COLLOQUY
Privacy Policy
Who are we?
COLLOQUY is a global research, educational and publishing resource dedicated
to the dissemination of information and analysis about the loyalty marketing
industry. Launched in 1990, COLLOQUY is the first publication of its kind,
and is often cited and quoted in research and publications on the topic of
loyalty marketing. Available in both printed and web versions, COLLOQUY and
www.colloquy.com are published by Alliance Data.
COLLOQUY subscriptions are available upon request and are provided
at no charge to qualified marketing professionals.
Gathering Information
How do we gather information about you? Simply put: we ask for it. Through
enrollment forms, surveys, and other methods of VOLUNTARY participation, we
collect names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and other relevant information
about you and your business, and how you use this site. We abide by strict
opt-in principles—you decide whether or not to volunteer the information
and submit it to us.
We do not attempt, in any way, to gather information about you
or your company without your permission and participation.
We do use "cookies." More specifically, we use one
cookie, and we only give it to you if you ask for it. The cookie we use records
your user name and password and recalls it automatically every time you go
to COLLOQUY.com, so you don't have to keep repeating your Log In information
every time you want to access the information at COLLOQUY.
What Do We Do With This Information?
The information you give us is for internal use only. COLLOQUY staff use it
to:
> Maintain our
subscriber records and mailing lists.
> Improve the
content and usability of the Web site.
> Contact you
when a new issue of COLLOQUY is on the way, or to let you know that new information
of potential relevance to you is available at COLLOQUY.com
> Contact you,
upon your request.
> Contact you
via telephone, direct mail and/or e-mail. Upon any such contact you have the
right to remove your name from internal contact lists, thereby preventing any
further contact.
> Our subscriber
list is NEVER sold or rented to 3rd parties. Occasionally, we make the list
available for educational, workshop and/or seminar mailings when COLLOQUY or
its parent company, Alliance Data, Inc, is sponsoring and/or participating in
the event. In such cases, however, the use and security of the list is maintained
internally by COLLOQUY staff members.
How Do We Protect You?
Your information is maintained on a secure server or is confined to a secure
sales and marketing database. No unauthorized personnel—at COLLOQUY
or otherwise—has access to this information. Security measures of the
highest standards are in-place to mitigate the possibility of any outside
party gaining unauthorized access to your information.
Credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by
established third party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions.
They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card
or other payment information and to process and ship your order. All transmission
and encryption of your purchasing data is handled through Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) software. If you wish to view our Verisign SSL certificate, please contact
us at info@colloquy.com.
When confirming your transaction, no part of your credit card
data will be revealed in any correspondence. Your credit card transaction
data will only be revealed to our third-party banking and processing agents
as a means of completing your order.
How Do You Change Your Information?
Temporarily, please notify us at info@colloquy.com
to make changes to your profile information. You may also choose not to receive
any e-mail from us by simply letting us know (e-mail info@colloquy.com).
If you have any questions regarding how your information is
collected or protected, or if you feel we have violated any of our above stated
policies in any way, please contact us by phone, fax, e-mail or snail mail.
