Privacy Policy
Introduction
ASQ Calgary, the owner of http://www.asqcalgary.org is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its members, customers, and visitors. This privacy policy describes what information ASQ Calgary will collect from visitors such as yourself, and how we will use that information once it is collected. This policy does not apply to the practices of any third party, affiliate, or business partner that ASQ Calgary does not own or control.
Collection of non-personal data
If you browse ASQ Calgary’s Web site, you do so anonymously. We do not collect personal information. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to tell us which parts of our Web site you visit and how long you spend there. We do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. We track what country you are accessing the Internet from, and what time and date you visited. The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and operating system you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information. We use this information from our server logs to learn more about our visitors as a group, not about you as an individual. The information helps us identify overall usage patterns and trends on the site.
Collection of your personal information
We obtain information you provide to us in connection with site registration, forms, surveys, contests, and comments, such as your name, address, and e-mail address. We may use this information to provide you with information about the services offered by ASQ or ASQ Calgary. This site allows you to register in order to post blog entries and connect with other site members. In future, registration with this site may allow you to register for courses, events, and/or certification exams. We collect information about you only if you voluntarily provide contact information within these forms.
Control of your personal information
The information you share may be used to provide you with information from ASQ Calgary or selected organizations about products, services or activities that may be of interest to you. ASQ Calgary will not sell or share your e-mail address with other organizations.
We may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including electronic newsletter delivery 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.
If you supply your personal information to an ASQ Calgary partner such as an educational institute or a consulting company, please be aware that ASQ no longer has control over the use of your personal information. We will not partner with companies that we know abuse personal information, but these companies may contact you if you choose to conduct business with them.
Disclosure of your personal information
ASQ Calgary may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) satisfy a legal order or comply with legal process; (b) defend the rights of ASQ Calgary or its affiliates or business partners; or (c) protect the personal safety of ASQ Calgary volunteers, affiliates, business partners, customers, or site users.

Use of e-mail Forwarding Tools
