Information Collection and Use

Distance Learning Providers, Inc., is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Distance Learning Providers collects information from our users at several different points on our website.

Registration

In order to use some portions of this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration, a user is required to give their contact information (such as name, company information and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest or for which they have applied. It is sometimes optional for the user to provide demographic and geographic information (such as street address), but we encourage all users to provide as much of the optional information as they are comfortable so that we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.

Cookies

The Distance Learning Providers website does not currently use "cookies." The site may in the future; at that time, all active subscribers to the service will be notified of this change in our policy.

Web Server Log Files

We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track patterns of user movement through the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. We use such information to help us improve navigation methods, develop content which meets the interests of the greatest numbers of users, and to identify any other areas for improvement or development.

Sharing

We may share aggregated usage and demographic information with our business partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person or company.

In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our users, it is occasionally necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from third-party sources. For example, In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an individual’s preferences and to provide information and services that meet and even anticipate our users' needs, we combine information about the information needs of our users with similar information from our partner companies and from third-party sources, to create a generalized user profile. Information we contribute to this process is aggregated usage and demographic information only. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person or company.

Links

This web site contains many links to other sites. Please be aware that Distance Learning Providers is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they use such links, they should read the privacy statements of each and every web site so linked, regarding their collection and use of any personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the Distance Learning Providers website.

Newsletter and other Email Services

If a user wishes to subscribe to any of our email services, such as an email newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose any of the information requested in the survey or contest forms. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic or geographic information (such as job title or zip code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Tell-A-Friend

If a user elects to use any of our referral services for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. Distance Learning Providers will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Distance Learning Providers stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact Distance Learning Providers to request the removal of this information from their database, by sending email to unsubscribe@dlproviders.com.

Security

This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When any online form on our site asks users to enter sensitive information, we will use our best efforts to encrypt and protect that information. While on a secure page, 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 encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices or on our off-site or backup servers. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. On a regular basis, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, in our locked offices.

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

Subscribers

We may, from time to time, offer email subscription services, providing news and information of interest to our customers. We will send all new subscribers a welcoming email to verify their username and password. Established subscribers will occasionally receive information on additional Distance Learning Providers products or services, special offers, and email services. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications at the end of each email communication sent as part of these subscriptions.

Site and Service Updates

We also send the user announcements regarding significant site and service updates. Active members of our services are not able to un-subscribe from such service announcements, which contain important information about their service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.

Correction/Updating Personal Information

If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your telephone number or email address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support.

Choice and Opt-out

Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site or any of the services we offer on our site, at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our registration form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who register for a particular service from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in any email we send them, or by sending us email at unsubscribe@distancelearningproviders.com. Users may also send us a written request by mail or fax: Distance Learning Providers, Inc., ATTN: Opt-out Email, 1720 E Los Angeles Avenue, Suite 233, Simi Valley CA 93065-2033, FAX (805) 577-0149.

Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this webpage so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under which circumstances, if any, we might 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 users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we may use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
