Purpose of Collection
iGPS may in the course of business collect personal data that is voluntarily provided by
you at our Web site. When you provide personal data to iGPS, iGPS will usually inform you
of the purposes for which it is being collected. The potential uses include, among others,
providing requested information or educational materials, providing iGPS services via online
access, or training or educational activities. Our policy is not to share personal data
with unrelated companies, except as provided for in this Agreement or as described at the
time of collection or as necessary in connection with internal information processing
activities. We recognize that your data is confidential and we will take all reasonable
measures to protect your data while it is in our possession.
Collection of Personal Data by iGPS
When you submit your personal data at this Web site in response to a registration form or
while accessing applications located at this Web site, the data controller/administrator
collecting the personal data for purposes described is iGPS, a Connecticut, USA, company.
iGPS normally requests limited business-related personal data, such as name, title, company
address, e-mail address, and telephone and fax numbers, and other information necessary to
respond to your request. iGPS disclaims any legal duty to verify the accuracy of any personal
data that you provide to iGPS.
Typically iGPS will ask for you to submit personal data at the following times:
- Registration to gain access to certain areas of the site;
- When we have to respond to your request for further information;
- When we will need to distribute requested reference materials, products or services; and
- Obtaining resumes submitted by you in connection with seeking employment; and
It is iGPS's policy to collect personal data only when its collection is necessary. In any
instance where non-mandatory information is sought, you will be notified of this at the
point of collection. iGPS's Web site is not structured to attract children. Accordingly,
we do not intend to collect personal information from anyone we know to be under 13 years
of age.
Collection of Personal Data by iGPS Affiliates
When you link to the Web site of an iGPS affiliate, or an iGPS sister company (or its
subsidiary), referred to below as "iGPS Affiliates", and you are asked to submit personal
data, the data controller/administrator collecting the data for that Web site or
application shall be the applicable iGPS Affiliate as described in any supplemental
Privacy Policy information provided. In such instances, you may be asked to review to
the appropriate supplemental Privacy Policy information and, if applicable, asked to
complete and submit necessary consent forms to assure iGPS's and each iGPS Affiliate's
compliance with the privacy laws, governing the collection and use of personal data in
your country of residence.
Consent To Collection And Use
By voluntarily accessing the applications, services or information provided to you by
iGPS and any iGPS Affiliate on their Web sites you acknowledge that such access is
requested by you to facilitate our mutually beneficial business purposes. iGPS and each
iGPS Affiliate therefore reserves the right to deny access to such services or information
by you, where you decline to provide requested consent, if such consent is required by
law in your country of residence in order for iGPS or any iGPS Affiliate to process or
transfer the necessary personal data. You agree that by checking an "I Agree," "I Consent"
or similar box, or voluntarily disclosing your personal data at an iGPS Web site, you may
be deemed to have granted your limited consent to the mutually beneficial uses reasonably
contemplated at the time of your consent, including ordinary data processing activities by
third parties on iGPS's behalf, to the extent such consent is legally sufficient in your
country of residence. iGPS ordinarily uses your data to better understand your needs and
provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your data to update you on the benefits
and features of iGPS products and services and to provide you with information and material
requested by you. From time to time, we may also use your data to contact you for market
research or to provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular
interest. At a minimum, we will always do our best give you the opportunity to opt out of
receiving such direct marketing or market research material. We will also follow internal
requirements for avoiding the delivery of unwanted mail to you, such as allowing you to
opt in before receiving unsolicited material, where applicable.
Consent To Export of Personal Data
Where collection of your information may be deemed to be "exporting" your personal data
under the laws of your country of residence, you agree that providing your personal
information to iGPS or an iGPS Affiliate located in a jurisdiction other than your country
of residence shall be deemed your express consent to the transfer of your personal
information outside your country of residence, to that of the designated data
controller/administrator, for the mutually beneficial uses reasonably contemplated at the
time of your consent.
Sensitive Personal Data
iGPS's intention is not to seek any sensitive personal data through our Web site. Sensitive
personal data includes a number of types of data relating to: race or ethnic origin;
political opinions; religious or other similar beliefs; trade union membership; physical
or mental health; sexual life or criminal record. We suggest that you do not provide
sensitive data of this nature, unless as part of an employment application. If you elect
to provide sensitive personal data not requested by iGPS, you expressly consent to iGPS's
use of that data consistent with the mutually beneficial uses reasonably contemplated at
the time of your consent or as more specifically described at the point where you choose
to disclose your personal data.
Transfer of Personal Data
Personal data collected by iGPS may be transferred to iGPS Affiliates, which are member
companies of the worldwide iGPS organization, where it is necessary to meet the purpose for
which you have submitted the information. By submitting personal data on iGPS's Web site,
you are providing explicit consent to worldwide transfer of such personal data to, and use
by iGPS or any iGPS Affiliate, within the scope of the privacy policies stated by iGPS or
any iGPS Affiliates.
Cookies
Cookies may be used on some pages of our site. "Cookies" are small text files placed on your
hard drive that assist iGPS in providing a more customized Web site experience. For
example, a cookie can be used to store registration information in an area of the site so
that a user does not need to re-enter it on subsequent visits to that area. The use of
cookies is intended to make navigation of our Web sites easier for you and to facilitate
efficient registration procedures. Cookies also enable us to monitor individuals' use of
our site for the purpose of continuing to improve its usefulness. If you are concerned
about cookies, most browsers permit individuals to decline cookies. In most cases, you may

Third Parties
iGPS will not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to others. Unless we have specifically
informed you, obtained your consent or are required by law, we will only share the personal
data you provide online with iGPS Affiliates and/or business partners who are acting on
our behalf, and then only for the uses described in "Use of Data". If there is an instance
where iGPS may desire to share such information with third parties, you will be asked to
consent to such disclosure at the time you submit the data. However, the sharing of such
information will be made only for purposes consistent with the uses described in the Privacy
Policy.
Legally Compelled Disclosure
Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal information to
third parties for purposes other than to support your customer relationship with igps.net,
such as in connection with a corporate sale of all or a portion of our business or assets
(including our associated customer lists containing your personal information), or if
disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations
or proceedings or necessary for matters of safety and security.
Third Party Links
There are several places throughout the iGPS Web site that may link to other Web sites that
do not operate under iGPS's privacy practices. iGPS does not endorse or make any
representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials
found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. When you link to other
Web sites, iGPS's privacy practices no longer apply and iGPS assumes no responsibility
for the information or other practices of a site that is accessible through iGPS. We
encourage you to review each site's privacy policy before disclosing any personally
identifiable information.
Data Retention
iGPS does not retain all of the data that we receive. Contact information about visitors
will be kept as long as the information is valid or until a user with appropriate
authorization requests in writing that we delete that information.
Your Choices
iGPS respects your right to make your own choices about how your personal data is handled.
Should you choose to subscribe to mailing lists or any registrations, and later decide to
unsubscribe we will provide instructions, on the appropriate Web site area or in
communications to you or you may contact iGPS at privacy@igps.net. In addition access
to certain applications or services may involve particular uses, disclosure or transfer
of the personal information being collected during registration for that application or
service. If required under the laws of your country of residence, you will be notified of
such intended uses, transfer or disclosure and asked to provide your consent. Failure to
provide you consent where so requested may mean you will not be provided access to the
applications or services for which your personal information cannot be lawfully
processed.
Accuracy, Access & Further Notification
iGPS strives to ensure the accuracy of your personal data, as provided to iGPS. Depending
on the privacy laws in your country of residence, you may have the right to view, update
or correct data submitted through the Web sites to iGPS, or to receive additional
notification of changes in the use of your information. When personal data is retained,
iGPS undertakes to make all reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the personal
information submitted and verified by you. iGPS does not assume responsibility for verifying
the information you submit, or for establishing the ongoing accuracy of the content of
personal data. When practically possible, if iGPS is informed that any personal data
collected through a Web site is no longer accurate, iGPS will make appropriate corrections
based on the updated information provided by the authenticated visitor. Queries in this
regard should be directed to iGPS at
privacy@igps.net.

misuse or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information,
we have put in place appropriate procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect online.

Modifications
Subject to the legal requirements of your jurisdiction of residence for notice and consent,
iGPS may at any time revise this Agreement by updating this posting and it's revision date.
Connecticut law and controlling U.S. federal law govern any action related to this
Agreement. Choice of law rules of any jurisdiction and the United Nations Convention
on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any dispute under
this Agreement. Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under this
Agreement will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If
any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government,
or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with
a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions
of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement constitutes the
