Privacy Policy
Canada Eurasia Russia Business Association (CERBA),
knows it is important to protect your personal information. This
Privacy Policy explains our guidelines for how personal information is
collected and used by CERBA.
What is Personal and Non-Personal Information?
Personal
information consists of names, addresses, home phone numbers and e-mail
addresses. Non-personal information is information that doesn't
identify you as an individual. Your occupation or department are
examples of non-personal information. CERBA uses personal information
and non-personal information.
Why does the CERBA Need Personal Information?
CERBA
uses personal information to verify your membership, communicate with
you about the activities of CERBA, and tell you about benefits
available to you as a member. Where required, information will be
shared with third parties such as partners. It may also be used
internally by CERBA for statistical purposes.
How Does CERBA Protect My Information?
Keeping
your personal information secure is a high priority for CERBA. CERBA
maintains appropriate safeguards and current security standards to
protect your personal information, whether recorded on paper or stored
electronically, against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.
Although CERBA does not take responsibility for any theft, misuse,
unauthorized disclosure, loss, alteration or destruction of data by an
outside third party, CERBA takes reasonable precautions to prevent such
events. We use industry-standard encryption technologies when
transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site. When
we receive a request to process a transaction that contains sensitive
information such as credit card information, we redirect visitors to a
secure third party server. We have appropriate security measures in
place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or
alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.
Can I Verify My Information?
Yes.
CERBA can provide you with access to modify your personal information
online. For details on updating your information, see the section on
Updates: Information collected via the web, phone fax or email, below.

The Web site: Information CERBA Collects Automatically
Like
many websites, CERBA’s website automatically collects some non-personal
information about website users, that does not identify the user.
Information collected can include the Internet Protocol (IP) address of
your computer, the IP address of your Internet Service Provider, the
date and time you accessed the website, the Internet address of the
website from which you linked directly to the website, the operating
system you are using, the sections of the website you visit, the pages
on the website which you looked at, and information you downloaded from
the website. This non-personal information is used for website and
system administration purposes and to improve our website. The CERBA
website uses cookies to record session information, such as items that
consumers add to their shopping cart.
Links to Other Web Sites
Our website
may contain "links" to other websites or Internet resources. If you use
a "link", you are contacting another website or Internet resource.
CERBA is not responsible or liable for other websites or Internet
resources, including any collection, use and disclosure these sites
make of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy
policies of those other sites to learn how they collect your
information.
How does CERBA Use Personal Information?
Updates, Newsletters and Contact Database.
CERBA
prepares updates and newsletters, which are sent to all members and
contacts in our database by e-mail and regular mail. If CERBA uses an
outside company to print and/or mail the literature, information such
as your address is given to the outside company. It is used to provide
this service only. Once the service is provided, the information is
destroyed. CERBA members also have the ability to search our entire
database for contact information.
The information that is available to them is limited
only to the contents of your business card. This service provides
members with information which is used to search for potential business
contacts. This same information is also available to all participants
of various CERBA events.
Participate in a Survey
Sometimes
CERBA may conduct surveys. These may be done by telephone, by mail or
electronically. If you participate, you may be asked to provide
personal information as well as additional optional survey information
(for example, employment related questions). Information from the
survey will be used to create a summary. The summary will not identify
you, and is used strictly for analysis. CERBA will not share any
personal information collected during this process.
Legal Disclosure
CERBA will disclose
your information if you consent, or if it is required by law, for
example, to comply with a subpoena or warrant, or an order made by a
court, person or entity with jurisdiction to compel the production of
information.
Will This Privacy Policy Change?
This
policy may change to accommodate changes in our service, technology and
legal developments. CERBA may add, change, or remove portions of this
Policy if appropriate. Whenever we update this policy, we will change
the date on the Policy (and on this page) to indicate when the changes
were made.
