1. Under 18s

Children are not eligible to use our services and we ask that minors (under 18 years of age) do not submit any personal information to us.
 
 2. Information We Collect.

Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and personalized experience in order to download and use our products. This allows us to provide our products with features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience easier and quicker.

To fully use our products, you will need to register at out training.authenticationworld.com website.  Here you will be required to provide us with your contact information (e.g. name and e-mail address) and some other information relating to your professional employment (e.g. name of the company you work for). We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behaviour on our site. We use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand and serve our users. This information is compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis.

Using the Site's web server log files, we use IP addresses to analyze trends, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser and operating system you are using, your IP address etc.

In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Cookies can also help us provide information which is targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session.

Surveys. From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested will include contact information (as supplied to the site during registration) and supplementary information on your professional interests, opinions and preferences.

Payment Processing. In order to process payments online we require the billing address for the credit card used and our external payment provider, PayPal requires your credit card details. For details of how your information is used, please see following section.
 
3. Our Use of Your Information.

We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyse site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customise our site's content, layout, and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our users' needs.

We use your e-mail address to send you newsletters or other communications that you have requested from the Site. Out of respect for our users we offer an opt-out (see 4. below).

We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site, to resolve any disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular on rare occasions we may evaluate your information to look for users using multiple User IDs or alias.

Payment Processing. We take online payments for our products. We use PayPal as our external payment provider. In addition to the information outlined above, we direct you to the PayPal web site.  There you enter in the billing address of the credit card, credit card number, etc.. Authenticationworld.com does not ever receive or store your credit card information.  This is only stored with Paypal. 

PayPal requires that you provide your credit card details to process the transaction. This is done on a secure PayPal server using SSL (secure sockets layer). After the transaction has been authorized you are then sent an email by Authenticationworld.com directing you to a link to enter in the enterprise information required to customize your product (e.g. enterprise logo, enterprise name, IT security contact, phone and email information, etc.).

Your Personal Information is stored in our databases, which are located in the US. Please note that the information you enter may at some time may be required by legal authorities in the US.  By submitting your information, you consent to this transfer when legal warrants are produced by legal authorities.

4. Opt-Out of Email Communications

When registering you may click a box on the order page that opts you out of receiving emails other than for the order.  

If at any stage after registering, where you have indicated you want to receive emails and then change your mind, you can stop them coming by sending an email to orders@authenticationworld.com.    

5. Our Disclosure of Your Information

Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.

As a general proposition, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.

Advertisers. We do not use your identity information with advertisers.  

Legal Requests. E-consultancy.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property and other rights. Local, and international law enforcement agents can request and may receive your personally identifiable information.

6. Third Party Suppliers. We use third party providers to facilitate our product customization. The third party suppliers are supplied with your enterprise information in order to customize the product. 
 

7. "Tell a friend" services

Authenticationworld.com may offer a service whereby you can e-mail site content  to a friend or colleague. This will involve entering the e-mail address of your friend. We do not use the e-mail addresses you enter for any purpose other than to send your e-mail. We do not store, rent or sell these e-mail addresses.
 

8. Security

In order to process and protect your credit card details, our payment provider PayPal uses SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption. The secure server is hosted by PayPal and not Authenticationworld.com

On the authenticationworld.com web site we endeavour to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information but we do not use encryption (such as SSL) or firewalls to further protect the information as it travels across the Internet. This is because we do not believe that, apart from the credit card information processed by PayPal, the personal information we currently collect warrants such measures and the accompanying loss of speed experienced. You should be aware that "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.
 
 9. Changes to Privacy Policy

If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via email, prior to making such changes. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice, before changes go into affect, on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
