Collection of your Personal Information

When you provide personally identifiable information through our Website, mobile app or blogs (collectively, the “Website”), iDEA collects certain personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. iDEA also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also non-personally identifiable information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by iDEA. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Website addresses. This information is used by iDEA for the operation of our Website, i.e., to maintain quality of the Website, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through any features of the Website that are publicly viewable, this information may be collected and used by others. iDEA encourages you to review the privacy policies of websites you choose to link to or navigate from iDEA  so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. iDEA is not responsible for the privacy policies or other content on websites outside of the Website.

Use of your Personal Information

iDEA collects and uses your personal information to operate the Website and to communicate with you. iDEA also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you, as permitted by law, of our services and of topics that we believe may be of interest to you. iDEA may also contact you to advise you of upcoming events and programs that may be of interest to you.  We also use your personal information and non-personal information to improve the content, operation, appearance and utility of the Website; troubleshoot technical issues; gather demographic data and accomplish other administrative tasks.

iDEA does not sell, rent or lease personal information collected via the Website to third parties. iDEA may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide Website support, or arrange for follow-up contact as requested by you. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to iDEA, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

iDEA may disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on iDEA or the Website; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of iDEA;  (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Website, or the public; (d) as permitted by law, with any person or entity that may acquire all or any part of our business or assets, or in connection with any change in control of us; (e) where needed to prevent fraud and to protect the safety, property, or legal rights of users of our Website. We may also disclose your information to manage and protect our information technology infrastructure and security.  We may also disclose your information for any other purpose with your consent.

We may share non-personal information at any time for any purpose.

Security of your Personal Information

You should note that the security of your personal information also depends on you.  Please do not communicate any information to us through unsecured channels, such as when you are in public areas.
