2. Collection and Use of Information 

WorkforceEDU will not disclose your Personal Information except as described below:

We use the aggregate information we automatically collect (such as IP address, referral source, the identity of your Internet Service Provider, the date and time of your visit to each page on the Site, and basic browser and system details) to conduct market research and to help us optimize our Website and the Services we offer on the Website now and in the future. This information is not associated with your Personal Information.

We collect Personal Information (such as first and last name, email address, and phone number) and share it with trusted third parties to provide the Services and assist us with our internal operations. If you provide us with Personal Information, such information may also be used for marketing purposes, and may result in follow-up communications from WorkforceEDU and our affiliates. In addition, from time to time, we may share Personal Information (including name and email address, and phone number) with carefully selected third parties, so they may offer goods and services that we believe may be of interest to you. When you request information regarding our Services, you acknowledge that we, our affiliates, or third parties may contact you using whatever contact information you provide to us and may do so using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice.

From time to time, we might establish a business relationship with other persons or entities whom we believe trustworthy (“Service Providers”). For example, we may contract with Service Providers to provide certain services, such as analytics tools, Web hosting, customer relationship management, and Web development. We provide our Service Providers with the information reasonably necessary for them to perform these services. In addition, we use a third party service provider, 3D Cart, to collect your payment information; we do not have access to the information you provide to 3D Cart. Our testing Services are provided by Worldwide Interactive Network, Inc., and we will share your name and email address with Worldwide Interactive Network, Inc., in order to facilitate the testing process, provide you with any resulting certificate, and provide you with any needed technical support. Use of your Personal Information by these Service Providers is not governed by this Privacy Policy. Please consult these Service Providers’ privacy policies for further information.

We also may use your Personal Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, respond to your inquiries, conduct market research and direct email from us, detect and protect against error, fraud, or other criminal activity, enforce our Terms of Use, and for any other purposes that WorkforceEDU deems appropriate.

Other than as described in this Privacy Policy, WorkforceEDU will not disclose your Personal Information to other parties unless required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (1) conform to the edicts of the law, (2) protect and defend the rights or property of WorkforceEDU, including but not limited to protection from fraud, abuse, or violations of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy, or (3) to protect the safety and integrity of WorkforceEDU, its users, the public, or other parties as deemed appropriate in our sole discretion.
