This privacy statement covers personal data, anonymous data collection and aggregate reporting.

Aggregate information is data collected and summarized for a broad category of customers or ThinkREG services.

of the job application process for any other purpose.
How we use
it
ThinkREG uses your information to help us understand your needs
and interests and provide you with better services. Specifically,
we use your information to help you complete a transaction or order,
to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update
you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers
and to personalize some ThinkREG.com web sites. If you opt-in for market
research regarding ThinkREG products or services, we may occasionally
also use your information to contact you.
Credit card information is used only for payment processing and
fraud prevention, and is not used for other purposes.
Data collected on-line may also be combined with information you provide through other sources such as call centers or public events such as trade shows or seminars.
Anonymous (non-personal) data is aggregated for reporting about ThinkREG.com web site usability, performance, and effectiveness. It is used to improve the customer experience, usability and site content.
Who we
share it with ThinkREG contracts with third party service providers and suppliers
to provide complete products, services and customer solutions described
in "How we use it". These suppliers and service providers are called "logical
ThinkREG"; they act on ThinkREG behalf and are bound to the
ThinkREG Privacy Policy contractually through ThinkREG confidentiality
and personal data protection agreements. Suppliers and service
providers are required to keep confidential the information received
on behalf of ThinkREG and may not use it for any purpose other
than to carry out the services they are performing for ThinkREG.
These service providers may change or we may contract with additional
service providers in order to provide new services. ThinkREG will
not share personal data with any other third parties without
your permission unless required by law enforcement action or subpoena. Choice ThinkREG will not sell, rent or lease your personal data
to unrelated third party companies. Some ThinkREG
services are linked with those from other unrelated third party
companies, some which offer you the option to share personal data
you give with both ThinkREG and the third party. Examples include
the ability to process electronic or credit card payments. We will
not share your personal data with those third party companies
unless you make that choice. Local country laws and policies are
applied where they differ from those in the U.S.
Links provided on ThinkREG.com to third party web sites are provided
as a convenience and ThinkREG does not control those sites or
their privacy practices, which may differ from ours. ThinkREG
does not endorse or make any representations about them. We encourage
you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting
your personal information. The personal data you choose to give
to unrelated third parties is covered by their privacy policies,
not the ThinkREG Privacy Policy. Some third-party companies may
choose to share their personal data with ThinkREG; that sharing
is governed by that third-party company's privacy policy.

data security.

all employees are trained on incident response procedures.
