Certification Forum (referred to below as "CCF,"
"we," "our"
and "us"), is a not-for-profit
organization organized under the laws of the State of California,
U.S.A., with a business office at [ ], U.S.A. Your use of

What information is collected
When you register with our site, we will ask you for your
name, job title, and company or organization's name, and your
business address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail
address. This information is your "contact information."
If you are registering for an event, paying membership fees,
making a contribution, or placing any order through our site,
we will also require additional financial and billing information
(such as credit card information, billing and delivery addresses,
etc.). This type of information is your "financial
information." Forms requiring your financial
information are encrypted. When you visit our site, some information
such as your Internet or IP address, Internet Service Provider,
the site or most recent sites that you visited prior to arriving
at our site, and the time and date of your visit, may be collected
automatically as part of the operation of the site. Once collected,
this information (which we call "aggregate information")
is not linked to your personally identifiable information
such as your contact or financial information.
How your information is used
Contact Information. We use your contact information
to send you information about our organization and its activities,
upcoming events, and to communicate with you concerning events
for which you have registered or other requests that you have
submitted to us. We share your contact information with third
parties whose activities, services, or products may interest
our visitors. If you do not want us to share your contact
information with any third parties, please indicate your preference
by checking the appropriate box on the form that you use to
submit your information, or contact us at any time at privacy@globalccf.org.

may apply. Your financial information is processed and stored
using industry-standard encryption and security measures.
We will not share your financial information with any third
party other than our current third party credit card processing
service provider.

Cookies. Our web site may use "cookies"
to store and obtain certain information relevant to your use

of your information when we believe that such release is reasonably
advisable to enforce or apply our Terms
