Our Commitment to Privacy
Your online privacy is important to us. To help protect your privacy, this statement explains our information practices and lets you know the choices you have about how your information is collected and used. You can refer back to this privacy policy by clicking the privacy policy link on the bottom of every page in this site.

Information Collection and Use
Professional Advisory Services is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in any manner that is different from what is described in this statement. We collect and use this information in the following ways:

Product order and registration forms
We request information from users on our product order and seminar registration forms. This information includes contact information (such as name, address and phone number) and financial information (such as credit/debit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill orders. If we have trouble processing an order or registration, we use this information to contact you.

Newsletter subscription form
If you choose to subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we ask for contact information (including name and e-mail address) in order to fulfill this request.

Referral service
If you would like to use our referral service to tell a friend or colleague about our site, we will ask you for that person's name and e-mail address. Professional Advisory Services will automatically send this person a one-time e-mail that invites the person to visit the site. Professional Advisory Services stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time e-mail. The person may contact Professional Advisory Services through our online contact form to request that we remove this information from our database.

Security
Professional Advisory Services takes every precaution to protect your information, prevent unauthorized access, maintain the accuracy of your data and ensure its correct use. To this end, we have in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information, both online and offline. If you have any questions about the security measures at our Web site, please contact us through our online contact form.

IP Addresses
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data placed on your hard drive by our Web server. We use them to make the product ordering and registration processes easier, as well as to track and target the interests of our users so that we can enhance the usefulness of our site.

A server can only read the cookie data that a particular server has placed in the cookie. We can't track where you came from to get to our site, or where you go after you leave. Cookies cannot "read" data on your hard drive, including cookie files placed by other sites.

Advertisers may use cookies on our site. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

If you prefer to not have cookies placed on your hard drive, you can tell your Web browser to refuse cookies. (In Internet Explorer, this option is in the View > Internet Options > Advanced menu. In Netscape Navigator, it's in the Edit > Preferences > Advanced menu.)

Third Parties
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

We use an outside fulfillment company to fulfill orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for products and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We may partner with other parties in order to provide specific services. We will share user information with these parties only to the extent that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Special Offers
When you subscribe to our newsletter, order products or register for seminars on our site, you will from time to time receive information on special products, services or offers that we believe will be of interest to you. If you would prefer not to receive this information, you may opt out at any time. (Please see Choice/Opt Out below.)

Site and Service Updates
We occasionally send site and service announcement updates. Because these announcements contain important information about our services, you are not able to unsubscribe from them.

Choice/Opt out
You will have the opportunity to opt out of having your information used for purposes not directly related to our site and services at the point where we request the information. You may also opt out at any other time by contacting us directly. A link to our contact information is available on every page of this site.

Correction and Removal of Information
If your personally identifiable information changes or if you stop using our service, we will promptly correct, update or remove your information upon request. To make such a request, please contact our customer support through our online contact form.

Notification of Changes
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy. If we do so, we will provide at least 30 days advance notice of the changes by sending e-mail to users who requested such a notification. We provide this advance notification so that you will have the opportunity to choose as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner.

Outside Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Professional Advisory Services is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites and we encourage you to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personal information.

Children's Privacy
In order to protect the privacy of the very young, we do not collect or maintain information from any person we know to be under the age of 13. In addition, no part of our Web site is structured to attract children under 13.

If you are under 13 years of age, you are not allowed to subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, to order products from our site or to provide any personal information in any other way on our site.

Legal Disclaimer
We may disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on our Web site.
