The MIND Research Institute has created this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to the privacy of our customers and online visitors. The following statement explains our information-gathering and dissemination practices for the The MIND Research Institute web site at www.mindinstitute.net (the "Site"). This policy may change periodically, but any changes will be posted on the Site. Please refer to the The MIND Research Institute Privacy Policy periodically when visiting, browsing, or using any portion of the Site. Your continued use of any portion of the Site after the effective date of any changes to the Privacy Policy constitutes your agreement to the changed terms. Rest assured, however, that any changes will not be retroactively applied and will not alter how we handle previously collected information.
What Personal Information does The MIND Research Institute collect from me?
The information gathered by The MIND Research Institute falls into three categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by you through optional online forms completed by you when requesting additional information about The Mind Institute or its products or services, or through your Communications (as defined below) with The MIND Research Institute; (2) information obtained from the use of your user name and password to access the restricted portion(s) of the Site (the "Restricted Web Pages") to do things such as view online demonstrations or presentations about The MIND Research Institute or its products or services; and (3) tracking information gathered as you navigate through our Site.
The MIND Research Institute provides you with an opportunity to contact our employees via e-mail, conventional mail, or any other method, with questions or comments you may have about our Site, products and services, personnel, employment opportunities, or any other matter of interest to you ("Communications"). These Communications may also include e-mail attachments or any materials that you would like to send us. Any Communications and materials attached thereto that you provide to The MIND Research Institute will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary, and will become the property of The MIND Research Institute. Please see our Terms of Use Agreement for additional information on how your Communications are treated.
In visiting or using our Site and in transmitting Communications with us, you may be asked for, and we may collect, personally identifiable information (including, but not limited to, your legal name, business name, e-mail address, home or business address, phone number(s), or user name and password), the name of the product or service about which you are inquiring, and the purpose of or reason for your inquiry. The MIND Research Institute reserves the right to request any additional information. The MIND Research Institute may also ask for additional personal information at various times such as when we run a promotion or contest or conduct a survey. All the information we collect helps us to offer you more personalized features, respond to any of your requests, provide you with information that is of most interest to you, improve our products and services, and send you promotions and events offered by The MIND Research Institute or our business partners or affiliates.
Does The MIND Research Institute track my IP address?
When you visit the Site, our web servers automatically collect information about your Internet address (which is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data). Your Internet address does not identify you personally. We log your Internet address to deliver our web pages to you upon request, help diagnose problems with our server, administer our Site in order to constantly improve its quality and the services we offer you, and identify you and your preferences as you navigate the Site. We may also use your Internet address to gather broad demographic information. We may also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and users and provide such information to third parties.
How does The MIND Research Institute use information collected from me?
The MIND Research Institute researches our customers' and visitors' demographics based upon information provided by them, gathered from their Communications or password, or contained in our server log files or surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our customers and visitors. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis.
Any Communications or materials attached thereto that you provide to The MIND Research Institute may be used, reproduced, displayed, performed, modified, transmitted, or distributed by The MIND Research Institute. Please note that if you communicate with The MIND Research Institute, we are free to use any ideas, concepts, designs, images, graphics, know-how, or techniques you send to The Mind Institute for any purpose. Please see our Terms of Use Agreement for more information on the use of your Communications.
The MIND Research Institute, however, does not provide, sell, trade, or rent your personally identifiable information (even if gathered from your Communications) outside of The MIND Research Institute without your consent, unless The MIND Research Institute is required to do so by a governmental agency, court of law, regulation, or civil service process. The MIND Research Institute also reserves the right to use or disclose any information as needed to fulfill your requests or to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a matter of public safety.
How do I correct and/or update my personal information?
You may update and/or correct your contact or other personal information at any time by sending an e-mail to our webmaster and notifying The MIND Research Institute of the changes. If you have been prompted to provide information to register an account, you will be provided limited access to your account information to update and/or correct the personal information you have supplied.
How does The MIND Research Institute protect my personal information?
Our Site has security measures in place to minimize the risk of loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Your access to the Restricted Web Pages or other accounts (if you have any) established through The MIND Research Institute or the Site is password-protected so that only you have access to that personal information, so keep your password private and secure.
What are "cookies," and does The MIND Research Institute use them?
"Cookies" are pieces of information that a web site transfers to your computer's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Like many sites on the Internet, we use cookies to identify you when you visit the Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can set your computer to not accept cookies. If you do this, however, you may not be able to use some of the features or services we offer on our Site.
Will The MIND Research Institute send me unsolicited communications?
