The American Society For Quality South Asia (ASQ South Asia), the owner of www.asq.org.in, is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its members, customers, and visitors. This privacy policy describes what information ASQ South Asia will collect from visitors and purchasers such as yourself, and how we will use that information once it’s collected. This policy does not apply to the practices of any third party, affiliate, or business partner that ASQ South Asia does not own or control.
This privacy policy applies to ASQ South Asia’s website, www.asq.org.in. It does not apply to websites of any ASQ member, affiliate, Section, Division, or chapter. It does not apply to websites operated by organizations or groups who associate themselves in any way with ASQ South Asia. It does not apply to any other websites, including those that link to the ASQ South Asia website.
Collection of non-personal data
If you browse ASQ South Asia’s website and you are not an ASQ member, you do so anonymously. We only collect your e-mail address and other personal information when you provide it of your own free will. We log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to tell us which parts of our website you visit and how long you spend there. We do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. We also track what country or region within South Asia you are accessing the Internet from, and what time and date you visited.
The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer, operating system, and web browser you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information. We use this information from our server logs and analytics system to learn more about our visitors as a group, not about you as an individual. The information helps us identify overall usage patterns and trends on the site.
If you are an ASQ South Asia member and log in, we collect your first and last name, your membership type, your industry/market, which Forums/Divisions you are a member of, and which publications you receive. We do this by placing a small bit of data called a “cookie” on your computer (see more about cookies below). Collecting this information helps us direct you to the information on our website that’s meant for you.
Collection of your personal information
Online forms are available for customers to request information, download articles, or purchase products and services. We obtain information you provide to us via these forms, as well as surveys and contests, such as your name, mailing address, and e-mail address. We may use this information to provide you with information about the products and services offered by ASQ South Asia. In addition, this site uses registration forms for customers to register for courses, conferences, and/or certification exams. We collect information about you only if you voluntarily provide contact information within these forms.
Control of your personal information
ASQ South Asia will not sell or share your e-mail address with other organizations. However, other information you share may be used to provide you with information from ASQ South Asia or selected organizations about products, services, or activities that may be of interest to you.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including electronic newsletter delivery and the processing of event registrations. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service. They are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
If you supply your personal information to an ASQ South Asia partner, such as a training provider or the Career Center, please be aware that ASQ South Asia no longer has control over the use of your personal information. We will not knowingly partner with companies that abuse personal information. However, be aware that our partner companies may contact you if you choose to conduct business with them.
Disclosure of your personal information
ASQ South Asia may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) satisfy a legal order or comply with legal process; (b) defend the rights of ASQ South Asia or its affiliates or business partners; or (c) protect the personal safety of ASQ South Asia employees, agents, affiliates, business partners, customers or website users.
