Last Updated: February 7th, 2019

iMentor, Inc. (“iMentor” or “we”) is concerned about online privacy issues and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose your Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below). This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes our practices in connection with information that we collect through activities that link to this Privacy Policy including our website, located at http://www.imentor.org or http://www.imentor.com (the “Website”), our proprietary software platform, accessible via the Website, and any mobile sites, applications, widgets, and other mobile interactive features (collectively, our “Apps”), through other services that we may offer in connections with our Website and Apps, such as listservs and member programs, as well as through HTML-formatted email messages that we send to you (collectively, including the Apps and Website, the “Sites”).

Please note that this Policy does not govern the collection, use or disclosure of information by any third parties.

By using the Sites, you acknowledge that we may use and disclose certain information in accordance with this Policy. If you do not consent to this Policy, please do not provide any information through the Sites (which may mean that you are unable to use the Sites). We may change this Policy without prior notice. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when we last changed this Policy. Any changes to this Policy will become effective when we post the revised Policy on the Sites. Your use of the Sites following such changes means that you accept the revised Policy.

We gather two basic types of information through the Sites: Personally Identifiable Information and Other Information.

Personally Identifiable Information” (or “PII”) is information that identifies a person as a specific individual.

Other Information” is aggregated information, demographic information, IP addresses and any other information that does not identify a person as a specific individual.

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION:

Personally Identifiable Information We May Collect. You do not have to provide Personally Identifiable Information to use the Sites. However, in order to use certain features of the Sites (for example, to sign up to receive certain information regarding our mentoring programs and services), we may require that you provide Personally Identifiable Information.

We and our third-party service providers may collect Personally Identifiable Information such as:

  • Name
  • Mailing address
  • Telephone number
  • E-mail address
  • Bank account, credit card and debit card numbers
  • Other Personally Identifiable Information about you and third parties that you may choose to disclose (including by authorizing third parties to disclose) to iMentor or our third-party service providers, including by completing profile forms, applications, questionnaires or similar documents, communicating with customer service, and otherwise interacting with iMentor and its third-party service providers.

IF YOU SUBMIT ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION RELATING TO A THIRD PARTY TO US OR OUR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITES, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO AND PERMIT US TO USE AND DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS POLICY.

How We May Use Personally Identifiable Information. iMentor and its third-party service providers may use PII in the following ways:

  • Fulfillment of Requests: Fulfilling the purpose for which such PII was provided (for example, to provide customer service or to send information to you that you request regarding our mentoring programs and services).
  • Administrative Communications: Sending important information to you regarding the Sites, changes to our terms, conditions and policies and other administrative information. Because this information may be important to your use of the Sites, you may not opt-out of receiving such communications.

  • Promotions: Operating sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) through the Sites. We typically ask you for certain PII when you enter or win a Promotion. You should carefully review the rules, if any, of each Promotion in which you participate through the Sites, as they may contain additional important information about iMentor’s use of PII about you. To the extent that such rules concerning the treatment of PII about you conflict with this Policy, such rules shall control.

We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better serve you with more tailored information and facilitate your ongoing use of the Sites, as well as for online tracking purposes. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most devices that allows you to decline the use of cookies.
