Privacy Policy

Collection of Information
We collect information about you in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address or most-recently-visited URL. We also collect personally identifiable information about you when you fill out a form or survey, register for an event, join our email list,  or emailing us. We may also collect personal information from you at other points on our site that state that personal information is being collected.

Disclosure of Information
We do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to any third parties.

Use of Information
We use personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information for internal marketing purposes, for trend analysis, for pattern detection, and for site administration. However, we do not use personally identifiable information collected from the website to send unsolicited mailings to you. Of course, if applicable, we do use personally identifiable information to perform the services for which such data was collected (i.e., if you sign up for an email newsletter, we will send the email newsletter to the address you provide us).

We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference by following the ‘opt-out’ instructions provided.

If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may ‘opt-out’ of receiving them by following the ‘opt-out’ instructions provided.

Third Party Sites
This policy only addresses our activities from our servers. Other sites (including those that we link to within an advertisement, article or otherwise, and third-party sites or services with which we offer or co-brand) may have their own policies, which we do not control, and thus are not addressed by this policy.

Cookies and Other Tracking Methods
When you view our website, we might store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Cookies, which are tied to personal information, do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a website as easily as possible. Cookies can help us provide information that is targeted to your interests and they allow us to better understand how users use our site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most popular with our users. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our site may not work properly in that case.

Third Party Tracking
We use a third-party tracking service from Google Analytics that uses cookies to track information about visitors to our site in the aggregate on page visits, time on page, and visitor bounce rates to enable us to make the site better and more informative to our visitors. Mobile opt-in will not be shared with third parties.

Legal Disclosure
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.

Mobile Opt-In Data
When you choose to receive text (SMS/MMS) messages from the World Trade Center Institute (“WTCI”), we collect your mobile number and related consent information. This data is used solely for providing updates, alerts, and communications that you have requested.
We do not sell, rent, or share mobile opt-in data, text messaging originator opt-in data, or consent information with any third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Your mobile data is shared only with our service providers as necessary to deliver the messaging service, and such providers are bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

SMS Disclosure
By providing a telephone number and submitting this form, you are consenting to be contacted by SMS text message. Message & data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary.

Amendments
Amendments to this policy will be posted at this URL and will be effective when posted.

Changes in this Privacy Statement
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the home page, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, it will be updated here and will be effective when posted.
