This Statement of Privacy applies to the OSCRE International site and governs data collection and usage. By using the OSCRE site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Privacy Statement (last updated May 25th, 2018)

OSCRE International ("OSCRE", “we,” “us,” “our,” “OSCRE Academy” “Academy” or the “Company”) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who visit our website (“Visitors” or "Members"), individuals who use our Services as defined below (“Members” or “Registrants”), and individuals who register to attend OSCRE International 's events (“Attendees” “Members” or “Registrants”). This Privacy Statement describes OSCRE International ’s privacy practices in relation to the use of OSCRE International’s Websites and the related applications, services, and programs offered by OSCRE International (collectively, the “Services”), as well as individuals’ choices regarding use, access and correction of personal information.

If you have questions or complaints regarding OSCRE International 's Privacy Statement or associated practices, please contact us at info@oscre.org.

1. Websites covered

This Privacy Statement covers the information practices, including how OSCRE International collects, uses, shares, and secures the personal information you provide OSCRE International's Website (www.oscre.org)

OSCRE International 's Website has links to other non-OSCRE International websites. The information practices or the content of such other Websites is governed by the privacy statements of such other Websites. OSCRE International encourages you to review the privacy statements of other Websites to understand their information practices.

2. Information collected

When expressing an interest in obtaining additional information about the Services, or registering to use the Website or other Services, or registering for an event, OSCRE requires you to provide OSCRE International with personal contact information, such as name, company name, address, phone number, and email address (“Required Contact Information”). When purchasing the Services or registering for an event, OSCRE may also require you to provide OSCRE International with financial qualification and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number, and the number of employees within the organization that will be using the Services (“Billing Information”). OSCRE may also ask you to provide additional information, such as company annual revenues, number of employees, or industry (“Optional Information”). When Visitors apply for a job with OSCRE International, OSCRE may also require you to submit additional personal information as well as a resume (“Applicant Information”). Required Contact Information, Billing Information, Applicant Information, Optional Information, and any other information you submit to OSCRE to or through the Services are referred to collectively as “Data.”

As you navigate our Website, OSCRE may also collect information through the use of commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons (“Website Navigational Information”). Website Navigational Information includes standard information from your Web browser (such as browser type and browser language), your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and the actions you take on our Website (such as the Web pages viewed, and the links clicked).

Through our “add contacts” feature on the OSCRE Website, we may also collect information such as the name, address, phone number or email address of contacts that you choose to share with us.  When you provide us with personal information about your contacts, we will only use this information for the specific reason for which it is provided, such as to add new records to your OSCRE support account.

3. Use of information collected

OSCRE International uses Data about OSCRE Members to perform the services requested. For example, if you fill out a “Contact Me” Web form, OSCRE International will use the information provided to contact you about your interest in the Services.

OSCRE International also uses Data about OSCRE Attendees to plan and host corporate events, host online forums and social networks in which event Attendees may participate, and to populate online profiles for Attendees on OSCRE International’s Websites. Additional information on OSCRE International’s privacy practices with respect to Data about OSCRE Attendees may be found in additional privacy statements on the event Websites, as the case may be.

OSCRE International may also use Data about OSCRE Members and Attendees for marketing purposes. For example, OSCRE International may use information you provide to contact you to further discuss your interest in the Services and to send you information regarding OSCRE International, our Services and promotional information.

OSCRE International may also receive information about Members and Attendees from other sources, including third parties from whom we have purchased data, and combine this information with Data we already have about you. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new Members, and create more tailored advertising to provide products and services that may be of interest to you.

OSCRE International uses credit card information solely to collect payment from Members and Attendees.

OSCRE International uses Website Navigational Information to operate and improve OSCRE International’s Websites. OSCRE International may also use Website Navigational Information alone or in combination with Data about OSCRE Members and Data about OSCRE Attendees to provide personalized information about OSCRE International. For additional information about the use of Website Navigational Information, please see section 4. Website Navigational Information below.

OSCRE uses services offered by Google and Google Analytics to collect, aggregate, and analyze data in order to better understand how the site is used. OSCRE uses these cookies to collect anonymous and aggregated data for a limited time. The data is used, for example, to monitor and analyze site use, improve its functions, and more accurately choose content and graphic design, in order to meet visitors' expectations.

Information on how Google Analytics is used and its privacy policy are available on this link.

4. Website Navigational Information

Cookies, Web Beacons, and IP Addresses

OSCRE uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons, to collect information as you navigate the Website (“Website Navigational Information”). As described more fully below, we use these cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the Website and Services, track users’ movements around our Website and Services, and provide personalize content.  This section describes the types of Website Navigational Information used on OSCRE International’s Websites and Services, and how this information may be used.

Cookies
OSCRE uses cookies to make interactions with OSCRE International’s Website easy and meaningful. When you visit our Website, OSCRE International 's servers send a cookie to your computer or device. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to OSCRE, either by opening an account or filling out a Web form (such as a “Register Now”) or have previously identified yourself to OSCRE, you remain anonymous to us.

OSCRE uses cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your browser or turn off your computer. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our Websites or Services. 

The following sets out how OSCRE International .com uses different categories of cookies and your options for managing cookies’ settings:

OSCRE uses the following cookies:

Any other cookies generated by www.OSCRE International .com and not present in this table are functional or targeting cookies.

Third party cookies

OSCRE uses services offered by Google and Google Analytics to collect, aggregate, and analyze data in order to better understand how the site is used. OSCRE uses these cookies to collect anonymous and aggregated data for a limited time. The data is used, for example, to monitor and analyze site use, improve its functions, and more accurately choose content and graphic design, in order to meet visitors' expectations.

Web Beacons
OSCRE International uses Web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about Members and Visitors’ usage of OSCRE International’s Websites and interaction with emails from OSCRE International. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular Website or Service tied to the Web beacon, and a description of a Website or Service tied to the Web beacon. For example, OSCRE may place Web beacons in marketing emails that notify OSCRE International when you click on a link in the email that directs you to one of OSCRE International’s Websites. OSCRE uses Web beacons to operate and improve OSCRE International’s Websites, Services, and email communications.

Log Files, IP Addresses, URLs, and Other Data
As is true of most Websites, we gather certain information automatically to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer our Websites and Services.  This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), device and application identification numbers, your location, your browser type, your Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages, and files you viewed, your searches, your operating system and system configuration information, and date/time stamps associated with your usage. Due to Internet communications standards, when you visit or use OSCRE International’s Websites and Services, we automatically receive the URL of the website from which you came and the website to which you go when you leave our Website. This information is used to analyze overall trends, to help us improve our Websites and Services, to track and aggregate non-personal information, and to provide the Websites and Services. For example, OSCRE uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which Members and Visitors navigate OSCRE International’s Websites. OSCRE also collects IP addresses from Members when they log into the Services as part of OSCRE International’s “Identity Confirmation” and “IP Range Restrictions” security features.

Social Media Features and Single Sign-on
OSCRE International’s Websites may use social media features, such as the “LinkedIn” button (“Social Media Features”). These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on OSCRE International’s Website and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. You may be given the option by such Social Media Features to post information about your activities on OSCRE International’s Website to a profile page of yours that is provided by a third party social media network in order to share with others within your network. Social Media Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on OSCRE International’s Website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of OSCRE International providing the relevant Social Media Features. OSCRE also allows you to log in to certain of our Websites and Services using sign-in services such as LinkedIn. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign-up form.

Do Not Track
Currently, various browsers — including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Websites’ visited by the user about the user's browser DNT preference setting. OSCRE does not currently commit to responding to browsers' DNT signals with respect to OSCRE International's Websites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. OSCRE International takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

5. Public forums, refer a contact, and Member testimonials

OSCRE International may provide bulletin boards, blogs, or chat rooms on OSCRE International’s Websites. Any personal information you choose to submit in such a forum may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these forums, and may be used to send you unsolicited messages. OSCRE is not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these forums.

OSCRE International posts a list of Members and testimonials on OSCRE International’s Websites that contain information such as Member names and titles. OSCRE obtains the consent of each Member prior to posting any information on such a list or posting testimonials.

OSCRE International does not share any additional information with third parties without prior written consent (unless it is Compelled Disclosure).

Billing

OSCRE International uses a third-party service provider to manage credit card processing. This service provider is not permitted to store, retain, or use Billing Information except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on OSCRE International’s behalf.

Compelled Disclosure
OSCRE International reserves the right to use or disclose information provided if required by law or if OSCRE International reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to protect OSCRE International’s rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

You may request to review, correct, delete, or otherwise modify any of the personal information that you have previously provided to us through OSCRE International’s Websites and Services.  If you have registered for an account with OSCRE, you may generally update your user settings, profile, organization’s settings, or event registration by logging into the applicable Website or Service with your username and password and editing your settings or profile.

OSCRE International 's Members may electronically submit data or information to the Services for hosting and processing purposes (“Member Data”). OSCRE will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such Member Data except as provided in the Agreement between OSCRE and Member, or as may be required by law. The Agreement between OSCRE and Member may include but is not limited to the Subscription Agreement, Hosting Agreement, Master Agreement, Implementation Agreement, End User License Agreement, Ongoing Services Agreement, and a Work Order. In accordance with the Agreement between OSCRE and Member, OSCRE International may access Member Data only for the purpose of providing the Services or preventing or addressing service or technical problems or as may be required by law. Additional information about OSCRE International’s privacy and security practices with respect to Member Data is available in the Security and Architecture Documentation.

OSCRE International acknowledges that you have the right to access your personal information.  If personal information pertaining to you as an individual has been submitted to us by an OSCRE Member and you wish to exercise any rights you may have to access, correct, amend, or delete such data, please inquire with our Member directly. Because OSCRE personnel have limited ability to access data our Members submit to our Services, if you wish to make your request directly to OSCRE, please provide the name of the OSCRE Member who submitted your data to our Services.  We will refer your request to that Member and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable time frame.
