Privacy Statement Information Collection & Use
Compass Point Associates is the sole owner of the information collected on compasspointassociates.org.

Personal Information includes name, address, telephone numbers, workplace information. All Personal Information collected on our website will remain confidential and will not be disclosed to a third party unless we receive prior authorization from you.
Orders
If you purchase a product or service from us, we will request certain Personal Information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). Other information may be voluntary such as age or education level. This information will be used to better serve our clients and help us determine the services to offer for our clients.
We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we encounter difficulties processing an order, then we will use this information to contact you.
Subscriptions
If you sign up for newsletters, podcasts or other subscription services, we may request certain Personal Information from you on the order form (if applicable). You are required to provide contact information (such as name and email address) and where applicable, financial information (such as credit card information, expiration date).
Surveys
From time to time, we may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys or contests on our site. If you participate, we will request certain Personal Information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary. Therefore, you have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code).
This information will be used to improve our site and to better understand the trends and needs of our audience and to personalize the site.
We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys; that company is prohibited from using our users’ Personal Information for any other purpose. We will not share the Personal Information you provide through a survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.
Online Referral
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend or a business associate about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s (or associate’s) name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. COMPASS POINT ASSOCIATES uses this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. We will not make contact again unless it is requested directly by the individual.
