Pacific Youth Robotics Society Privacy Policy

This policy is effective September 15th, 2011

Keeping your trust: We believe that confidentiality of customer information is one of our fundamental responsibilities. While information is critical in providing quality service, we recognize that one of the most important assets is our members’ trust.

Use, collection and retention of customer information: PYRS limits the use, collection and retention of customer information to what we believe is necessary or useful to conduct the business of our Society, provide quality service and provide services and activities of interest to our members and constituency. We collect personally identifiable customer information from our registration forms, including information requests, software downloads, Webcast registrations and training requests.

Who we share information with: We work with business partners to provide specific services, such as sending newsletters, providing software downloads or product deliveries. We provide these partners limited customer information such as name, company name and address. We may disclose personal information as we believe is required by law. Other than as described in this section, PYRS does not rent or sell customer information to unaffiliated third parties for the purpose of marketing their products or services to you.

You have a choice: We are sensitive to the fact that some of our members prefer not to receive offers or promotional information from PYRS. Customers who do not wish to receive these offers may have their names removed at any time from future solicitations. To remove your name from future mailings, please send your request to info@pyrs.ca or in writing to Pacific Youth Robotics Society, 1755 E. 55th Ave. Vancouver, B.C.

This policy is effective May 21, 2010

Information Collected: The Pacific Youth Robotics Society collects personal information needed to process your registration and login as well as personal information in connection with online requests for literature, applications and forms, and use of online tools. We also collect information which is not personally identifiable to the user, such as referring URL addresses, time spent in certain areas of the site, and origination of the user.

Use of Personal Data: The personal information (e.g., name and address) we require when you request or download information is used only to service your account and provide you with information relating to PYRS services and sponsored activities. Unless you choose to identify yourself in responding to a request for information on our Web site, you will remain anonymous to us. Any personal information that is collected is used to service you in connection with your use of our Web site and is not shared with third parties, except for our partners, as described in the General Privacy Policy.

We may also use aggregated user data from these Web tools as part of research to develop new Web features, tools, and content, and for market research related to our products.

PYRS understands that re-entering personal data to transmit a request can be time consuming. For example, we ask you to fill out information about yourself, such as your name and e-mail address, when requesting literature. PYRS uses cookies on various pages of its Web site to identify users and prepare customized Web pages for them. When you log in, we send you a cookie with a unique identifier. We use this cookie to remember who you are each time you view a new Web page on our site. Each time you log off, that identifier expires. Cookies are used in a similar manner on other pages of our Web site where information is requested from you, such as forms for service or literature requests.

E-mail: The Pacific Youth Robotics Society does not sell its customers’ e-mail addresses to third parties. We may disclose customers’ e-mail addresses to business partners that perform marketing services for us as described in the General Policy. E-mail addresses you provide are used only to service your account and provide you with information on PYRS services and sponsored activities. You may opt out from any promotional emails as described in the You Have a Choice section above.

Surveys: Occasionally, we conduct surveys regarding our Web site or other products or services. The information you provide is used collectively for analytical purposes. You will not receive unsolicited communications as a result of your participation in a survey if you notify us not to contact you.
