What Information Do We Collect?

CPR collects information when you visit our website, social media sites, and read our emails. We also collect information when you create and use your CPR account, sign up for or access one of our online products or services (including newsletters, emails, webinars, virtual summits, online content and tools), or when you participate in CPR surveys or research. We explain the types of information we gather, and how we collect it, in more detail below.

Personal Information: This is information that you voluntarily submit to us and that identifies you personally, such as your name, job title, company name, address, email address, phone number, and other information about yourself or your business. Personal information can also include information you enter as part of any transactions, free and paid, and information about you that is available on the internet, such as from LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google.

Technology Information: We automatically collect information about your computer hardware and software. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, internet service provider (ISP), the files you viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, clickstream data, access times and referring website addresses. We link this automatically collected data to other personal & business information such as name, email address, address, and phone number.

Payment Information: If you give us payment information, we use it solely as authorized by you in accordance with this Privacy Policy in order to collect payment from you. We use a third-party service provider to manage credit card processing. This service provider is not permitted to store, retain, or use information you provide except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on our behalf.

How is Your Data Collected?

Cookies: A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. CPR uses cookies or similar technologies (such as JavaScript) to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set, although that may prevent you from using certain features on our website, and may result in you needing to re-enter your account user name and password frequently.

Web beacons: A web beacon is an electronic image, also known as clear gifs, tags or pixels, that is embedded within digital content. Web beacons collect limited information, and do not carry any information that could directly identify you. CPR may use web beacons on our website to count users who have visited our pages. We also include web beacons in email to track opens and clicks. We use this information to customize our services and measure the overall effectiveness of our online content and outreach campaigns.

When you register for a user account, we will also register you to receive e-mail updates and newsletters from CPR.
