    When you use the Site, you may provide us with Personal Information you knowingly choose to disclose. 

    By using the Site, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

    Use of Personal Information Obtained by CPRC

    CPRC will use your Personal Information (including your name and email address) to inform you of offers and services we think would be enjoyable or valuable to you.  You may opt out of such emails, but CPRC reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

    CPRC may also use your Personal Information to provide information or services to you, to answer your questions and to communicate with you about CPRC’s services or the Site.

    Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

    In all situations discussed in this section in which CPRC may disclose your Personal Information to third parties, CPRC may do so by selling your Personal Information, renting your Personal Information or otherwise exchanging your Personal Information for value and consideration. 

    CPRC may disclose your Personal Information to third parties. One purpose for doing so is to personalize advertisements and promotions of CPRC or third-party partners of CPRC.

    CPRC may disclose your Personal Information to third-party partners, organizations, and other business associates to be used in their outreach and promotional efforts.

    CPRC may provide your Personal Information to third-party marketers and service providers. CPRC does this when we believe such sharing is reasonably necessary to offer CPRC’s services; legally required; or permitted by you. Specifically, CPRC may use third parties to facilitate its business, including hosting the Site at a co-location facility, sending email updates about the Site or to process payments for products or services. In these instances, our third-party service providers may have access to your Personal Information. When CPRC provides your Personal Information to third-party service providers, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that Information for the specified purposes.

    CPRC may supply your Personal Information to data aggregators and marketers for the purpose of sending email or otherwise communicating with you.

    CPRC may be required to disclose Personal Information to a third party in response to lawful requests (such as subpoenas or court orders) or in compliance with laws or regulations. Additionally, CPRC may share your Personal Information with a third party when CPRC believes it is necessary to comply with law, to protect CPRC’s property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, law enforcement officials and other government agencies.

    CPRC may provide services jointly with other companies on the Site. CPRC may share your Personal Information with such companies in connection with the services.

    If the ownership of CPRC or all or substantially all of CPRC’s business changes hands (by sale, merger or otherwise), your Personal Information may be transferred to the third-party acquirer 

    In the event CPRC becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, CPRC, or our trustee in bankruptcy, may sell, license or otherwise dispose of your Personal Information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court.

By checking such boxes or leaving a box checked, you are choosing to receive commercial communications from CPRC and third-party partners of CPRC, and you will be consenting to CPRC providing your Personal Information to those third parties, and you may receive information and offers from CPRC and third-party partners of CPRC by e-mail, U.S. mail or other means. 

    You may opt out of receiving future commercial communications from CPRC or third parties either (i) by following the instructions located at the bottom of an e-mail, (ii) by sending a request to us by email to get cprcertified com. Please note that opting out using these means will not affect your previous consent to receive communications from CPRC’s third-party partners or to have your Personal Information disclosed to a third party for the purpose of displaying your Personal Information on their websites. 

    CPRC cannot control the actions of its third-party partners, which operate independently of CPRC. 

    Links

    The Site may contain links to other websites. CPRC is not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites, including those linked-to from the Site. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Site to read the privacy statements of any linked websites that you visit.

    Some of the third-party websites accessible via links on the Site may request Personal Information.  When you provide Personal Information to/on such third-party websites, the operators of the third-party websites may provide such Personal Information to CPRC. This Privacy Policy will govern how CPRC treats Personal Information acquired by CPRC in this way.  However, to be clear, this Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected/acquired by CPRC. CPRC cannot guarantee or control how the operators of third-party websites will use Personal Information that you provide to them or on their sites.

    All uses and disclosures of your Personal Information discussed in this Privacy Policy will continue unless and until you access your user account page on the Site and: (i) modify the Information (in which case, the modified Information will be used and disclosed); (ii) delete the Information (in which case the remaining Information will continue to be used and disclosed); or (iii) terminate your status as a Member on the Site, which you can do on your user account page on the Site (in which case, CPRC will promptly discontinue the use and disclosure of your Personal Information).

    Deleted Personal Information may remain in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available on the Site.

CPRC’s server logs provide us with information such as what pages are being visited most, what domains our visitors are coming from, when our Site is busiest, and what websites are referring users to us. This information helps us to improve our services and to evaluate our marketing efforts. We typically use such data anonymously and aggregately, and this information may be shared with third parties in the aggregate.

    Third Party Advertising

    Advertisements that appear on the Site are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. Such advertisers may automatically receive your IP address, and they may download cookies to your computer or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertisers to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. CPRC does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed on the Site by the third-party advertisers. Third-party advertisers have no access to your Personal Information unless you choose to share it with them. Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

    Security

    CPRC takes appropriate precautions to protect your Personal Information. Your Personal Information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter certain sensitive information (such as credit card number or your password), we (or in the case of credit card information, our data-secure e-commerce partner) encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Please be aware that email is not recognized as a secure communication.  CPRC requests that you not send sensitive private information to us by email.

    CPRC is not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

    7.           Use of Personal Information
     
    It is critical that your Personal Information is accurate. If your Personal Information changes, Member agrees to promptly update Member’s Personal Information. It is Member’s responsibility to update all of your current Personal Information.

    Member will have the opportunity to select a Member ID and password. Member is solely responsible in all respects for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Member’s Member ID and Password. Member is solely responsible for the activity and Content that occurs under or is placed on the Site under the guise of Member’s Member ID. 

    IE may refuse to grant Member or require Member to change his/her Member ID or password if either impersonates someone else, is protected by trademark or other law, is vulgar or otherwise offensive, or for any other reason, at IE’s discretion.

    Member agrees to notify IE immediately of any unauthorized use of Member’s Personal Information, Member ID, password or other registration or user account information.

    IE reserves the right to offer third-party services and products to Members based on preferences that Members identify as part of registration and at other times. IE does not provide or make any representation or warranty as to the quality or nature of any of the third-party products or services made available through the Site or that are made available by a third-party.

    Member agrees that IE may provide Member with information and other materials regarding products, services, and other offers from time to time as described in the Privacy Policy. Such solicitations may take the form mailings, telephone calls, email messages or other forms.
    If Member wishes to opt out of receiving such solicitations, Member must email IE at get cprcertified com with Member’s request.

    8.           Performance of the Site

    Technical, maintenance and other issues may make the Site unavailable or inoperative from time to time. IE makes no commitment, warranty or guarantee that the Site will (i) operate in a timely, uninterrupted or error-free manner, or (ii) meet a Member’s particular purposes. IE may also, in its sole discretion, modify the features, availability, operation and/or look and feel of the Site from time to time without notice to Member.

    Because computers and other equipment are subject to occasional malfunction, Member agrees that Member will not hold IE responsible for any inadvertent damage to, corruption of or destruction of Content. 

    Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, IE cannot and does not confirm that each Member is who he or she claims to be. RS is not and will not be involved in Member-to-Member dealings or control the behavior of Members. If you have a dispute with a Member, you release IE (and IE’s officers, employees, agents and successors) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

    Changes are periodically made to the Site and may be made at any time, and the Site may contain typographical errors and inaccuracies. Member acknowledges and agrees that Member is solely responsible for Member’s reliance on information or content on the Site. 

    IE does not and cannot guarantee and does not and cannot promise any results from use of the Site. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a Member from IE or through or from the Site shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

    9.           IE’s Disclaimers of Warranties and Limitations on IE’s Liability

    IE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY THE SITE WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE SITE AND ITS SERVERS ARE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL MECHANISMS. IF YOUR USE OF THE SITE RESULTS IN THE NEED FOR SERVICING OR REPLACING EQUIPMENT OR DATA, IE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE COSTS. THE SITE AND ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY IE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. IE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IE MAKES NO WARRANTIES ABOUT THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS OF THE SITE OR IE’S SERVICES, SOFTWARE, TEXT, GRAPHICS, AND LINKS.

    IN NO EVENT WILL IE OR ITS AFFILIATES OR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR SHAREHOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF USER’S ACCESS TO, OR USE OF, THIS SITE OR THE CONTENT OR MATERIALS THEREIN (INCLUDING THE SITE TOOLS), WHETHER IN A CONTRACT ACTION OR BASED ON NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT ACTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY OR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF IE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT WILL IE’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, IN ACCESSING THIS SITE.

    The Site contains links to third party websites. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by IE of the content on such third-party websites. IE is not responsible for the content of linked third-party sites and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites.

    By using the Site to search for or link to third-party websites, Member understands and agrees that Member may not make any claim against IE for any damages or losses, whatsoever, resulting from Member’s use of the Site to obtain search results or to link to third-party websites.

    Some of the third-party websites accessible via the Site will request that you provide your Personal Information directly on the third-party websites (i.e., the Personal Information is not being provided to IE but, instead, to the owners of the third-party websites). 

    Member understands and agrees that IE is not responsible or liable for Member’s decision to provide Personal Information directly on third-party websites. Member understands and acknowledges that IE has no control over how third parties use or protect the Member’s Personal Information that Member himself/herself provides directly onto third-party websites. This is in contrast to Personal Information that IE provides to third parties, which is conduct covered by IE’s Privacy Policy.

    If Member is a California resident, Member waives California Civil Code d1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
     
    10.           Term of this Agreement

    This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you are a Member of the Site. IE reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate a Member’s registration with or a Member’s ability to access the Site upon any breach of this Agreement or if IE is unable to verify or authenticate any information a Member submits to the Site. Even after you are no longer a Member, certain provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.

    11.           Amendments and Updates to this Agreement

    IE may, in its sole discretion, change the terms in this Agreement from time to time. When the terms are changed, IE may (but is not obligated to) notify Members of the change(s) and make a posting on the Site regarding the change(s). Each Member agrees to review this Agreement from time to time. If a Member uses the Site after IE has posted a revised or updated version of this Agreement on the Site, Member agrees to be bound by all of the changes and hereby accepts any and all such revised versions of this Agreement.

    13.           Miscellaneous

    This Agreement cannot be amended except as specifically set forth in the Amendments section above. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted under this Agreement, may not be transferred or assigned by Member, but they may be assigned by IE without restriction. No rights provided by this Agreement are lost or diminished because of lack of use of such rights.
