(“ETAP”) recognizes the importance of protecting the information collected from users through both normal business practices and the operation of this website; and takes reasonable steps to maintain the security, integrity and privacy of any information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We will only process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
By submitting your information to ETAP you consent to the practices described herein.
This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by full-time and part-time employees, when acting on behalf of ETAP, contractors and partners doing business on behalf of ETAP, as well as all legal entities, all operating locations in all countries, and all business processes conducted by ETAP.
ETAP collects the following personal data in line with the use purposes explained in a subsequent section:
Many of the tools and information available on this website do not require you to provide personal information. To take advantage of certain features, we may ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address, telephone number, job title or industry, in order to transact business and respond to your inquiry. We may also collect demographic information. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a paid training or course, we will ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address. In all cases, your decision to provide us with personal information is voluntary, and such information will only be used to help transact your business or respond to your questions.
We may collect information about your interaction with our website and services. For example, we may use website analytics tools to retrieve information from your browser, including the website you came from, the search engine(s) and the keywords used to find our website, the pages viewed within our wesite, your browser add-ons, and your browser’s screen size. We may also use technologies, such as cookies and Web beacons (described below), to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on our website. Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses.
This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal information you may have provided to protect your privacy. The data is used for statistical purposes in order to improve our website and services.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mails from ETAP, we may use Web beacons, customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click on, in order to provide you with more focused e-mail communications or other information.
We will use your personal data and may share your personal data with other parties acting on our behalf, for one or more of the following purposes:
In all cases, your decision to provide us with personal information is voluntary, and such information will only be used to help transact your business or respond to your questions. From time to time we might exchange, share and/or cross-reference information, including contact information about you with our affiliates that will enable them to contact you regarding any products and services that may be of interest to you.
ETAP and its affiliated companies do not sell or disclose any personal information obtained from our website visitors without their consent to any unaffiliated third party for purposes unrelated to servicing their requests, unless required to do so by law or other regulatory authority.
Your personal information will be retained for as long as it is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this privacy policy (unless longer retention is required by the applicable law). However, we will not retain any of your personal information beyond this period and the retention of your personal information will be subject to periodic review. We may keep an anonymized form of your personal information, which will no longer refer to you, for statistical purposes without time limits, to the extent that we have a legitimate and lawful interest in doing so.
Many visitors to our website wish to remain apprised of new products and services and opportunities. In that case, you may request to receive e-mail messages from us by so indicating and providing your contact information.
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from ETAP sites and services by following the instructions in the e-mail you receive or by contacting us at the address below.
ETAP does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and does not target its website to children under the age of 13. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.
Our website may contain links to websites operated and maintained by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on such linked sites may be different from our privacy policy. You access such linked sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a linked site before disclosing any personal information on such sites.
In order to improve our products and services and website and provide more convenient, relevant experiences to our customers, we may use "cookies," "web beacons," and similar devices to track your activities. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. A web beacon is a small transparent gif image that is embedded in an HTML page or email used to track when the page or email has been viewed. We may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. This device is similar to a cookie in that it tracks your visit and the data can only be read by the server that receives the data. It is different than a cookie in that it is not browser-based, may not function as an identification card, and does not store any data on your computer.
Since features exist on this website that enable or will enable visitors to receive services and/or register for events online using their credit/debit card, the financial information collected by ETAP during these transactions is used solely by ETAP or ETAP’s vendors who collect this information for ETAP. This information is not stored on our etap.com or shared with outside parties except for the purposes of finalizing the transaction.
We take precautions to protect the security of your contact information that you share with us. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our websites, and you do so at your own risk.
By giving us information or allowing it to be collected, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not make any claims against, and that ETAP, and its affiliated companies, will not be held liable for, any claims, losses or damages which may result, directly or indirectly, from collection of that information, including from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure and loss or corruption by computer viruses and other sources of harm to the information we collect.
