TRENDIX and its affiliates ("TRENDIX" or "we") is committed to protecting the privacy of the personally-identifiable information that we collect from you as you use this Web site (the "Site" or the “Site's Blog). The scope of TRENDIX commitment is detailed in this Privacy Policy. By submitting information, you agree to TRENDIX use of such information as described herein. Please see our Terms of Use for more information about our on-line policies in general.

1. What information is collected?
TRENDIX collects personally-identifiable information on certain areas of the Site when users register, request publications or other information, sign up for conferences and events, apply for jobs, and participate in user posting areas, such as bulletin boards, discussion forums, and surveys. The personally-identifiable information collected may consist of a unique access ID, company or school affiliations, titles, and contact information, such as names, mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone and fax numbers, and, for recruiting purposes, any other personally-identifiable information on your resume. You may have the opportunity to purchase publications on the Site, in which case we may collect order information and your credit card information in order to facilitate shipment and payment. The non-personal information we may collect includes the domain name of the site providing you with Internet access, the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, the operating system your computer is running and other site visit data such as the pages you view, information you search for and the average time spent on our website. Much of this information is tracked through log files, which are stored on TREDNIX servers. It is possible this information could be matched with your name or other personally identifiable information.

2. How is your information used?
TRENDIX considers the personally identifiable information contained in our business records to be confidential. We will not sell, rent, or share your personally identifiable information without your consent except in accordance with this policy. If you submit your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information or communications to us via our website while requesting information or contacting someone at TRENDIX or communicating with us or submitting communications (for example an email message or blog submission), we will use this information only to the extent necessary to respond to your request(s) or submissions or to otherwise communicate with you.  This includes providing you with updates or other communications to further any campaigns we have initiated and that you have joined.  To do this, we may need to share your information with our affiliates, business partners or others who work for us such as service providers, vendors, contractors and agents.  To the extent you submit personally identifiable information related to a specific initiative or campaign, we may share the information with any subsequently formed affiliate dedicated to such initiative or campaign.
We use the non-personal information collected about site visits in the aggregate to better understand the entire audience that is requesting or submitting information. Aggregate information is anonymous. This information enables us to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of our site and better tailor the site to our visitors' needs.
To the extent permitted by law, any information collected over our website or concerning its use, including the content of any communication you submit or post to the Site's Blog (personal and non-personal), may be disclosed to government authorities or third parties pursuant to a legal request, subpoena or other legal process. We may also use or disclose your information as permitted by law to collect debts, fight fraud or protect the rights or property of TRENDIX, our customers, our website, its users or third parties, or when we otherwise believe in good faith that the law requires it.
Furthermore, any communication you submit or post to the Site's Blog is a public communication and may be viewed by the general public.  Therefore, you acknowledge and understand that you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in the content you submit to the Site's Blog, whether or not it includes personally identifiable information about you.  If you display your personal information in any communication submitted to the Site's Blog, other individuals may collect and use your personal information.  We are not responsible for, nor can we guarantee the protection of, any personal information you disclose in a communication submitted to the Site's Blog for posting or contained in email submitted to us, and thus, you acknowledge that if you disclose personal information in any such material, you do so at your own risk.

3. Links to third-party sites
We may provide links to third-party Web sites as a service to our users. In addition, some of the content appearing to be on this Site is in fact supplied by third parties, for example, in instances of framing of third- party Web sites or incorporation through framesets of content supplied by third-party servers. Please be aware that we cannot control and are not responsible for the information collection practices of such third-party Web sites, which may differ from those of this Site. We encourage you to review and understand the privacy policies on these Web sites before providing any information to them.

4. Security
TRENDIX has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally-identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized TRENDIX personnel are provided access to personally-identifiable information, and these employees are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions, TRENDIX cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personally-identifiable information.

5. Transfer hosting and transfer of information
Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where TRENDIX has facilities, and by subscribing to and/or using our publications, you consent to the transfer of information outside of your country.
