General Information Collection and Use
Anyone can visit DigitalThink's site without disclosing who they are or revealing any personal information about themselves. We track the Internet addresses of the individuals who visit our site to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement and gather broad demographic information, but this data is not linked in any way to individual personally identifiable information. The information we collect creates a broad picture of our population and is used to continually refine our courses and products, identify the most popular areas of our site and improve our services.
Individual Course Registration
DigitalThink collects basic contact information (such as name, address, phone number and email address) when you enroll in any course on our site, including our free sampler courses. Upon registration, you must specify a User ID and Password that enables you to access a restricted area of DigitalThink's site, where the course(s) you have enrolled in is/are stored. Your personal information is only used for DigitalThink's internal administrative and identification purposes. We do not share your information with any third party. Personal information is stored on DigitalThink computers and is only accessed by authorized DigitalThink personnel.
Employer-Sponsored Course Registration
DigitalThink collects basic contact information (such as name and email address) and asks you to specify a User ID and Password when your employer sponsors your enrollment in a DigitalThink course or a third party course delivered through DigitalThink. In addition, your employer may request that you enter additional employer-specific information during registration. If you are accessing a DigitalThink course through your employer, you should know that all information gathered by DigitalThink may be revealed to your employer. For example, your employer may track your progress through the course and receive reports of your tests and exercises. This privacy policy does not extend to the use of your personal information by your employer.
Changing Your Personal Information
We will provide you with the means to update or change your personal information. A link to review and update your personal information is available when you log in to view your courses.
Password and User ID
You must enter your User ID and Password every time you access courses or adminstrative tools. Without this information, no other student or site visitor can access your courses. Lost Passwords may be retrieved automatically by clicking the "Forgot your Password?" link. You can change your Password at any time. A link to review and update your personal information is available when you log in to view your courses.
Cookies
DigitalThink applications and courseware may use cookies to store your login information. A cookie is a small text file, stored in memory on your computer, that can be read by our system when you return to our site. DigitalThink cookies are encrypted. They are used to track access to our site and courses. Cookies allow DigitalThink to provide a more robust, personalized user experience. Some applications and courseware require that cookies are enabled in the user's browser.
Chat and Discussion Areas
DigitalThink hosts chat and discussion groups in our course environment. Any information divulged in this area may be observed by other students and is not secure. Your actual email address will be masked within the DigitalThink course environment so that your student email address appears similar to: "yourStudentID"@webmail.digitalthink.com. This format is used to ensure that other students cannot obtain your actual email address by simply enrolling in a course. Emails from other students will be automatically forwarded from your DigitalThink mailbox to your actual email address. If you wish to preserve the privacy of your actual email address, you must reply to those messages from within the DigitalThink learning environment.
Encrypted Credit Card Purchases
If you use a credit card to purchase a DigitalThink course, the credit card number is encrypted as it passes over the Internet. Your credit card number is not kept or recorded by DigitalThink or our computers - it is simply passed through to the credit card company to purchase the course. In this respect, buying a course from DigitalThink is similar to a credit card purchase at any store. DigitalThink does not keep your credit card number on file.
