Use of information collected

The company uses data about ELEVATE customers to perform the services requested. For example, if you fill out a “contact” webform, the company will use the information provided to contact you about your interest in the services.

Additional information on the company’s privacy practices with respect to data about ELEVATE attendees may be found in additional privacy statements on the event websites, as the case may be.

The Company may also use data about ELEVATE customers and attendees for marketing purposes. For example, the company may use information you provide to contact you to further discuss your interest in the services and to send you information regarding the company, its affiliates, and its partners, such as information about promotions or events.

When a visitor provides personal information to us, we use it in connection with the purposes for which it was provided to us, as stated at the point of collection (or as obvious from the context of collection). This data is not shared with other entities in the network for secondary or unrelated purposes, or shared with a third-party other than as described in this statement or otherwise disclosed at the point of collection. If there is an instance where such information may be shared, the visitor will be asked for permission beforehand.

Except for the mailing list initiative described above, where visitors explicitly choose to receive specific ELEVATE marketing or other materials, ELEVATE will not use personal data collected from our websites to facilitate unsolicited marketing activities.

Website navigational information

Cookies, web beacons and IP addresses

ELEVATE uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and web beacons, to collect information as you navigate the company’s websites (“website navigational information”). As described more fully below, we and our partners use these cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer websites and services, track users’ movements around our websites and services, serve targeted advertisements and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. This section describes the types of website navigational information used on the company’s websites and services, and how this information may be used.

Cookies

ELEVATE uses cookies to make interactions with the company’s websites easy and meaningful. When you visit one of the company’s websites, ELEVATE’s servers send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognize your web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to ELEVATE, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a web form (such as a “contact” webform), you remain anonymous to the company.

ELEVATE uses cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer.

ELEVATE and its third-party partners may also utilize HTML5 local storage or Flash cookies for these purposes.

For example, in these cases, cookies remember information such as which browsers have visited the company’s websites. The information provided to third-parties does not include personal information, but this information may be re-associated with personal information after the company receives it.

ELEVATE also contracts with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons (see below) on the company’s websites and services, from emails, and on third-party websites. Ad networks follow your online activities over time and across different sites or other online services by collecting website navigational information through automated means, including through the use of cookies.

Web beacons

ELEVATE may use web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about customers and visitors’ usage of the company’s websites and interaction with emails from the company. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular website or service tied to the web beacon, and a description of a website or service tied to the web beacon. For example, ELEVATE may place web beacons in marketing emails that notify the Company when you click on a link in the email that directs you to one of the company’s websites. ELEVATE uses web beacons to operate and improve the company’s websites, services and email communications.

Log Files, IP Addresses, URLs and Other Data

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer our websites and services. This information may include your internet protocol (IP) address (or the proxy server you use to access the world wide web), device and application identification numbers, your location, your browser type, your internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files you viewed, your searches, your operating system and system configuration information, and date/time stamps associated with your usage. Due to internet communications standards, when you visit or use the company’s websites and services, we automatically receive the URL of the website from which you came and the website to which you go when you leave our website. This information is used to analyze overall trends, to help us improve our websites and services, to track and aggregate non-personal information, and to provide the websites and services. For example, ELEVATE uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which customers and visitors navigate the company’s websites. ELEVATE also collects IP addresses from customers when they log into the services as part of the company’s “identity confirmation” and “IP range restrictions” security features.

Social Media Features and Single Sign-on

The company’s websites may use social media features, such as the Facebook “like” button (“social media features”). These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on the company’s website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. You may be given the option by such social media features to post information about your activities on the company’s website to a profile page of yours that is provided by a third-party social media network in order to share with others within your network. Social media features are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on the Company’s website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the relevant social media features. ELEVATE may also allow you to log in to certain of our websites and services using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign-up form.

Do Not Track

Currently, various browsers — including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites’ visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. ELEVATE does not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to the company’s websites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. ELEVATE takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

Public forums, refer a contact, and customer testimonials

ELEVATE may provide bulletin boards, blogs, or chat rooms on the company’s websites. Any personal information you choose to submit in such a forum may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these forums, and may be used to send you unsolicited messages. ELEVATE is not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these forums.

Customers and visitors may elect to use the company’s referral program to inform contacts about the company’s websites and services. When using the referral program, the company requests the contact’s name and email address. ELEVATE will automatically send the contact a one–time email inviting him or her to visit the company’s websites. ELEVATE does not store this information.

ELEVATE posts a list of customers and testimonials on the company’s websites that contain information such as customer names and titles. ELEVATE obtains the consent of each customer prior to posting any information on such a list or posting testimonials.

Sharing of information collected

Service Providers

ELEVATE may share data about ELEVATE visitors, customers and attendees with the company’s contracted service providers so that these service providers can provide services on our behalf.
