The purpose of this website is to provide information about the Consortium for Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing Operations (CONFERS) to the general public. For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, our computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

We are always conscious and respectful of your personal privacy and we recognize the importance of protecting your personal information. We have provided this Privacy Policy to inform you how we intend to treat your personal information. Most visitors to this web site will not leave any personal information; however, we believe you should be aware of the extent of information gathered. That being said, this Privacy Policy will answer any questions you may have about the kind of information we may collect and how we may use it when you visit our website and/or send us e-mail.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

Except for authorized law enforcement investigation and to maintain required correspondence files, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are used to simply determine how many users are accessing the site, which pages are the most popular, and, from time to time, from which top level domain users are coming.

When you send us e-mail, we do retain the content of the e-mail, your e-mail address, and our response in order to handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also use this information to measure how effectively we address your concerns.

INFORMATION SHARING

We do not sell, rent, or lease your name or any other personal information to anyone. We occasionally contract with other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

CONFERS will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law to: (1) protect and defend the rights or property of and/or CONFERS; (2) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on and/or CONFERS; and, (3) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of and/or CONFERS customers and/or team members/partners, visitors to CONFERS’s website and/or the public.

PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access.

While none of the CONFERS webpages are directed towards children, we are committed to comply with the United States’ Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If a child has provided us with personally-identifiable information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should e-mail us to remove the information and cancel the e-mail subscription.
