Privacy and Security

We have created this statement in order to demonstrate MissouriBusiness.Net's firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices.

While it may seem like a lot of information is collected about you when you enroll for training seminars, much of this helps us customize or direct content to you that is personally interesting or pertains to your business. It also allows us to track online courses you have completed or are in the process of completing.

We may use your computer's IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information. Our site uses cookies to keep track of your shopping cart. Occasionally we use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and for other purposes.

This site contains links to other sites. MissouriBusiness.Net is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.

Our site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and services. We collect visitor's contact information (like their email address), unique identifiers (like their social security number), and financial information (like their account or credit card numbers). Contact information from the order form is used to send orders, information about our company, and promotional material from some of our partners to our customers. The customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services. Unique identifiers (such as social security numbers) are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.

Our online surveys may ask visitors for information about themselves and their businesses.

We may run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information (like their email address). We may use contact data from our contests to send users information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

Chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups may be available via this site to users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
