Vivid Learning Systems,
Inc. ("Vivid") takes your privacy seriously.
The following discloses the privacy practices for the
entire web site, our methods of enforcing strict security
measures for your privacy, and our practices regarding
this issue.
Personal
Information
Vivid asks for your name, e-mail address, and other
personal information when you register as a new student.
Vivid's goal in collecting personal information is to
provide you with the best customer service possible.
The primary purpose for the information we collect
from you is to register you in our database so you can
take courses, but also so we can contact you if a problem
ever arises with the web site. Vivid may disclose aggregated
user statistics (for example, 50% of students in a particular
course scored higher than 80%) in order to describe
our services to prospective partners, investors, and
other third parties. We use your contact information
to send you up to date information about new courses,
promotions, and new procedures to follow while on the
Vivid web site. Other than circumstances, where in good
faith we believe the law requires a disclosure of information;
we do not use your personal information for any other
purposes. Further, we do not provide or sell this information
to third parties, other than our business partners if
you have given us permission to do so.
Security
This web site has security measures in place to protect
the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information
under our control. Vivid uses industry-standard efforts
to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable
information.
You play a significant role in the security of your
personal information. A breach of your privacy can occur
if you reveal your username and password to others.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your passwords and/or any account information. Please
be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose
personal information online - for example on message
boards such as the Forum, through e-mail, etc. - that
information is subject to collection and use by others.
In short, if you post personal information online that
is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited
messages from other parties in return. Furthermore,
while we strive to protect your personal information,
Vivid cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Although unlikely, it is possible that Vivid may inadvertently
disclose your information in ways not contemplated by
this privacy statement or even in direct contravention
of it. Vivid will do its best to remedy such situations
once brought to our attention.
