Techknow
Privacy Policy
A. Our
Pledge to You
1. Your
personal information (and your customer information) will be kept strictly
confidential. It is never sold, given away, or shared with anyone, unless
we're required to by law.
2. We do
not send promotional messages to you unless you explicitly request to
receive them.
3. Nobody
is automatically subscribed to any general marketing emails. We believe
that people should only receive emails if they opted in for them. If
you subscribe to any Techknow marketing, we always provide a link to
unsubscribe from our list.
4. In order
to access restricted information, graphics and software, you must first
complete the registration form and create a user name and password.
During registration you are required to give contact information (such
as name and email address). We use this information to send you a confirmation
link, which is used to activate your account.
B. Promotional
Emails That We Send
We do not
send promotional emails unless you have requested them.
1. From
time to time, we send a "Techknow TechNews" email newsletter
to registered users who affirmatively select the "opt-in"
checkbox in their registration form for "Yes, send me Techknow
TechNews." We do not automatically send this newsletter to all
users. If you opt-in, then later change your mind, you may opt-out by
clicking the "unsubscribe" link that we include in every newsletter.
C. Personally
Identifiable Information, and Our Use of Cookies
1. We do
not share your personally identifiable information with any third parties.
2. When
you visit our website, we don't collect any personally identifiable
information about you.
3. The
cookies that we place do not personally identify visitors on our website,
unless the visitor is a registered user.
4. We temporarily
store session information, so that registered users do not have to login
every time that they visit the site.
5. We place
temporary cookies on web pages so that we can see how visitors use our
website, but they do not personally identify users (we use this information
to improve our website experience).
6. We do
not partner with or have any special relationships with any ad server
companies.
7. When
we send emails to our own registered Techknow customers, we'll sometimes
track who opened and who clicked. We do this to measure the performance
of our email campaigns, and to improve our offerings to our customers.
8. Techknow
customers: if your personally identifiable information changes, or if
you no longer desire our service, you may update your account by contacting
us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information posted on
this page.
9. We reserve
the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required
by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our
rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal
process served on our Web site.
10. If
we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to
this privacy statement, the homepage and other places we deem appropriate
so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the
right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review
it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify
you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our homepage.
D. Safeguarding
Your Information
1. Due
to the sensitive nature of your information, we do not re-send forgotten
passwords. Users must follow online instructions to reset their passwords
if they forget them.
2. Account

passwords. We can only reset them.

not knowingly provide accounts, or market to, or solicit information
