Privacy Policy
Revised: January 1, 2017
We at Compass-360 Association (the “Association” or “we” or “us” or “our”) know that your privacy is important. This privacy policy (“Policy”) is designed to assist you in understanding how we will collect and use the information you provide when you use our publicly available website at www.compass-360.org and any other website on which we post a direct link to this privacy policy (collectively, the “Sites”).
Please read this Policy to learn more about the ways in which we collect and use your information. If we make any material changes to this Policy, we will notify you in accordance with the process described in the “Revisions or Changes” section of this Policy, below. By using our Sites, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Policy.
This Policy is not exclusive. In particular, if you use our Compass-360 constituent management software as a service, the data that you submit as you use Compass-360 will be further governed by the applicable user agreement and as required by law.
For the purposes of this Policy, when we refer to “you,” we mean any visitor to one of our Sites.
Collection of Personal Information
What We Collect. In some situations you may provide us with your personally identifiable information, which could include your name, telephone number, email address, organization, credit card or other payment information, and any other information we collect about you that by itself is not personally identifiable information but if combined with personally identifiable information could be used to personally identify you.
You may provide us with personally identifiable information when you use a Site to request more information from us, to request to be contacted by us, or to make a donation or other payment.
We may use your email and other addresses and contact information for customer support, required notifications, product and policy updates, and sales and marketing purposes, and we may use your credit card or other payment information to process any donations or payments you make, but we will not use this information for anything else not described in this Policy.
If you provide contact information for an individual through a refer-a-friend feature on a Site, we will store that information for purposes of sending a one-time email inviting them to visit one or more the Sites.
Information We Automatically Collect. When you access our Sites whether by computer, mobile phone or other device, we automatically collect certain information about your use of our Sites (this information may include without limitation: geographical location and IDs of your computer, mobile or other device; bandwidth used; system and connection performance; browser type and version; operating system; referral source; length of visit; page views; IP address or other unique identifier for your computer, mobile phone or other device; and your mobile carrier) using technologies such as cookies and web beacons.
Data Integrity and Security. We use reasonable and diligent efforts to maintain accurate information on our customers, and have adopted and implemented reasonable industry standard security procedures to protect any such information collected. We constantly monitor our systems, which are protected using industry-standard security measures. Although the Association will use reasonable efforts to secure network communications and our Sites, we cannot guarantee that credit card or other personal information submitted to, maintained on, or transmitted from our systems will be completely secure.

To protect your privacy and security, we reserve the right to take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to granting access to or processing changes or corrections to such information. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, we may retain your personal information indefinitely. We may also retain and use such information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

In the event of any significant changes to the manner in which your information is handled, we would notify you by a prominent notice on the Sites or by email.
Other General Policies Relating to Privacy
Disclosures by Children. We believe that protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important and for that reason we will never collect or maintain information on our Sites from those we actually know are under the age of 13, and no part of our Sites is structured to attract anyone under 13.
Third Party Sites. Our Sites may contain links to third party websites. Please note that the privacy and other policies of any such third party website may differ materially from this Policy. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policies of any such third party prior to submitting personally identifiable information. The Association has no control over and is not responsible for the information practices of other websites, including those to which we may link and those which may link to us.
Use of Widgets. We may provide widgets on our Sites that make it possible to share information on third-party platforms. These widgets do not store your personally identifiable information. Our Sites may also include social media features, such as the Facebook® or Twitter® button and similar widgets and interactive mini-programs that run on our Sites (each, a “Feature”). To the extent we use these Features, they may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Sites, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social media Features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Sites. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing the Feature or widget.
Use of Cookies. When you interact with the Sites, we try to make that experience simple and meaningful. When you visit our Sites, our web server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that web browsers place on a computer’s hard drive and are used for various tracking purposes, including to indicate whether you have visited the Sites previously. The data collected may include how you navigate around a web page and the most commonly clicked links on a specific web page. Certain technical information, such as your browser version and operating system, are also collected. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set (each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences). We use cookies for a number of purposes, including to estimate and report total audience size (unique users) and traffic for our Sites and to conduct research to improve the content and services of our Sites.
Web Beacons. We may use web beacons to access cookies and count users who visit our Sites or open our HTML-formatted email messages. Web beacons are single-pixel graphic files with a unique identifier, similar to cookies. Web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and emails and are stored on a user’s hard drive. You may be able to modify your browser settings or add a browser extension to control web beacons.
Third-Party Cookies. We may also from time to time engage third parties to track and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from visitors to our Sites to help us administer our Sites and improve their quality. Such third parties may use cookies and web beacons to help track visitor behavior. Such cookies and web beacons may track how you interact with a Site, and the data collected may include how you navigate around a web page and the most commonly clicked links on a specific web page. Certain technical information, such as your browser version and operating system, may also be collected. If collected, this information will be used by us to evaluate and, if necessary, modify the relevant Site to improve the functions and ultimately, make it easier to use. None of your personally identifiable information is collected through such collections.
Use of Testimonials. We may select and post testimonials or reviews on Compass-360, which may contain personally identifiable information such as your name and/or the city, state, or country in which you live. We will obtain your consent prior to posting any testimonial or review with your name. If you post such content, it will be available to other users of the Site on which the testimonial is posted. Your posting may also become public and we cannot prevent such information from being used in a manner that may violate this Policy or the law. If you would like us to remove or delete your name or testimonial from our Sites, you may contact the Association using the information in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Policy. Note that copies of information that you have updated, modified, or deleted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of our Sites for a period of time.
Governing Law; Superseding Contract Terms. By choosing to visit and interact with the Association, you agree that your visit and any dispute regarding the protection of your privacy during such visit is subject to this Policy and the choice of law and dispute resolution provisions in our separate terms of use. To the extent you enter into other contractual agreements with the Association, the privacy terms and conditions of such agreements (including a separate agreement applicable to the use of Compass-360) supplement or supersede portions of this Policy to the extent of any inconsistency between this Policy and such agreements.
Revisions or Changes. The Association reserves the right to change this Policy and other policies prospectively at any time, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by posting a revised Policy on the Sites.
