Privacy Statement

Charles Communications Associates, LLC ("CCA,") is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. CCA collects information from our users at several different points on our website.

CCA may ask you to complete a registration form in order for you to use this website. During registration a user may be required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information will be used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

Some of our clients may use cookies on their own sites. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that CCA is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.

If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter in the future, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site and improving CCA's business.

CCA takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line.

We also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to info@charlescomm.com.

Our users are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information.

Users who no longer wish to receive our communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at info@charlescomm.com. Users also may opt-out through the contact information on our website, which also supplies a telephone and postal option as a way to opt-out.

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
