What Personal Information About Customers Does pescpe.com Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your CPE experience at pescpe.com. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features (like online grading, online courses, etc). We use the information that you provide for purposes such as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our website, and communicating with you.

You provide information when you buy our courses, participate in an online course or questionnaire, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you place an order through pescpe.com; provide information for billing and shipping (and you might have more than one if you have used more than one e-mail address when shopping with us); communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a online exam or online course; download PDF course materials; or provide employer information when shipping your order to a company address. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with information such as your name, address, and phone numbers; credit card information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone number; and people for whom you are making additional exam purchases.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with the website. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses pescpe.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at pescpe.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

Examples of the automatic information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our Web site, including date and time; cookie number; and products you viewed or searched for. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

Other Sources: Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more accurately.

E-mail Communications: If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please email Customer Service via the Contact Us link.

Does pescpe.com sell my information?

No. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries Professional Education Services, LP controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing after-hours customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Protection of pescpe.com and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of pescpe.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What About Links to Other Websites?

Our site includes links to other third-party and state board websites. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these third-party websites. If you click on these links, they automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices. In addition, the Network Advertising Initiative offers useful information about Internet advertising companies (also called "ad networks" or "network advertisers"), including information about how to opt-out of their information collection.

What Choices Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of online grading or online courses. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please email Customer Service via the Contact Us link.

The Help portion of the toolbar on your web browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of pescpe.com's coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
