Privacy Statement
FourPointGroup Privacy Policy effective
September 1, 2004.
FourPointGroup is committed to respecting your
privacy. We've structured our Web site so that, in general, you
can visit FourPointGroup on the Web without identifying yourself
or revealing any personal information. Once you choose to provide
us personally identifiable information (any information by which
you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only be
used to supply you with more details about who we are and what we
do.
This statement regarding the privacy of the personally
identifiable information you provide online covers four main areas:
Awareness, Choice, Accuracy & Access and Security.
Awareness
FourPointGroup provides this Online Privacy Statement
to make you aware of our privacy policy and practices and of 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 from the bottom of every page on our Web site.
What we collect
Upon logging onto our Web server, our Web server
automatically recognizes your domain name but not your E-mail address
(where possible). We will collect the domain name from which you
log on, aggregate information on what pages you access or visit,
user-specific information on what pages you access or visit and
information volunteered by you (such as survey information and/or
site registrations).
We do not collect your E-mail address unless you
contact us by E-mail or volunteer your E-mail address and other
personal information.
We do collect "cookies" to store your
preferences and record session information.
On some FourPointGroup Web sites, users may make
requests and register to receive information. The types of personal
information that may be collected on these pages are name and contact
information.
In order to tailor our subsequent communications
to you and continuously improve our web site, we may also ask you
to voluntarily provide us with information regarding your personal
or professional interests, demographics, experience with our services
and contact preferences.
How we use it
FourPointGroup uses your information to better
understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically,
we use your information to communicate back to you, to update you
on services and benefits, and to personalize our Web sites for you.
From time to time, we may also use your information
to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing
information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum,
we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving
such direct marketing or market research contact. We will also follow
local requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before receiving
unsolicited contact, where applicable. Data collected online may
also be combined with information you provide when you enroll with
FourPointGroup.
Whom we share it with
FourPointGroup will not sell, rent or lease your personally
identifiable information to others unless we have your permission
or are required by law. We will only share the personal data you
provide online with other FourPointGroup entities and/or business partners
who are acting on our behalf for the uses described above. Such
FourPointGroup entities and/or business partners, including those in
the United States and/or any other countries, are governed by our
privacy policies with respect to the use of this data and are bound
by the appropriate confidentiality agreements.
Choice
FourPointGroup will not use or share the personally
identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated
to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering
you a choice. As previously stated, we will also provide you the
opportunity to let us know if you do not wish to receive unsolicited
direct marketing materials from us and we will do everything we
can to honor such requests.
Your permission is always secured first, should
we ever share your information with third parties that are not acting
on our behalf and governed by our privacy policy.
Accuracy & Access
FourPointGroup strives to keep your personally
identifiable information accurate and secure. For non-members, we
do not provide access to your information online. In order to update
or correct your information with FourPointGroup it will be necessary
for you to contact FourPointGroup directly through the methods listed
below. To protect your privacy and security, upon contacting us
we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before
granting you access or enabling you to make corrections.
At present, FourPointGroup does not offer links to third-party
Web sites.
Security
FourPointGroup is committed to ensuring the security
of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure,
maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information,
we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
We use the latest in encryption technology when collecting or transferring
sensitive data.
International Use
Information that is submitted to FourPointGroup's Web
Sites will be collected, processed, stored, disclosed, and disposed
of in accordance with applicable U.S. law. If you are a non-U.S.
user, you agree and acknowledge that we may collect and use your
personal data and disclose it outside your resident jurisdiction,
as discussed in "Whom We Share It With" above. In addition,
such information may be stored on servers located outside your resident
jurisdiction. U.S. law may not provide the degree of protection
for information that is available in other countries. By providing
us with your information, you acknowledge that you have read this
Policy, understand it, agree to its terms and consent to the transfer
of such information outside your resident jurisdiction. If you do
not agree to this policy, please do not use the FourPointGroup Web Sites.

From time to time, we may use customer information
for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy
notice. If our information practices change at some time in the
future, we will post the policy changes to our Web site to notify
you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out
of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information
is used, you should check back at our Web site periodically. We
will only use data collected after a policy has changed for the
new purposes.
