CPI Training does not store personally identifiable information in the cookies.

Uses of personal information

CPI Training is an online service dedicated to helping all types of professionals more effectively connect with clients all over the globe. The personally identifiable information you choose to provide on our website is used to help you describe yourself to clients. Other information, that does not personally identify you as an individual, is collected by CPI Training.

CPI Training Communications

CPI Training will communicate with you through email and notices posted on the CPI Training website or through other means available through the service, including text and other forms of messaging. If we send any communications to you via the carrier service with which you have a mobile communications subscription or otherwise have access, you understand you will pay any service fees associated with any such access (including text messaging charges for messages to your mobile device). These include a series of up to five welcome emails which help inform new Members about various features of the service. Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails from CPI Training related to the proper functioning of your profile. CPI Training may send you promotional information. You can change your e-mail and contact preferences at any time by logging into your profile.

Customized Content

Information provided to CPI Training (or to third parties with whom it offers combined services) is also used to customize your experience on our website. For example, when you login to your profile we will display the screen names of new Members who have recently joined our network.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

CPI Training takes the privacy of Members very seriously. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing purposes. We will only share your personally identifiable information with third parties to carry out your instructions or to provide specific services or information. For instance, we use a credit card processing company to bill Members for purchases made specifically you. These third parties do not retain, share, or store any personally identifiable information except to provide these services and they are bound by confidentiality agreements which limit their use of such information.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

CPI Training offers a “public profile” feature which allows Members to publish portions of their CPI Training profile, including their “name”, but not their “email address” to the public Internet. CPI Training does not warrant how often third-party search engines will update their cache.

CPI Training may offer our services in connection with other websites (including updates about the CPI Training service) or may team with other online services to give you the combined results of both services or additional services and benefits. Platform Applications can be designed by Platform Developers or by a subset of Platform Developers with whom CPI Training has more closely aligned (“Partners”).

In the case of Partners, we do some vetting and we only work with trusted Partners. For example, bisconsulting.com is a Partner. Because of CPI Training’s trust in these Partners, Platform Applications or services designed by a Partner may be automatically granted permission to access profile information to provide the combined services.

For Platform Applications designed by most Platform Developers, you will be asked to confirm acceptance of the Platform Developers’ respective privacy policies and member agreements, which have not necessarily been reviewed or approved by CPI Training. In these cases, it will be your choice whether or not to make use of the services and whether to proceed under the Platform Developers’ terms.

Platform Developers are required to agree to restrictions on access, storage and usage of your information. However, while we typically enter into contractual agreements and take technical steps to restrict possible misuse of such information by such Platform Developers, we may not screen or approve Platform Developers, and we cannot and do not guarantee that all Platform Developers will abide by such restrictions and agreements. Certain actions you take through the Platform Applications will be displayed to your connections. You understand that your use of any Platform Applications is on an “as is” basis without any warranty as to the Platform Developers’ actions.

Surveys and Polls

As a Member, you will receive requests to participate in market research including polls and surveys submitted by other CPI Training members. If you participate in surveys and polls offered through our website, the information you provide may be visible to others using the CPI Training website.

Forums/Chats/Blogs

CPI Training wishes to continue to enhance the profile of it’s members and therefore will continue to add features to it’s website, such as member blogs or articles, foreign worker wikis etc. It is at the sole discretion of the individual to participate in these features and services.

Testimonials and Advertisement Placed through CPI Training DirectAds Service

If you provide any testimonials about CPI Training, we may post those testimonials and examples of advertisements you place in connection with CPI Training’s promotion of its service to third parties, which testimonials and advertisements may include your name and other personal information that you have provided.

We will disclose such information wherein we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, subpoena, or other legal process or request to CPI Training brought in any country throughout the world, or to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Disclosures to others

We may also disclose your personal and other information you provide, to another third party as part of a reorganization or a sale of the assets of a CPI Training corporation division or company. Any third party to which we transfer or sell CPI Training’s assets will have the right to continue to use the personal and other information that you provide to us.
