ChapterBoard® Privacy Policy
Welcome to ChapterBoard.com, a website and online service owned and operated by ChapterBoard LLC. ("ChapterBoard" "we," or "us"), which provides a place for people like you to communicate with others in their work, school or community networks in real time.
Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
The Information We Collect
We only collect such personal information that is necessary for you to access and use our services. This personal information includes, but is not limited to, first and last name, physical address, zip code, email address, phone number, social security number, birth date, billing address and credit card information.
It is also important to be aware that your interaction on the ChapterBoard site and any information you contribute is available to other members of your Network and that you and your Network are the sole owners of this information.
Cookies
When you visit some websites, their web servers generate pieces of information known as cookies. Some cookies collect personal information to recognize your computer in the future. This is not the case with ChapterBoard, where we only use non-persistent cookies or "per-session cookies." These cookies do not collect personal information on users and they are erased as soon as you close your browser.
Per-session cookies serve technical purposes like providing seamless navigation through the ChapterBoard website. These cookies do not permanently record data and they are not stored on your computer's hard drive. The ChapterBoard website cookies are stored in memory and are only available during an active browser session. Again, once you close your browser, the cookie disappears.
In order to effectively monitor site wide usage statistics we utilize Google Analytics. We share no personally identifiable information with this 3rd party service and use it only to monitor the success of our service. For more information about how Google Analytics uses cookies please read more here.
The Way We Use Information
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design ChapterBoard and to share with advertisers and business partners. For example, we may advise one of our service providers the number of individuals visiting a certain area on ChapterBoard, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individual persons.
ChapterBoard may release personal information if ChapterBoard is required to by law, search warrant, subpoena, court order or fraud investigation.
We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Our Commitment To Data Security
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.
You can be confident in knowing that we are a verified Authorize.Net merchant. Authorize.Net is committed to providing its merchant customers with the highest level of transaction processing security, safeguarding customer information and combating fraud. We implement and maintain compliance with industry leading security initiatives such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. More than 232,000 merchants trust Authorize.Net to process their Internet transactions securely.
Our Commitment To Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at ChapterBoard from those we actually know are under 13 years of age, and no part of ChapterBoard is structured to attract anyone or allow anyone entrance under 13 years of age.
How To Access Or Correct Your Information
You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by sending an e-mail to team@chapterboard.com. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information. You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what 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 users by way of e-mail. Users 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.
