely. All Personal Information is subject to restricted access to prevent loss, misuse, alteration, or unauthorized access.
Retention and Storage
We will retain your Personal Information in our databases in accordance with our document management and retention policy and applicable laws. This period may extend beyond the end of your relationship with us or the conclusion of the TRI 2027 Conference, but it will be only as long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to prevent fraudulent activity, protect ourselves against liability, permit us to pursue available remedies, or limit any damages that we may sustain. Also, we may retain your Personal Information beyond the end of your relationship with us if we believe in good faith that a law, regulation, rule, or guideline requires it.
Links
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the TRI 2027 website. The TRI 2027 website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by ATA. ATA is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. These websites may have their own policies regarding privacy and security. We advise you to review any linked websites for their own privacy practices.
Legal Disclaimer
We cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will never be compromised. No Internet transmission is ever 100% secure. Further, while we employ reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not defeat those measures or use non-public Personal Information for improper purposes. Nevertheless, we have adopted this Privacy Policy and undertaken the described security measures as an endeavor to respect your privacy and to keep your Personal Information confidential.
ATA reserves the right to disclose your Personal Information without your consent and without notice to you as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on ATA. The legal process may require us to disclose or allow access to Personal Information, such as your account, registration, billing, payment, and communications sent to ATA. We may also use or disclose your Personal Information without your consent (a) to protect our conference participants, customers, employees, or property; (b) in emergency situations; (c) to enforce our rights in court or elsewhere, or directly with you, for violations of service terms, conditions, or policies; and/or (d) as otherwise required by law.
Modifications to Privacy Policy
ATA reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice to you, to change or remove this Privacy Policy at its discretion. We will post any new policy here, and we encourage you to visit this area periodically to stay informed. Privacy Policy changes will apply to information collected from the date we post the revised Privacy Policy to the TRI 2027 website, as well as to existing information held by us, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
