PPSCLLC Online Privacy Statement
PPSCLLC believes that the responsible use of personal information
collected on its Web sites is critical to its business objectives
and reputation. As part of our commitment to privacy, we have adopted
this Online Privacy Statement. The extent and type of information
we receive from you on our external Web sites depends on the information
you provide to us through our contact mailboxes and/or through the
registration processes on our sites.
We only use your personally identifiable information to respond to
your requests and to provide you with information about PPSCLLC's
services, unless we obtain your permission to use your personal information
for other purposes. For example, if you send us an e-mail message
requesting information about PPSCLLC, we will use your e-mail address
and other information you supply to respond to your request. If we
intend to use your personal information to inform you about other
PPSCLLC services, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to
decline to receive such communications. If you send us a resume or
curriculum vitae (CV) to apply online for a position with PPSCLLC,
we will use the information provided to match you with available opportunities.
Some of our Web sites may invite you to register and provide information
about yourself. We use the information you provide to personalize
your online experience and to deliver the content most suited to your
needs. Such Web sites also provide an opportunity for you to update
your registration information should you no longer wish to receive
information from us.
In addition, "cookies" (i.e. small text files placed on
your computer when you first visit the site) are used on some of our
Web sites. Most browsers now recognize when a cookie is offered and
permit you to refuse or accept it. If you are not sure whether your
browser has this capability, you should check with the software manufacturer,
your company's technology help desk or your Internet service provider.
Cookies are primarily used to enhance your online experience and are
not used to track the navigational habits of identified visitors,
unless we obtain your permission to do so. If you visit our sites
to read or download information, such as news stories or articles,
much of the information we do collect is statistical only (e.g., the
domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access
our site, and the Internet address of the Web site from which you
linked directly to our site) and not personally identifiable. We use
this information about the number of visitors and their use of the
sites in aggregate form to make our sites more useful and attractive
to you.
The personal information you provide to us will be retained only for
as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information
was collected or as required by law. We do not share personal information
with third parties except as necessary to carry out our business or
as required by law or other legal processes, and we never sell your
personal information. Furthermore, personal data collected by PPSCLLC
may be transferred to other member firms of PPSCLLC International
where it is necessary to meet the purpose for which you have submitted
the information. By submitting data through PPSCLLC electronically,
you are providing explicit consent to trans-border transmission of
data collected via PPSCLLC's Web sites.
In addition, PPSCLLC has technological and operational security policies
and procedures in place to protect your personally identifiable information
from loss, misuse, alteration or unintentional destruction. Our personnel
who have access to the data have been trained to maintain the confidentiality
of such information.
PPSCLLC understands the importance of protecting children's privacy,
especially in an online environment. Our sites are not intentionally
designed for or directed at children under the age of 13 years. It
is our policy never to knowingly collect or maintain information about
anyone under the age of 13.
PPSCLLC recognizes its responsibility for protecting the online privacy
of your personal information. If you have questions or comments about
our administration of your personal information, please contact us
