Privacy Policy

Your confidentiality is important to us.

Podium Notes is firmly committed to the privacy of its members. This brief overview summarizes our philosophy.

OVERVIEW
The information contained within your member profile is NEVER released to third parties of any kind.

Information Collection and Use
Podium Notes is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Podium Notes will not provide any personal identifying information on individual members to any third party . The confidentiality policy and the notification policy are stated in the text and apply to all registrants.

Order
We request information from companies/individuals on our order form. Here they must provide contact information (like name and address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing and processing orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch you.

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Podium Notes is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our members to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our members´ information. When members/companies submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks members to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) that information is encrypted and is protected with one of the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing´.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect member-information off-line. All of our members´ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to your information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment under constant supervision.

If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to webmaster@podiumnotes.com.

Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our members we present the option to not receive these types of communications.

Site and Service Updates
We also send our members site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with our members to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our homepage so our members are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify members by way of an email. Members will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
