FireShowsWest First Responders Training and Education Foundation, a 501c3 non profit corporation,  dba as FireShowsWest is committed to protecting the privacy of all those who provide us with their contact information while using our websites, products, events, or services (“you” or “Users”). This policy describes the ways that personally identifiable and anonymous information about our users, and event registrants is collected, how that information might be shared, and how someone can request changes to the way their personal information is used or shared.

This policy applies to all visitors of FireShowsWest websites, meetings/trade shows, webinars, e-newsletters, videos, blogs, digital networks, social media, etc.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect personally identifiable and/or anonymous information from you in the course of your use of our websites, events, or services (“Services”) as further described in this Privacy Policy. 

Personally identifiable information is information that can identify you, such as your full name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and fax number. In some cases, you will provide information to us to fully utilize our services. In other cases, information about you or your activities on our Services may be automatically collected, as further described below.

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
We collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us when you sign up for email newsletters or promotions; enter a contest; participate in surveys; register for a website, webcast, mobile application, tradeshow or other online or in-person event; or otherwise communicate with us or interact with our sites. We also may receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information you have provided to us.
FireShowsWest is not responsible for the information you volunteer about yourself in publicly accessible interactions, or the information that you choose to provide to sponsors or exhibitors during in-person events (i.e., allowing vendors to scan your registration badge in the trade show exhibit hall) or by opting-in to receive company information during a sponsored webinar.

HOW WE USE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION
We may use your contact information to send you account notices, including event updates or registration confirmations, and to provide you with information about information or services you have registered for or which may be of interest to you. We may also use your contact information to ask for input about our services, events, or information.

We may also send you e-newsletters with targeted, relevant content. Each e-newsletter will provide you with an opportunity to unsubscribe from the e-newsletter. Unsubscribing from one newsletter will not affect delivery of other services or registration.

We use the information we collect only in compliance with this Privacy Policy. 

We Never Sell Personal Information
We will never sell your Personal Information to any third party. 

Use of Personal Information
In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may use your Personal Information to:
--Improve your browsing experience by personalizing the Websites;

--Send information or FireShowsWest content to you which we think may be of interest to you by post, email, or other means and send you marketing communications relating to our business;

--Promote use of our services to you and share promotional and information content with you in accordance with your communication preferences;

--Provide other companies with statistical information about our users -- but this information will not be used to identify any individual user;

--Send information to you regarding changes to our Refunds/Terms Policy, Privacy Policy (including the Cookie Policy), or other legal agreements to meet legal requirements.
​
We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you.   In those cases, we do not transfer your Personal Information to the third party.

INFORMATION WE SHARE WITH THIRD PARTIES
We may provide personally identifiable information to those acting as our agents in providing our products and services, including third-party companies we have employed to provide us with specialized services, including information verification, postal mailings, email and fax deployment, and other information services. In compliance with privacy laws, we also provide our opt-out lists to those third-party companies so that they can be suppressed from the communications those companies send on behalf of FireShowsWest.

From time to time our advertisers/sponsors/exhibitors wish to receive information detailing user engagement with content, or contact our customers who may have indicated an interest in the products, services or events for which the advertiser/sponsor/exhibitor is associated. If you register for products or services offered by such sponsors or third parties, or for events sponsored in whole or in part by a third party, or otherwise opt-in to permit us to share your personally identifiable information, then you may receive communications directly from such third parties. If you provide information on a co-branded site or while using a co-branded service, you grant us permission to share the information you have provided with that service or site partner. Their use of your information is subject to their privacy policies and we urge you to read those policies and be aware of their privacy practices before registering.

Should you attend one of our sponsored events, we may provide the personal information you provide to us to vendors also attending the event upon receiving written authorization from you to do so.   If you do NOT wish to have your email address shared, you will be given an opportunity to opt-out.

INFORMATION TRANSFER
FireShowsWest is based in the United States of America. Any information you provide may be stored and maintained in a secure database in the United States or transferred to a secure database outside the United States. By providing us with your information, you consent to this transfer.

In the case of a change of ownership or a merger involving FireShowsWest, your contact information associated with this business would be one of those transferred assets. Users should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal information to be shared or transferred to third parties without permission.

HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
We use reasonable precautions, including appropriate technical, administrative, and physical procedures, to protect personal information from loss, misuse, or alteration.
​
When we contract with other companies to provide us with services, we only share personal information with those that we believe share our commitment to privacy and information security. However, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of these parties.

Due to the design of the Internet and other factors outside our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.

INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY AND OUR USES OF SUCH INFORMATION
Like most website operators, we use cookies (small data files stored on your computer by your web browser upon visiting a website), web beacons, and similar technologies to operate our services efficiently and as intended. Through such technologies, we gather information about you, such as your browser type, operating system, IP address, mobile device identification number, the sites visited before and after our Site, and about your interactions with our services, such as the time and date when you viewed a page, which advertisements you have clicked on, and whether you filled out an online form. You may set your browser to block all cookies, including FireShowsWest while using our services, but doing so will prevent some aspects of our services to not function properly). You may also set your browser to block third-party cookies and allow first-party cookies, which would allow us (but not third parties) to collect such information while you are on our sites. In addition, some browsers may allow you to block certain web beacons and similar tracking codes. Please refer to your browser’s documentation if you wish to block some or all cookies, web beacons, and/or similar tools.

We use information gathered through these tools to improve the way our website works, for example by employing third-party analytics tools which aggregate anonymous user information to help us better design our sites and enhance the functionality of our services.   For example, by remembering preferences or other choices that you make - such as user names, language preferences, and the like – we can better understand how you use our website over time. In short, these tools allow us to provide you with a better, more relevant online experience. We may also work with third-party advertising companies to suggest advertisements from the services or on third-party sites based on your preferences.


THIRD PARTY COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Like many other organizations, we may use outside marketing companies to place and monitor advertisements or links on our websites. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (links clinked on during a visit, browse type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked on or scrolled over) and personally identifiable information (e.g., NPI number) during your visits to our websites in order to provide advertisements about information and services likely to be of interest to you.

Certain third parties may also employ cookies, web beacons, and/or similar technologies on our Services. Information collected through such third-party tools is gathered directly by such third party, not by FireShowsWest and is subject to such third party's applicable privacy policy. FireShowsWest does not have any control over such third-party tools. These third parties include, but are not limited to, analytics partners who help us better understand how our users are interacting with our Services and advertising, providers of widgets and other third-party applications that may appear in our Services, ad servers, ad networks, and advertisers. You should visit these third parties' sites if you want to learn more about their privacy practices. In addition, as noted above, you may set your browser to block third-party cookies. Finally, you may visit the industry websites described in the next section to learn more about the privacy practices of a wide range of ad networks and data companies and to exercise certain opt-out options made available there.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

No one under the age of 13 should provide any personal information or participate in any forums, chats, or online discussions.

Please discourage your children from providing any personal information about themselves to anyone in any public discussion areas.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the “last updated” date below. For changes to this Privacy Policy that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of your personal information, we will attempt to notify you by email of the change. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. If you continue to use our site or services after we have attempted to contact you about material changes to the Privacy Policy, we will assume that you agree to the changes.

We post customer testimonials and comments on our Websites, which may contain Personal Information. We obtain each customer's consent via email prior to posting the customer's name and testimonial.

USE OF CREDIT CARD INFORMATION  
If you give us credit card information, we use it solely to collect payment from you. We use a third-party service provider to manage credit card processing. This service provider is not permitted to store, retain, or use information you provide except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on our behalf.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We secure the Personal Information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. All Personal Information is protected using appropriate physical, technical and organizational measures.

SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES
Our Websites include Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button and Widgets, such as the Share This button or interactive mini-programs that run on our sites. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our sites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these features.  Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy and other policies of the companies providing them.

​EXTERNAL WEBSITES

PUBLIC FORUMS
On occasion, we may offer publicly accessible message boards, blogs, and community forums.
