Information That We Collect, and How
We Use It
CFO SEATTLE collects information
from our users when they create their account for this Site, when they request
copies of publications, seek additional information regarding our services or
employment opportunities, or register for conferences and other CFO SEATTLE-sponsored
events. Some of our Site's registration, enrollment, account setup and other
forms may ask users to give us contact information, unique personal
identifiers, financial information, subject areas of interest and/or
demographic information. We may use this data to tailor the visitor's
experience at our Site. We sometimes aggregate demographic information, and the
types of systems and browsers of users for internal purposes, so that we may
better understand the user population of our Site, identify subject areas of
interest, and determine whether the Site is designed to work with the computer
settings of a majority of our visitors. CFO SEATTLE also may conduct user
surveys on the Web, which usually are intended to provide CFO SEATTLE with
information on a number of areas, such as user identity, user viewing habits,
whether or not users found what they were searching for, whether the Site
content is relevant to user needs, and the like. CFO SEATTLE uses the
information gathered from such surveys to improve our web content, navigation,
and overall visitor experience.
Any personal information that you
provide, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, subject
areas of interest, etc., allows CFO SEATTLE to inform you about updates to the
service and to notify you about other products and services offered by CFO SEATTLE
that may be of interest to you. We will not sell, share, or rent or otherwise
make available any of that information to other parties, except that we may
disclose the information to third parties who perform services on our behalf in
connection with the Site and have a need to access the information in
connection with those services. In addition, CFO SEATTLE may disclose contact
information for you in response to inquiries by bona-fide rights owners in
connection with allegations of infringement of copyright or other proprietary
rights arising from information that you have posted on the Site or otherwise
provided to CFO SEATTLE. Individuals that subscribe to e-mail newsletters are
given the opportunity to opt-out of promotions, news, and information at the
