What Information Is Collected on this Site and How Is It Used?
When you access and use this Site, there are three ways we may collect information about you:
1. Information You Knowingly and Voluntarily Provide.
Adoptive Solutions collects the information you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use this Site, for
example, the information you provide when you request information, complete a survey, or e-mail us with
questions or feedback. In many cases, this information will identify you personally.
Adoptive Solutions uses the personal information you volunteer through this Site to provide the information,
services and products you request.
Unless you have "opted-out," we will add your contact information to our mailing lists and from time to time we will
send you newsletters or updates, special offers, or other information about programs, services and products we
believe would be of interest to you. You may "opt out" of receiving this information from us at any time by calling us
at 1-866-672-9632. If you are receiving e-mail from us and wish to unsubscribe, please click on the unsubscribe
link provided in the e-mail you receive from us.
If we provide promotional information or materials to you by e-mail, we will include a link to our "opt-out" page in
every e-mail.
Finally, we may study the personal information collected through this Site to improve our programs and services,
to improve the content, functionality, navigation, and usability of this Site; to better understand the needs and
interests of learners, alumni, and the other constituencies we serve; and to better market our programs, services,
and products. We may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical,
statistical, or scientific purposes.
2. Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser
Adoptive Solutions collects information that is sent to us automatically by your Web browser. This information
typically includes the IP address of your Internet service provider, the name of your operating system (such as
Windows® or Macintosh®), and the name and version of your browser (such as Netscape® or Internet Explorer®).
The information we receive depends on the settings on your Web browser. Please check your browser if you want
to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.
The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. Unless you access this Site through an
e-mail we have sent you or have created a "user identity" by creating an account during one of your visits, this
information will not be linked to information that identifies you personally. We use this information to create
statistics that help us improve our Site and make it more compatible with the technology used by our visitors.
3. Information Collected By Placing a "Cookie" On Your Computer
Adoptive Solutions may obtain information about you by installing a cookie on your computer's hard drive. A
cookie is a piece of Web code that is used primarily for one or more of the following: analysis of Web site traffic
and user behavior, application functionality, and data storage. We use two types of cookies: "session cookies" and
"persistent cookies."
We use "session cookies" to assign a randomly-generated unique identification number to your computer. A
session cookie does not identify you personally, and expires (i.e., is automatically deleted from your computer)
after you close your browser. We use session cookies to collect statistical information about the ways visitors use
our site — which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page. We analyze this
information (known as "clickstream data") to better understand our visitors' interests and needs and to improve the
content and functionality of our sites. We do not link this information with any information that identifies you
personally.
We use "persistent cookies" (cookies that do not expire when you close your browser) for several purposes. Like
session cookies, they are used to assign a unique identifier to your computer, but because they are persistent,
they permit us to recognize your computer each time you use it to access the Site. By using persistent cookies, we
can collect and analyze clickstream data from more than one visit to the Site. Cookies are also used to store
information you have previously provided such as your user ID or shipping address that can be displayed back to
you automatically each time you visit the Site. Persistent cookies remain on your computer until you delete them or
until they expire. Expiration durations vary and are set by Adoptive Solutions.
Finally, both types of cookies (persistent and session) are occasionally used to facilitate the proper functioning of
our applications and features of the Site.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is
placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit this Site, you may be
unable to use all of the functionality of the Site if your browser rejects our cookies.
Does Adoptive Solutions Share My Personal Data?
Adoptive Solutions may share personal information collected through this Site with companies and organizations
who perform certain functions on our behalf, for example, companies that provide support services to us or that
help us market our products and services (such as third-party education companies and colleges with whom we
have referral relationships). These third parties are required by contract to use the personal information we share
with them only to perform services on our behalf and to treat your personal information as strictly confidential. To
learn which third-party service providers we use, please contact us at (866)672-9632.
There are other limited circumstances in which Adoptive Solutions may share or transfer the personal information
in our databases to unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide personal information to a third party
when we believe it is necessary to comply with U.S. Department of State for Hague reporting requirements; to
prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to comply with a court order or subpoena;
to comply with a legal requirement; to enforce a contract; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Adoptive
Solutions, our users or others; to protect your vital interests; or in connection with a corporate sale, purchase,
merger, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar event. In particular, we exchange personal information in
our databases with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction purposes.
When we disclose information under these or similar circumstances, we will take appropriate steps to protect the
confidentiality of your personal information.
How Does Adoptive Solutions Protect Personal Information?
Although Adoptive Solutions cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration or
destruction of personal information, we take measures to prevent such occurrences. Our servers and databases
are protected by firewalls and passwords. In addition, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to encrypt
data as it travels between your computer and our servers. When you see a solid key or a locked padlock icon at
the lower portion of your browser window, this indicates that your transmission will be protected by SSL technology.
Does Adoptive Solutions Collect Personal Information From Children Through This Site?
Adoptive Solutions does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of eighteen
through this Site. If you are under eighteen, please do not give us any information that identifies you personally. If
you have reason to believe that your child has provided personal information to Adoptive Solutions through this
Site, please contact us, and we will use reasonable efforts to delete that information from our databases.
What About Other Sites That May Be Linked To This Site?
This Site contains links to Web sites that are owned and operated by unrelated third parties. For example, this Site
contains links to a wide spectrum of resources that may be useful to Learners. In addition, this Site contains links
to Web sites operated by third parties who provide services to Adoptive Solutions. For example, Adoptive
Solutions uses a third-party service provider to process credit card transactions. If you wish to make a payment by
credit card, we will ask you to click on a link that will take you to our service provider's Web sites.
This Privacy Statement applies only to personal information collected through this Site. It does not apply to
personal information collected on any other Web sites operated by Adoptive Solutions, nor to personal information
collected on our service providers' or other third-party Web sites. When you access other Web sites through a link
on this Site, please take a few minutes to review the terms of use and privacy statement posted on each Web site
you visit.

services, products, and information you request or as permitted by applicable law.

these databases are stored on servers and storage devices located in the United States. United States data
protection laws may not provide as much protection as the data protection laws in force in some other countries. If
you are located in a country outside the United States, by using this Site you consent to the transfer of your
personal information to the United States.
