Safety Training Resources (“Safety Training Resources,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) recognizes that privacy is of immense importance to individuals everywhere – our clients, website visitors, product users, and everyone. This is why we take your privacy seriously.

What This Policy Applies To: 
Your privacy is important. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Safety Training Resources protects the privacy of information collected through this Site. The Policy describes that PII may be used, to whom it may be disclosed, and how it is safeguarded. Unless indicated otherwise, this Policy applies only to PII collected through Safety Training Resources’ websites, microsites, or mobile sites where this Policy is displayed or linked by us (the “Site”).

What This Policy Does Not Apply To:
The Site may contain links to other websites and use of third-party software. Safety Training Resources is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party websites, policies, or practices.

Changes To Our Privacy Policy: 
Updates to this Policy are effective immediately when posted at www.safetytrainingresources.com.  You should review this Policy regularly to ensure you agree with any changes that are made. Your use of the Site constitutes your consent to the terms of this Policy. If you cannot or do not consent to the terms of this Policy (as it may be revised from time to time), you must not use this Site.

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page with a notice that the privacy policy has been updated on the website's home page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ PII, we will notify you through a notice on the website's home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active, and deliverable email address for you and for periodically visiting our website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.

Information Collected Directly from You:
In general, you can visit Safety Training Resources’ website without providing any personally identifiable information (“PII”) other than the information we collect automatically. You may choose to give us PII in a variety of situations. For example, if you create an account on the website to contact us for information, respond to surveys, subscribe to receive information, or register for webinars, conferences, and other events. In such circumstances, you will be asked to provide certain PII that may include your name, address, email address, company, position, physical address, telephone number, fax number, and preferences. In addition to using PII you provide to us to facilitate the foregoing activities, we may also use such information to update your contact information to receive subscription information; update and manage your preferences in connection with your subscription account; provide service, whether in response to a request or following up on an inquiry; improve our website; improve how our services are offered on our website; improve the interactions visitors have with our website; and market services that may be of interest to you. We may also use the information you provide us with for any other purpose for which you provide it or in any other way we describe when you provide the information.

We may also conduct research on our users’ demographics (e.g., age, gender), interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us when making a purchase or from surveys and from our server log files. We do this to better understand and serve you. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis so as to prevent the identification of PII relating to any one individual. We may share this aggregated data with our suppliers.

Finally, we may also ask for your PII when you express an interest in employment opportunities at Safety Training Resources by applying through our website. The information we collect from you will be made apparent at the time you are submitting your application, and we will use this information only to evaluate your employment candidacy.

Once you create an account, you can visit your profile on the safetytrainingresources.com website at any time to add, edit, or remove PII, such as your first and last name. If you decide to provide PII, you are telling us that this information is both true and accurate and that you are authorized to provide it to us.
