Privacy Statement
The International Oracle Users Group (IOUG) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for IOUG.
Information Collected
IOUG gathers three
types of information about users:
**Data that users provide through site
password registration. Access to IOUG members only areas is a privilege of membership in the International Oracle Users Group. The password registration form requires
that users give us contact information (like name and e-mail address).
We may use this contact information to send you information about
IOUG news and events. This contact information may also be used to
contact you directly, if necessary.
**Aggregated tracking data provided by
server logs.Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic
information and to help diagnose problems with our server and to
administer our Web site. Our server logs may also collect information
about the URL which referred you to IOUG
as well as which pages receive the most traffic. This information
helps us offer personalized information to users and to better
tailor our future content to users' needs.
**Order forms and registration forms. Our
site uses forms so that customers can register for IOUG events and
order IOUG products. We collect site visitors' personal contact
information (like name and address) and financial information
(like credit card number). Contact information is used for
administrative purposes such as order fulfillment. Users who register
for an IOUG event or order IOUG products may receive notification of
other upcoming events or sales promotions that may be of interest.
Financial information collected is used only to bill the user for
products and services ordered.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and offline. When our forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or Social Security number), the information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry-SSL. SSL Encryption is a method by which information transmitted across the Internet is scrambled to the point where it's virtually indecipherable by anyone who should intercept the data before it reaches its destination. Web pages where SSL encryption is activated are typically identified by a lock or key symbol displayed somewhere in your browser. Refer to your browser's documentation for the specific symbol and location. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also protect user information offline.
Information Provided to Third Parties
IOUG may provide
aggregated demographic and site usage information to third parties
such as site advertisers.
Links to Other Sites
This site contains links to other Web sites. Linked
sites are not under the control of ioug.org
and IOUG is not responsible for the contents of any linked
site or any link contained in a linked site.
IOUG is not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites or organizations.
IOUG provides links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any
link does not imply endorsement by IOUG of the company, products, or
services offered by that site or organization. If you feel that information found via
a link from IOUG is offensive or
counter-productive to IOUG's mission or values, please contact the
webmaster with your concern. Include the full link and the page on
the IOUG site where the link is listed.
Public Forums
IOUG makes discussion forums available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. Participation in the discussion forums is contingent upon your agreement to the RULES OF CONDUCT for those areas.
