PBS&J is committed
to your right to privacy and will make every effort to keep your personal
information private. However, because our Web Site includes areas where
the User can provide personally identifying information, we have developed
the Privacy Policy below. The Policy will inform you of our practices
and procedures regarding information that we may collect about you on
this Site. If you have further questions about these practices and procedures
after reading this Privacy Policy, please contact us.
This Privacy Policy governs all URL's hosted under the www.pbsj.com domain.
PBS&J professionals control the information about you described in
this document.
1. Information
that we collect about you
PBS&J designs
web sites that may collect and maintain certain personal information about
you when you send us email or complete any of our online forms such as
Feedback or Contact Us. This personal information can identify you and
your business individually, and may include items such as your name and
email address, job title, company name and address, phone number, web
site address and contact details of the Web Site Administrator.
PBS&J also collects,
or logs, certain other information that cannot personally identify you
when you visit our Web Site. This information includes your Internet Protocol
("IP") address and your domain name. Your IP address is the
number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the ISP computer
through which you access the Web and your domain name is the name of the
ISP computer itself through which you access the Web.
PBS&J logs these
IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for system administration
and to monitor the use of our site. We use the aggregated information
to measure the number of visits to our site, the average time spent on
our site, the number of pages viewed, and various other site use statistics.
This monitoring helps us to evaluate how our Web Site is used and to continuously
improve the content we provide. While we may report aggregated IP address
information to the Client who is paying for the Web Site hosting service,
PBS&J does not link IP addresses or domain names with any personal
information that can be used to identify the User. This means that a visitor's
session will be logged on our servers, but the visitor will always remain
anonymous.
PBS&J does not
purchase or otherwise obtain any supplemental personal information about
you from any third parties.
2. Ways we collect
information about you
When you visit our
Web Site, certain technical information (IP address and domain name) is
automatically collected. We cannot use this technical information to identify
you personally.
We also collect personal and company information that you provide to us
via the Feedback Form, Contact Us form or other similar questionnaires.
If you have requested
that we contact you regarding updated content for a specific web site,
we may send you, via e-mail or post, our bi-weekly newsletter as well
as other information impacting online customer relationships that we think
you might find useful. If you do not wish to receive these communications
please contact the webmaster for the designated site to request that we
remove you from our mailing list. Alternatively, you may contact our corporate
web master at webmaster@pbsjis.com
We do not collect any information from you online other than the personal
information described above. PBS&J does not use cookies to collect
information about you for any reason.
3. Ways we use
information about you
Any information you
provide us will be used to contact you in response to any requests, complaints,
or comments you may have about the Project or Web Site. If you have used
our Contact Us form and have elected to join a mailing list, we may also
use the information you have provided therein to contact you in the future
regarding the Project or Web Site.
4. What information
about you will be shared
Under certain circumstances,
personal information that you have provided to us may be shared with the
Client paying for the Web Site hosting. PBS&J does not collect or
compile personal information for distribution to parties outside of PBS&J.
Except as described below, PBS&J does not share any information about
you with any parties outside of PBS&J.
If you send us email
or use our Contact Us form to send us a request, complaint, or comment
relating to any Web Site hosted under this domain, we may forward your
request, complaint, or comment to the appropriate Web Site.
We will disclose personal
information to comply with valid legal processes such as a search warrant,
subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights and property. We will
disclose information when we believe in good faith that the law requires
it.
5. Implications
of collecting and sharing information about you
If you send us email
or use our Contact Us form, we will send you an online acknowledgement
that we have received your contact. If, when you complete our Contact
Us form, you elect to join a mailing list, you may also receive other
contact from us regarding other topics we feel may be of interest to you.
As previously mentioned above, under certain circumstances PBS&J may
share personal information you provide us, such as your email address,
job title or company name and address, with other service lines within
PBS&J or the client paying for the web site hosting. These service
lines may contact you, via email or post, to provide you information about
their services and products that you may find useful.
Other than just mentioned, you will not receive any contact from third
parties outside of PBS&J as a result of providing information to us,
with the possible exception of contact from a web site to which we have
forwarded a request, complaint, or comment that you have sent to us.
6. What you can
do to control information collected about you
When you submit an
inquiry, request, complaint, or comment to PBS&J you may have the
opportunity to join a mailing list. If at a later time you wish to change
your participation in our mailing list, please contact the webmaster for
the designated site to send your request and our staff will make the appropriate
change for you. Alternatively, you may contact our corporate web master
at webmaster@pbsjis.com. You will receive confirmation that we have received
your communication.
If you would like to update information previously submitted to PBS&J
or request to have outdated information removed, please send your request
through our Web site using the appropriate contact forms or email request
options as these may vary from site to site.
