KPS
Privacy Policy
Last
Revised: December, 2006
This
is the Privacy Policy for the Web sites of the Kaplan Professional
Schools ("KPS Sites"). The Kaplan Professional Schools
include the Anthony Schools, Jones College, Dearborn Real
Estate Institute, Leonard-Hawes Real Estate School, Kaplan
Real Estate Schools, Kaplan Professional Schools Nevada, Southern
Nevada School of Real Estate, Kaplan Professional Schools,
and PROSOURCE Educational Services (collectively "Kaplan
Professional Schools" or "KPS"). The Kaplan
Professional Schools are all part of the family of Kaplan
companies, which are owned and operated by Kaplan, Inc. ("Kaplan").
This Privacy Policy, which is part of the KPS Sites User Agreement,
governs your use of the KPS Sites.
Your
privacy is very important to us and we are committed to protecting
it. We understand that our site visitors and registered users
need to be in control of their personal data. This Privacy
Policy explains how and why we collect personal data from
you and how we use it. Our Privacy Policy is designed to ensure
that you are aware of how your personal data is being used
and to provide you with choices about that use.
By
visiting any of the KPS Sites or submitting your personally
identifiable information to us, you accept the terms described
in this Privacy Policy. From time to time we may modify these
rules. We will notify you of any significant change by posting
a notice on our home page and information collection forms.
Your continued use of the KPS Sites after any modification
indicates your agreement to the new terms.
Collection
and Use of Personal Data
Personally
Identifying Information. When you register for our classes,
make purchases from us, subscribe to our newsletters, fill
out a survey, or request information from the KPS Sites, we
will use our registration screens and online forms to collect
personally identifying information such as your name, address,
e-mail address, and credit card information ("personal
data"). We may also collect some or all of this personal
data from you through our print enrollment forms, or if your
employer offers one of our courses. In addition, if you send
us an e-mail or communicate with us offline, we may collect
the personal data that you voluntarily provide us at that
time.
We
may use your personal data in the following ways:
-
for the purpose for which you specifically provided the
personal data, for example to provide one of our classes,
or to deliver the results of class exams and assignments,
or to respond to a specific inquiry;
-
to send surveys or questionnaires so that we can learn more
about our customers' needs and interests;
- to
provide you with information via email about new products
or services that we think might interest you.
Anonymous
Information. You can visit most pages on the KPS Sites
without giving us any personal data. Your visit may automatically
provide us with anonymous data that is not linked to your
personal data, such as your IP (Internet Protocol) address,
browser type, operating system, domain name, access times,
and referring web site addresses. Some parts of the KPS Sites
use cookies and embedded pixel technologies to facilitate
your use of the Web site and to track general traffic. You
can learn more about these anonymous data collection devices
in the section entitled Cookies, below.
We
use a service provider to track and analyze non-personal data,
such as usage and volume statistical information from site
visitors. This anonymous data will not be linked to your personal
data. We use your anonymous data to obtain general statistics
regarding the use of the KPS Sites and its specific Web pages
and to evaluate how our visitors use and navigate our Web
site on an aggregate basis.
In
an effort to provide you with the most relevant Web site content
and marketing materials, we may also use embedded pixel technologies
to help track site usage and response to our marketing campaigns.
Again, the anonymous information we capture through this mechanism
is not linked to your personal data.
Sharing
with Third Parties
If
your employer is providing our courses to you, then upon your
employer's request, we will provide your class attendance
record and exam results. Otherwise, we share your personal
data only with service providers who help us to run the KPS
Sites or to fulfill your requests. These service providers
are restricted from using your personal data in any way other
than for the service they are providing. Other than these
service providers, KPS does not share your personal data with
any other third parties.
We
may also need to disclose your personal data to third parties
if we, in our sole discretion, believe it is required by law,
to enforce our User Agreement or this Privacy Policy, or in
connection with a sale or transfer of some or all of our assets
in the KPS Sites.
We
may share your contact information with trusted affiliates
who will adhere to the terms of this privacy policy, in order
to provide you with information via email about co-branded
products and services that we think might interest you. Your
information will not be sold, shared or used for any other
purpose outside of these companies.
Other
than these limited exceptions, KPS will not share your personal
data without your permission.
Transfer
to the United States
If
you are located outside of the United States, please note
that the personal data you provide to us will be transferred
to the United States. Whenever you submit any personal data
to us, you consent to this transfer.
Your
Ability To Choose
You
can let us know that you do not wish to receive any further
information from us by clicking the unsubscribe link in the
emails we send you, or by updating your contact preferences
online at http://www.home-inspect.com/preferences/updatepreferences.asp.
Please
note that this opt-out mechanism does not apply to email that
we send you to (i) confirm your registration in one of our
courses, (ii) confirm any other purchases from us, or (iii)
provide you with information regarding your attendance or
exam results.
Cookies
We
use cookies to allow you to move quickly through our site,
to allow you to take advantage of some of the KPS Sites' special
features, and to collect information about your use of the
KPS Sites. A cookie is a string of information that is sent
by a Web site and stored on your hard drive or temporarily
in your computer's memory. Cookies are small files and won't
pose any significant disk-space concerns. Some cookies used
by KPS may remain on the user's computer after they leave
the web site, but most are set to expire within 30-365 days.
Cookies
benefit you by creating a more streamlined login process,
keeping track of shopping cart additions and preserving order
information between sessions. As we enable further customization
of the site, cookies will help in assuring that the information
provided to you will be relevant to your needs. You can disable
our cookies using the cookie-menu on your Web browser, but
doing so will prevent you from taking advantage of customization
and certain security features. To learn more about cookies
and browser functionality, search for "cookies"

Security
KPS
is concerned with the security of your personal data. To keep
that data secure, we restrict unauthorized access through
protective policies, procedures, and technical measures. In
addition, KPS uses standard security protocols and mechanisms
to transmit sensitive data such as credit card details.
Links

The
KPS Sites may contain links to other Web sites, including
other Kaplan company sites. This Privacy Policy covers only
the KPS Sites and not other sites - including other Kaplan
Web sites. Be sure to look for the privacy policies that govern
your use of these other Web sites.
