What Information is Collected When you register for DRIVERSAFETY USA Products and Services, you will be asked to provide certain personal information that will be stored in a secure and confidential "profile" (“User Profile”.)

When you register for a DRIVERSAFETY USA course, you will be assigned a username and asked to create a password for your account. You will also be requested to provide a secret question and answer.

DRIVERSAFETY USA will not use or share your personal information in a manner that differs from what is described in this Privacy Statement without your prior consent. How DRIVERSAFETY USA Uses Your Personal Information DRIVERSAFETY USA uses your personal information for the operation and maintenance of your Web Site account and to provide DRIVERSAFETY USA Products and Services, as described above. As an example, DRIVERSAFETY USA uses your e-mail address, if provided, to send you a welcome e-mail message when you first register, confirming your enrollment in the DRIVERSAFETY USA course for which you register and telling you how to manage your Web Site account. DRIVERSAFETY USA may also send you e-mail messages about DRIVERSAFETY USA Products and Services and any benefits you have accrued as a User. DRIVERSAFETY USA’S GENERAL DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DRIVERSAFETY USA may hire other companies to provide certain services on our behalf, such as providing customer support or performing statistical or other analyses of our products, services, Web Site or other areas of our business. DRIVERSAFETY USA will provide these companies with only those items of your personal information needed to deliver the services, and the companies and their employees are prohibited from using that personal information for any other purpose. DRIVERSAFETY USA may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on DRIVERSAFETY USA; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of DRIVERSAFETY USA or its affiliates; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Web Site, or the public.

Nevertheless, we do not control or monitor the privacy practices of sites linked to the Web Site, and the privacy practices of those sites will vary. You should carefully review the privacy statement for each of those sites you visit in order to determine how each of those sites or services may use any information it collects. If DRIVERSAFETY USA becomes aware of ongoing, site-specific privacy issues with a linked site or service, we will work to address those issues with the site or service.

For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access and that are in controlled facilities. Any time DRIVERSAFETY USA transmits your information, we use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. This protects the confidentiality and security of your personal and payment information while it is transmitted over the Internet.

It is your responsibility to ensure the security of your Web Site account password and not to reveal this information to others. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. We recommend that you change your password periodically, using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure that you use a secure browser. DRIVERSAFETY USA stores and processes any personal information it collects from you in the United States and not in any other country.
