we are committed to ensuring your privacy. The following
discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices:
Changes to the policy
For your convenience, changes to
the Center for Competitive Management ® privacy policy

a change becomes effective.
The information we gather and how we use it
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We
may use non-personally identifiable information collected
from you and other users to perform statistical analyses
of user behavior and characteristics. These aggregated statistics
would be used to improve the Site and for product development
and marketing purposes generally. We also may provide such
aggregated information to advertisers and other third parties
for certain purposes, but such statistics contain no personally
identifiable information and cannot be used to gather such
information.
Other non-personally identifiable
information about your visits to the Site, such as the number
of times you have viewed an advertisement (but not your name,
address or other personal information), also may be used
to serve particular advertisements to you on the Site.
Personally
Identifiable Information
The personally identifiable
information you provide to us when using the Site may be
used to provide products and services to you, to enhance
your experience at the Site, and, if applicable, to enhance
your experience as a subscriber to Thompson's products and
services.
The ways in which we use your
personally identifiable information will be set forth, and
consented to by you, either when you register to use our
Site or when you first use the Site.
We
may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers
(collectively, "Outside Contractors") to provide
specific services and products related to CCM and the Site,
such as providing credit card processing and fraud screening,
order fulfillment and shipment, mailing of Thompson publications
and other materials, hosting and maintaining the Site, and
developing applications for the Site. These Outside Contractors
may sometimes have limited access to information collected
from you, including your personally identifiable information,
in the course of providing products or services to us. Access
to your personally identifiable information by these contractors
is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order
for these Outside Contractors to perform their limited function
for us. We also require that these contractors (i) protect
the privacy of your personally identifiable information consistent
with this Privacy Policy, and (ii) not use or disclose your
personally identifiable information for any purpose other
than providing us with products or services for which we
contracted.
We may from time to time use
your personally identifiable information to notify you of
special offers and new products and services from third parties
that we think may be of interest to you. It is possible that
we may rent, sell or otherwise transfer to third parties
personally identifiable information about you. At any time,
you can contact Center for Competitive Management to request
that we not share your personally identifiable information
with third parties, as set forth in greater detail below.
CCM may merge your information collected
on the Site with similar data obtained from third parties.
We may use this enhanced personally identifiable information
to notify you of special offers, updated information and
new products and services from Center for Competitive Management.
Other unique circumstances may arise where
we are required to disclose your personal information to
third parties, such as in connection with a corporate transaction
where all or a portion of our business or assets (including
our associated customer lists containing your personal information)
are sold or transferred, or if disclosure is required by
law or pursuant to judicial or governmental investigations
or proceedings.
You should be aware that
if you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information
in an e-mail or other communications with third parties listed
on the Sites or in other materials, that information, along
with any other information disclosed in your communication,
can be collected and correlated and used by such third parties
and may result in your receiving unsolicited messages from
other persons. Such collection, correlation, use and messages
are beyond our control.

Management ® with
