Registration

When you register for Central Officers, sites, create an account, register for an Central Officers’ conference or event, or subscribe to any of our newsletters, Central Officers collects your personal information (including your name, address, and email address). This information is added to our mailing list so that, from time to time, we can send you information about new features, additions, events, participation in research, legal updates, and changes to any of Central Officers’ products and services.

Central Officers (“Central Officers” )  has adopted a set of Privacy Principles, which describes how we collect, use, and share personally identifiable information (information that can be used to identify you, such as your full name, email address, mailing address, or telephone number) (“PII”) we obtain from and about individuals located in the U.S. both online and off-line.

This Policy applies to all web sites and services owned or provided by Central Officers, including its subsidiaries (collectively “Central Officers”). All sites available under Central Officers will be subject to this Policy. The Central Officers is a general audience web site, and Central Officers does not knowingly collect PII from children under 13 years of age.

From time to time we may revise this Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our information collection and use practices, the features of the Central Officers, or technology. If we make revisions that change the way we collect or use your PII, those changes will be posted in this Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of this Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If we materially change our practices regarding use of your PII, your PII will continue to be governed by the Policy under which it was collected unless you have been provided notice of, and have not objected to, the change.

COLLECTION: Collection of PII by Central Officers

We also may receive on the Central Officers user-generated content or information of any type or medium, which may include PII, including but not limited to: audio conversations; text chat and video images from chat rooms; user reviews; article submissions.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information in public areas of an Central Officers Site, such as the member home pages and message boards, your information can be viewed and possibly used by others.
