Collection of
Non-Personal Data
If you browse ASQ Philly's Web site, you do so anonymously. We do not
collect personal information - including your e-mail address. We do log your
IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to tell us which parts of
our Web site you visit and how long you spend there. We do not link your IP
address to anything personally identifiable. We track what country you are
accessing the Internet from, and what time and date you visited. The only
other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and
operating system you are using. Your browser supplies us with this
information. We use this information from our server logs to learn more
about our visitors as a group, not about you as an individual. The
information helps us identify overall usage patterns and trends on the site.
Credit Card Information
We collect your credit card information, such as card number and card
expiration date, when you purchase products on our site. We will not
voluntarily disclose your credit card information without your consent.
Cookies
What is a Cookie? A cookie is a tiny piece of information that a web site
stores on your computer. When you revisit the Web site, your browser sends
the information back to the site. Cookies allow Web sites to maintain
information on a particular user. For example, an online bookstore might use
a cookie to store the contents of your shopping cart so that you can
conveniently purchase a cart full of items rather than one item at a time.
Cookies can only store data that is provided by the server or generated by
an explicit user action. Cookies are designed to be read only by the site
that provides them, not by other sites. Most Web browsers can be configured
to notify you when cookies arrive and ask your approval to accept them, or
to refuse cookies outright. Most browsers can also delete cookies you may
have accepted in the past.
ASQ Philly Cookie
ASQ Philly uses cookies to keep track of your shopping cart. An unique ID is
assigned to a shopping session. Our Web server sends the shopping cart ID to
your computer. If your browser is configured to accept cookies, the unique
ID is stored on your computer and sent back to our Web server. The unique ID
is retrieved and used by the server to find out the contents in your
shopping cart, which is stored on the server side. At the present time, ASQ
Philly cookies will be deleted automatically when you quit the browser. This
may change in the future as ASQ Philly strives to personalize your Web
experience with us. The ASQ Philly Web site cookie will not damage your
system or files in any way.
Web Site
Surveys, Contests, and Other Forms

this information to provide you with information about the products and
services offered by ASQ Philly. Online forms are available for customers to
request information, products, and services. In addition, this site uses
registration forms for customers to register for courses, conferences,
and/or certification exams. We collect information about you only if you
voluntarily provide contact information within these forms. We do not share
this information with anyone.
Disclosure
We retain the right to release your personal information to proper
authorities when required by law or in good faith, believe that we must
release the information in order to: (a) satisfy a legal order or comply
with legal process; (b) defend the rights of ASQ Philly or its affiliates or
business partners; or (c) protect the personal safety of ASQ Philly
employees, agents, affiliates, business partners, customers, or site users.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and
