Privacy Policy

CADSessions values privacy – your privacy and our own. To help maintain your privacy and the security of your personal information, we have implemented this Privacy Policy and we communicate it to CADSessions employees or contractors and internally enforce privacy safeguards to protect your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store information received from you. Before disclosing any information to us, please familiarize yourself with our privacy practices so you can understand how your personal information may be used by CADSessions.

Our Collection and Use of Information:

[This policy controls how we use your information]

CADSessions may collect information in a number of ways from users who access our website or services. You may provide your information to us to receive a product, service, or communication from us; we may request your information to better serve you; or we may in the future require your information in order to complete a transaction (e.g. a purchase, or delivering a product or service you have requested) or provide access (e.g. to a paid service). We may also obtain information when you access our content channels (e.g. YouTube) or social media sites (e.g. Facebook).

A. Collection of Personal Information

[Personal Information (‘PI’) is information that specifically identifies you.]

Personal information (or “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”) is information and data that can be used to specifically identify or contact a single person.

You may be asked to provide your personal information when you contact CADSessions for any reason. As you would expect, CADSessions may share your personal information internally. If we do, we will use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also combine personal information with other information to help us to develop or improve our products, services, content, communications, and/or advertising, or to provide improved user experiences for you.

Personal information we collect:

Examples of some types of personal information CADSessions may collect and how we may use it include the following:

When you purchase or register services or products, request support, download information, register for a webinar, live workshop, or training, provide feedback on a video, educational information, or other product, participate in a promotion, contest or online survey, or respond to an advertisement, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and/or contact preferences.
We do not collect credit card information. Even if we implement a shopping cart on the site, or a means to allow purchases for example of a value-added service, subscription, certification program, or product, any such purchases will be through a third party payment service or credit card processor. The payment service or credit card processor will collect information required to make payment(s) needed to in connection with such purchases including certain personally identifying financial information (“PIFI”) such as your name, your credit card number (or a portion thereof), the expiration date for the credit card, bank information such as your bank’s name and routing number, and/or your account information. This information will be collected by the third party on their site, and will be subject to applicable financial disclosure rules, and their privacy policy rather than ours.
We may ask for certain information only in limited circumstances, e.g. where required by law, or to provide a service you have requested. If such a requirement is imposed then we will ask for it. Such information may only be stored transiently, during a secure session.

How we use your personal information:

[We generally use your information to help provide services and information to you, and to communicate. You can generally opt-out of communications from us]

Optional Communications: The personal information we collect allows us to provide you with CADSessions’ latest product announcements, helpful tips and information, special offers, updates, and upcoming events. If you don’t want to receive these communications, or do not wish to be on our mailing list, you can opt out. The information in connection with these optional communications and your responses to them help us to improve our products, services, content, and advertising.
We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, improve, and customize our products, services, content, and advertising, and to provide a better user experience for every user of our products and services.
Important Communications: We may use your personal information to send important communications, e.g., about your purchases, material changes to our terms, conditions, and policies (including this Privacy Policy), critical updates to sites, or regulatory changes that impact your use of CADSessions products or services. However, at present you can also opt-out of these communications. However, we may implement communications in connection with future programs or services (including e.g. value-added services, subscriptions, or certification programs), and if this information is vital to your interaction with CADSessions for those services, we may indicate that you may NOT opt out of receiving these communications if you wish to continue to use our site(s) for those services, subscriptions, or certification programs, or similar products or services. We will notify you if we implement such communications. Of course you will always have the right to unsubscribe if you wish to stop using our site and services.
We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve CADSessions’ products, services, communications, support and/or help functions, and user interfaces.
If you enter into a promotion such as a contest, a giveaway, a one-time or special offer, or similar promotion, we may use the information you provide to administer those programs.

B. Collection of Non-Personal Information

[Non-Personal Information may include information about you, but it cannot be used to identify you. ]

Information of a type (or in a form) that does not permit direct identification of, or association with any specific individual is “non-personal information”. Combinations of personal and non-personal information (“aggregated data”) are considered personal information if the combined information can be used to identify or contact any specific individual(s). Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of our Privacy Policy as long as it cannot be used to identify or contact any specific individual. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and certain other identifiers may be considered personal information under various local laws; we endeavor to comply with the laws and regulations that are applicable to us.

How we collect and use your non-personal information

[We use Non-Personal (i.e. non-identifying) Information in the aggregate usually – to improve our products and services and the experience for our visitors and customers.]

We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information (information that does not identify you) for any purpose.

The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:

We may collect non-personal information (e.g. demographic information) regarding our customers collectively including information such as age, gender, occupation, preferred language, zip code, area code, geographic location, or the time zone from which visitors or customers access the CADSessions website(s), products, or services. We may be able to determine your geographic location and time zone based on your IP address. Other information we may obtain from you, e.g. via a survey or registration you voluntarily complete on our site. Such non-personal information is used so that we can better understand who our customers are, and their behavior generally with regards to CADSessions, and to improve our products, services, communications, support, help, user experiences, and advertising for our customers.
We also may collect non-personal information regarding customer activities on our website or through the CADSessions services or products. For example, we may track which videos are watched, or when people stop watching them in order to make more useful videos for our customers collectively. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Non-personal support or help request data may be used to improve our videos, site, navigation, support, communications, and user interfaces, or to allow us to provide additional product or service offerings, better instructional materials, or new videos to our present and/or future customers.
We may collect non-personal information regarding the digital footprints of our customers with respect to accessing CADSessions sites, products, or services including mobile and non-mobile access, specific types of devices being used, unique device IDs, type of browser(s) being used, networks that our customers use, and other non-personal information. This information may be used to improve our site, navigation, products or product recommendations, instructional materials, or services including but not limited to their performance, functionality, design, or responsiveness.

To accomplish this, CADSessions’ website(s), online instruction or educational materials, email messages, and advertisements may use cookies or related technology such as pixel tags, clear gifs, and web beacons. These technologies help us to know which parts of our website people have visited, and provide data to aid us in understanding the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. These data are used to improve our products, services, communications, and advertisements. We consider information collected through the use of cookies and other technologies as non-personal information, and treat it accordingly.

We may also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our site(s), informational video, products, or services. These uses are intended to improve your personal experience. We can provide better and more personal results if we ‘remember’ your preferred settings, your name, and such.

CADSessions may use cookies or other technologies in connection with certain advertising services to determine your experience with our content including whether an ad is likely to be of interest to you, whether or not you are served a particular ad, and the number of times you are served a particular ad. These technologies allow us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. You may have options for opting out of such targeted ads. You should contact your service provider or your mobile provider to inquire about how to do so.

CADSessions also uses specific technologies that may be used to track actions by recipients in connection with certain communications such as emails from us (if you have authorized them). For example, these communications may include one or more clickable text or graphic elements that include URLs that link to content on the CADSessions site. However, these URLs, may pass through a web server that tracks the click before arriving at the linked content on our website. The tracked data can help CADSessions determine the effectiveness of our communications to users and customers, or to gage interest in specific topics. If you prefer not to have your responses to such communications tracked in this manner, do not click links in the email messages. Such communications may also include pixel tags that can tell us whether, e.g., an email has been opened. We may use this information to throttle the number of messages sent to users or customers, or to remove people who do not read or interact with our communications from one or more lists.

Cookies and other technologies can generally be controlled on your devices. If you want to disable cookies, you should review your privacy or security settings. Please note that certain features of the CADSessions site may not be available if you have cookies disabled. We will typically try to warn you that a page or feature you are trying to reach will not function without cookies enabled. If you have your cookies on your device or browser disabled and are having difficulties you may wish to enable them to see if the problem is resolved.
