User Consent
By using this Web site, users agree with the terms of The Hendren Project Privacy Policy as stated here. Whenever information is submitted via this Website, users consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with The Hendren Project Privacy Policy.
How We Collect Information
Active Collection of Information. The Hendren Project actively collects information from its users both by asking specific questions and by permitting users to communicate directly with and through the Website via e-mail, feedback forms, surveys, comments, and discussion forums. Some of the information that users submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with users, such as full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on). Some areas of this site may require users to submit information in order to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions, profile page, and order processing) or to participate in a particular activity. Users will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection. As users navigate through The Hendren Project, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without users actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as cookies, Internet Protocol addresses, and navigational data collection.
Cookies. The Hendren Project collects information using ‘session’ cookies and ‘persistent’ cookies. Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. Cookies enable the Website to uniquely identify a user for such functions as Website updates, news, jobs and resume submission, journal access, and discussion forums access.
Session cookies are small text files that a Website sends to a user’s Web browser that helps the site remember information about the user and about a user’s preferences. The cookie terminates once a user closes the browser or after a 24-hour interval. Session cookies are used to store sensitive information such as a user's Hendren Project password.
Persistent cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of a user’s computer and remain there until a user deletes the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on a user’s computer for purposes such as retrieving certain information users have previously provided (for example, your Hendren Project user ID).
Internet Protocol Addresses (IP Addresses). An IP Address is a number assigned to a user’s computer by a user’s Internet service provider so that users can access the Internet. The Hendren Project uses IP addresses to report aggregate information, to determine the fastest route for a user’s computer to connect to The Hendren Project, and to administer and improve The Hendren Project. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Navigational Data. The use of navigational data, including javascript and small gif images improves the accuracy of visitor statistics. This information does not contain personally identifiable information and is used only in aggregate.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, The Hendren Project may use collected information to improve the content of The Hendren Project, to customize the site to reflect a user’s preferences, to communicate information to users (if users have requested it), for marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in The Hendren Project Privacy Policy.
If users provide personally identifiable information to The Hendren Project, the Website may combine that information with other actively collected information unless The Hendren Project specifies otherwise at the point of collection. The Hendren Project will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable information from being combined with passively collected information, unless users consent otherwise.
We may disclose personally identifiable information to other affiliates worldwide of The Hendren Project that agree to treat the information in accordance with The Hendren Project Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose a user’s personally identifiable information to third parties, such as contractors we use to support our business (for example, fulfillment services, technical support, industry sponsors, delivery services, and financial institutions). The Hendren Project will require such third parties to agree to treat a user’s information in accordance with The Hendren Project Privacy Policy. Under limited circumstances, tThe Hendren Project may release personally identifiable information where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
Updating Personally Identifiable Information
Users are encouraged to keep personally identifiable information accurate, current, and complete by accessing The Hendren Project Registration page. The Hendren Project will take reasonable steps to update or correct personally identifiable information in the possession of the Website that users have previously submitted via The Hendren Project.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information as a user transmits information from his or her computer to The Hendren Project and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from The Hendren Project may not be secure, and users should therefore take special care in deciding what information users send to the Website via e-mail. Moreover, where users use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on The Hendren Project, it is a user’s responsibility to safeguard them.
