This privacy policy ("policy") will help you understand the American Society of Employers (“ASE,” "us," "we," "our") uses and protects the data you provide to us when you visit and use our website (“Site”).
We reserve the right to change this policy at any given time, of which you will be promptly updated. If you want to make sure that you are up to date with the latest changes, we advise you to frequently visit this page.
When you visit the Site, we may collect the following data:
We are collecting your data for several reasons:
ASE collects and uses your personal information to operate the ASE Site and deliver the services you have requested. American Society of Employers also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from ASE and its affiliates. ASE may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
ASE does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. ASE may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, ASE may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to American Society of Employers, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
ASE does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, etc., without your explicit consent.
ASE keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within ASE, in order to determine what ASE services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within ASE to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
ASE Sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on American Society of Employers or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of American Society of Employers; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of American Society of Employers, or the public.
ASE is committed to securing your data and keeping it confidential. ASE has done all in its power to prevent data theft, unauthorized access, and disclosure by implementing the latest technologies and software, which help us safeguard all the information we collect online.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by ASE. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by ASE for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the ASE site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through ASE public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: American Society of Employers does not read any of your private online communications.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at asenewsletter@aseonline.org.
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
