Privacy Policy

ANSIR® Communications, Inc. ("ANSIR") has created this Privacy and Confidentiality Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of our visitors and Members of our network of Web properties collectively referred to as "The ANSIR® Websites". It is ANSIR®'s intention to never disclose the personal information our Website visitors convey to us.

Data Gathering and Use
ANSIR® maintains data files on Members who participate in the 3 Sides of You® Self-Perception Profiling System™. ANSIR® uses this information exclusively for statistical analysis, for psychographic and other research, for the marketing of our services, and for the development of future applications of the Profiler™, results, and knowledge acquired through the site. These data files contain all information given to us including demographics such as first name, email address, age, gender, marital status, occupation, state / province, country and zip code. We also retain answers to the 3 Sides of You® Profiler™ results, and the date and time. Every aspect of the Profiler™ is saved for each participant and stored in a protected directory in the database of our server. Member information gathered on the ANSIR® Websites is not shared with anyone outside ANSIR® Communications. Answers to Profiler™ questions are NEVER intended to be shared with anyone outside ANSIR® Communications, Inc. and its subsidiary companies/ divisions. Registration data may be shared with others in an aggregate form for marketing. For example, 65% of ANSIR® Members are women.

Public and Private Information - Ansir.biz/ Business.Ansir.com/ WorkforceDNA®.com
Only select ANSIR® administrators have access to the registration data of visitors to the Ansir.biz site or any of the affiliate sites listed above. If an individual is directed by a third party to Ansir.biz to take the Self-Perception Profiler™, results are NOT intended to be shared with that third party. The Member profile/ data of a registrant on the Ansir.biz site is NOT accessible to the Personal Development Website such as when using Member and occupation searches mentioned above. Registration is separate for both sites.

Personal information belonging to registrants on the Ansir.biz site may be used for statistical analysis, but any personally identifying information is not used for this analysis. If a third party has directed you to these sites, the party will only have access to registration information you provide to them in order to identify you among other clients of theirs. The data gained from the registration data and final assessment reports are to be used for the purpose in which the third party deemed it necessary for you to take the assessments. The materials and information on this Website should not be used for the purposes of pre-employment screening or making employment related decisions and any such use for these purposes is strictly prohibited by ANSIR®.

Public and Private Information - Ansir.com
As a Member of the Personal Development Website you may return through the "myANSIR" page to review and alter your Profiler™ results, Member name, password, and any other personal or demographic information stored in your file. Occupations provided by ANSIR® Members upon registration are offered as a resource for our Members yet, they are without identifying information.

ANSIR® requires a valid email address from Profiler™ participants. This is used to supply users with their Member Name and password. A valid email address is also required for to participate in the biz.com (WorkforceDNA®) features.

ANSIRDeals
ANSIRDeals is an email marketing service that provides tailored information on products and services ANSIR believes are suited to Members' personality styles. Members are given the express opportunity to opt-out of these bulletins at the time of registration on the ANSIR® registration form. At any time, Members may also later opt-in or opt-out of these bulletins by updating their email preferences in your Member Profile on the myANSIR page of Ansir.com. It is ANSIR®'s intention never to share personal information with 3rd parties in providing ANSIRDeals. All emails are handled exclusively by ANSIR®.

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that many Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user ID, which the site then uses to track the pages you've visited. Many users are concerned about security and privacy risks associated with cookies. Some of these concerns are based on a misunderstanding of the way that cookies work. For instance, a server can only ask the browser to store information that is already available to the server; it cannot access the user's hard disk or obtain the user's login name, e-mail address, or current directory unless the user deliberately supplies this information. Cookie data is never "executed" in any way by the client machine, so cannot be used to create viruses or destructive programs. Because each cookie is limited to 4K (name plus value combined) and each site is limited to 20 cookies, cookies cannot be used to fill up a user's disk. Although early systems had flaws in this regard, current browsers do not transmit cookies to sites other than the ones that either set the cookie or are in the domain of the site that set the cookie. So rogue sites cannot read or modify cookies from other sites.

ANSIR® Cookies
This site uses cookies for only one reason - to pass participant information from one page to another as part of the ANSIR® experience. While cookies help with the function of this site, they are never associated with anything that could be used to identify you. In keeping with our policy to respect privacy above-all, this is not a dated or permanent cookie, like other sites use. When users log-on to the ANSIR® Websites, the cookie is activated so they can access their own information and participate in Member Only features specific to their membership level. When they leave either site and shut down their browser, our cookie crumbles and disappears.

3rd Party Cookies
The ANSIR® Web sites not supported through advertising.

Security
To prevent outside tampering, data is stored in a protected directory in the Web server. Only key ANSIR® personnel have authority to access the information, which is treated as highly confidential. Our pledge to you is that such information is never meant to be given to a third party.

Your log-in information is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access to your Member profile. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.

Transactions
Our online order forms use Internet Secure to provide secure and encrypted transactions. Internet Secure is a corporation approved by the international banking industry, and has specialized in secure credit card transactions on the Internet since 1996. As a result, ANSIR® does not maintain financial records of its Members. More information about Internet Secure and their own privacy and security features can be found by clicking here.

Children's Guidelines
ANSIR® Communications Inc. is committed to the wellbeing of children. It is our belief that the 3 Sides of You® personality profile is an adult assessment and beyond the intelligence grasp of most children. Teenagers who take the test are treated as any other participant with the same security measures and protections as stated above. Information from children under 13 is never knowingly collected or maintained at our Website, and no part of our Web site is structured to attract anyone under 13 years of age.

Choice/Opt-Out/Modify
Providing information to ANSIR® or any other Website is always your choice. We also offer you the ability to modify any information you have previously provided us. ANSIR® Members who participate in the 3 Sides of You® Profiler™ can review, modify, or remove information previously submitted by sending email to privacy@ansir.com.

To better safeguard your information, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your information, or making requested changes to your information.

It is our belief that any contact or correspondence with ANSIR® generated by you constitutes permission for us to reply.
