OpusEdge Inc. Privacy Policy
October 1, 2004

At OpusEdge Inc., we recognize that privacy is an important issue, so we design and operate our services with the protection of your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we gather, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it.

The following principles apply to the personally identifying information we ask for and that you provide. "Personally identifying information" is information that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email address.

Data collection

• OpusEdge collects limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit our website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to operate, develop and improve our web site and its navigation.
• Some of our services require you to register for an account. We ask you for some personal information in order to create an account (typically your name, email address and a password for your account) and we will use that information to provide the service. For certain services, such as course registration, we may request credit card or other payment information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers.
• When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types of information we collect and how we use it.

Cookies

• Upon your first visit to the OpusEdge website, a cookie is sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service and to better understand how people interact with us. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. The public pages of the OpusEdge website will function with cookies being refused, but online course registration and special services may not function correctly.

Information sharing

• We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals, unless:
  • We have your consent.
  • We provide such information to trusted businesses (for example, a bank processing a credit card payment) or persons for the sole purpose of processing personally identifying information on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and applying appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
  • We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of OpusEdge, its customers or the public.
• If you have an account, we may share the information submitted under your account among all of our services in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services. We will not disclose your account information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy or with your consent.
• In the event of a transfer of ownership of OpusEdge Inc., such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• We may share aggregated information with others. An example of this include the number of users who have enrolled in a given course.

Information security

• We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.
• We restrict access to your personally identifying information to employees who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.

Updating your information

• We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally identifying information for many of our services. Links to these update services are provided at the time of enrolment.

Changes to this Policy

Please note this Privacy Policy will change from time to time. We expect most such changes to be minor, but there may be changes that are more significant. Regardless, we will post those changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will also provide a more prominent notice. Each version will be noted at the top of the page. Prior versions of this Privacy Policy will be kept in an archive for you to view.
