What personal information does GL Education Group International collect?
In general, when you visit our website and access information you remain anonymous. Before we ask you for information, we will explain how this information will be used. We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies or individuals without your permission.
Some areas of our website require registration to access, although typically all that is requested is your e-mail address and some basic information about you, such as the areas of assessment that you are interested in.
There are occasions when we will ask for additional information. We do this to be able to better understand your needs, and to provide you with services that we believe may be valuable to you. This information is used by the GL Education Group.
Some examples of information that our websites collect are name, address and phone number. We give you the opportunity to elect not to receive materials from us. If you sign up for one of our divisional newsletters or e-mail list, each message will include instructions on how to "unsubscribe" from that list.
Protecting your privacy
We will take appropriate steps to protect your privacy. We will also take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information in storage. Additionally, access to personally identifiable information is limited to individuals needing such access to perform their job function.
We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies or individuals without your permission. However, we will need to provide your name and delivery address to third parties that the GL Education Group uses for the purposes of delivering specific services to you (e.g. our distribution agency and their shipping company if you have asked us to send something to you).
We provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control those websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these third party sites.
