WELCOME
Welcome to www.companyweek.com. This site (“Site”) is owned and operated by CompanyWeek, a Colorado corporation, ("CompanyWeek", “we”, “us” or “our”) and is operated by and on behalf of CompanyWeek. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use and disclosure of information that we may collect from and about you. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this Site.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this Site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this Site, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, which are incorporated herein by reference, and any specific provisions of this Site that may be presented at the time information is collected. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, do not use this Site or provide any information.
ABOUT CHILDREN
The Site is a general audience site. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen on the Site. If in the future, we collect personally identifiable information from children, we will do so in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.). The Internet offers children wonderful educational and entertainment resources. Your guidance and involvement are essential to help ensure that children have a safe and rewarding online experience. We encourage you to visit the Direct Marketing Association’s Web site (www.the-dma.org) and explore the Get CyberSavvy! Program as well as the GetNetWise Web site (www.getnetwise.org) to learn more about parental control tools
ACTIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION
Like many Web sites, this Site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking them specific questions and by permitting them to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forums, chat rooms, blogs and so forth. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number and so on).
Some areas of this Site may require you to submit information in order for you to benefit from the specified features or activities (such as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing, business opportunities, facilitating business to business networking, information on manufacturers and their products, information on business services and so forth). You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional.
PASSIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION
As you navigate through this Site and/or receive emails in connection with this Site, certain information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, including, without limitation, those described below:
COOKIES
As with many websites, this Site uses standard technology called “cookies,” which are small data files that are transferred to your computer when you allow your browser to accept cookies. Cookies automatically identify your Web browser to the Site whenever you visit the Site, and make your using the Site easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, tracking business preferences, product and services preferences and so forth. By tracking how and when you use the Site, cookies help us determine which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Site are based on data obtained from cookies.
Accepting cookies allows you, among other things, to personalize your experience on the Site. Cookies may also allow the Site to present to you information which may be of interest to you. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you generally can opt out of providing this information by turning the cookies off in your browser; however, some areas of the Site may not provide you with a personalized experience if you have disabled the use of cookies.
IP ADDRESSES AND AUTOMATIC INFORMATION
We may collect IP addresses and/or automatic information for purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers and sponsors. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. Our computers identify your computer by its IP address. When you request web pages from the Site, our computers log your IP address.
Automatic information is information collected by our computers when you request web pages from the Site. Automatic information may include such information as the page served, the time, the source of the request, the type of browser making the request, the preceding page view and other such information. When analyzed, this data helps us analyze how visitors arrive at the Site, what type of content is most popular, what type of visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of content and advertising, business interest, networking potential, information capture and areas of interest for tracking purposes, business preferences, networking preferences, activity preferences or the like.
INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES
From time to time we, and/or our operational partners may receive information about you from other sources and add it to the data previously collected about you.

If you provide personally identifiable information to this Site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless specified otherwise at the point of collection on this Site. We may combine personally identifiable information with passively collected information.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information:
i. to third parties located in Rocky Mountain region, the United States and/or any other country;

THIRD-PARTY AD SERVING & AUDIENCE AND TRAFFIC MEASUREMENT SERVICES
The Site may use third- party network advertisers to serve the advertisements on the Site or may use a traffic measurement service to analyze the traffic on the Site. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to this Site and other web sites you have visited. Third-party advertisement servers enable us to target advertisements to you for products or web sites in which you might be interested. Although advertisers or other companies do not have access to the Site cookies, the Site’s advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their own cookies on your computer if you choose to have your cookies enabled in your browser. Cookies allow third- party advertisers to show you advertisements or content in which you might be interested. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. We assume no liability or responsibility for such other companies.

SECURITY
We will take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to our Site and to protect such information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from this Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, usernames, ID numbers or other special access features on this Site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them and we assume no liability or responsibility therefor.

You should be aware that when you are on this Site, you could be directed to other sites beyond our control. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement, the "click" may take you off the Site onto a different web site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use the Site’s logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other web sites may send their own cookies to you, independently collect data or solicit personal information and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. If you visit a web site that is linked to our Site, you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information. Please note that CompanyWeek is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices of third parties.
