1. Types of Information We Collect

We collect Personal Information from you in various ways when you use our website and services. “Personal Information” means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a name, address, telephone number or email address, or other information about an individual that is directly linked to personally identifiable information. Personal Information does not include aggregate or anonymized data, and nothing in this Privacy Policy restricts or limits our collection, use and disclosure of such data.

Information You Provide. In general, you can visit the PSci website without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. Sometimes, however, we will require or request you to provide Personal Information in connection with the use of our website or services. Generally, this information is collected when you (i) fill out a contact form; (ii) become a registered user with PSci, including but not limited to subscribing as user; (iii) sign up for a mailing list; (iv) contact us; (v) enter a promotional/informational feature via our website or services; or (vi) complete a survey that we use for research. We may also collect Personal Information that is contained in the files, documents, photos and other materials that you upload to our website or provide in connection with our services. PSci may use third party authentication services (each, an “Authentication Service”) for account registration and credentialing purposes. You may be required to provide your username/ID for an Authentication Service accepted by PSci. The Authentication Service may also ask you for your password for your account with that Authentication Service. If you choose to provide any of the foregoing information, during registration or otherwise, you are giving PSci the permission to use and store it consistent with this policy. Furthermore, you may need to register for an account and use your credentials from a third party platform (i.e., payment processor), to access some or all of our services. By downloading, installing, using and accessing the services, you consent to our use of your username and other information from those accounts. These other third parties have their own terms of use and privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing your information through them and to ensure you use it in accordance with their terms of use and privacy policies. Automatically Coll

Automatically Collected Information. When you visit our website or use our services, certain information may also be automatically collected. For example, we record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our website and services are accessed. We may also use cookies and other tracking technologies to improve our website, services and your experience. “Cookies” are small text files placed on your computer’s hard drive that are read by the server that placed them, are unable to execute any code or virus and cannot take any additional information from your hard drive. These cookies allow our website to recognize you when you revisit our website and services and to remember certain information about you, such as your preferences and the type of content you find of interest so that we can better serve you with more tailored information when you return to our website or services. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. Generally, you can set your browser to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. If you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of our website and services.

PSci also receives Personal Information and other online and offline information from sources of information that legally provide PSci with your information, and which are outside the scope of this Privacy Policy at the time of collection (“Other Sources”). PSci will use such information in accordance with applicable laws and this Privacy Policy. Information concerning a device you use to access, use, or interact with the Site, such as operating system type or mobile device model, browser type, domain, and other system settings, the language your system uses and the country and time zone of your device, geo-location, unique device identifier or other device identifier, mobile phone carrier identification, and device software platform and firmware information (“Device Data) may also be collected when your device interacts with the website and PSci, even if you are not logged into the website using your device.

Credit card information is temporarily collected for use with online orders only and is not saved in any manner by PSci. PSci does not have access to the credit card number, verification code, or expiration date. This information may, however, be retained by our credit card payment processor to the extent required to facilitate the financial transaction. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Data Security. We have implemented physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. Unfortunately, no data transmission is guaranteed to be 100% secure and we therefore cannot guarantee the security of information you transmit to or from the website, applications, or through the use of our services, and you provide this information at your own risk. ACCORDINGLY, WE DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR THE THEFT, LOSS, OR INTERCEPTION OF, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR DATA OR COMMUNICATIONS BY USING THE SITE, APPLICATIONS, AND OUR SERVICES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND ASSUME THESE RISKS. If you believe your privacy has been breached through use of our website, applications, or other services please contact us immediately.

You can limit the information you provide to PSci and you can limit the communications that PSci sends to you. For example, you can manage your subscriptions by following subscription management instructions contained in the commercial e-mails that we may send you. However, even if you have unsubscribed from our promotional email messages, we may still contact you with important transactional information related to your account and your purchases; You may manage how your browser handles Cookies by adjusting its privacy and security settings; You may manage how your mobile device and mobile browser share certain Device Data with PSci, as well as how your mobile browser handles Cookies by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device; and you may also manage the sharing preferences of certain Personal Information with us when you connect with us through social networking platforms or applications.
