Using the ExecutiveBrief Web Site

Occasionally, you will be asked to submit your name and e-mail address or other personal information about yourself in order to receive information or use services on our Web site. Such services include newsletters, RSS feeds, comment feedback, e-mails and other notices.

By providing your details, you authorize ExecutiveBrief and its service providers to provide you with the information and services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy.

Cookies

During the course of any visit to the ExecutiveBrief Web site, a short text file called a ‘cookie’, is downloaded to your computer. Cookies enable website publishers, such as ExecutiveBrief, to provide better online user experiences and analyze the activities of their visitors. Cookies also record the information about visitors’ online preferences.

Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The option to remove or not accept cookies, therefore, prevents ExecutiveBrief to provide you with personalized content and services.

Personal Information

Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to ExecutiveBrief.com or otherwise engage in any disruptive behavior on ExecutiveBrief.com, ExecutiveBrief can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behavior. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behavior.

Any information you provide to ExecutiveBrief will be used by the publishers of ExecutiveBrief, by its agents and service providers, and will be shared with our sponsors. Our business model is to provide free of charge content that is funded by our sponsors in exchange for getting access to our site visitor information.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of ExecutiveBrief.com membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as an ExecutiveBrief.com member. For safety reasons,however, ExecutiveBrief may store messaging transcript data (including message content, member names, times and dates) arising from the use of ExecutiveBrief.com services. Where personal information is held for people who are not yet registered but have taken part in other ExecutiveBrief.com services (e.g. competitions), that information will be held as long as is necessary to ensure that the service is run smoothly. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely.

Your information may be used by ExecutiveBrief to contact you for “service administration purposes”. This means that ExecutiveBrief may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you with password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been suspended for maintenance.

Newsletters and Promotions

ExecutiveBrief, its publishers and its sponsors may use your registration information to send you newsletters and promotional materials that we think may interest you. We value your time, consider your membership important and valuable, and carefully track and manage the quality and number of messages sent to our members. You may remove yourself from the list of monthly new article notifications by going to “Email Settings” under “My Accounts” page. However, as a registered reader of ExecutiveBrief, you are providing permission for our sponsors to contact you with offers we deem might be of interest to you.
