Collection, Disclosure, and Use of Personal Information
ASCEND is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our websites. Visitors can access some areas of the site without disclosing any personal information. ASCEND will only collect the information necessary to perform our functions in a fair, lawful, and non-intrusive manner, and only collect personal information when you provide it to us (such as name, email address, phone number). ASCEND may refer to this information in order to better understand your needs, to customize the website to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and to help us improve our products and services. ASCEND will not disclose, sell, rent, or exchange such personal information to any other organization or entity, other than service providers acting on our behalf, unless the user is first notified and expressly agrees to it or as otherwise required by law or as part of a merger or other corporate transaction.
As part of ASCEND’s commitment to privacy, the Google Analytics IP anonymization feature is employed. There is no tracking or storage of individual IP addresses at the user level as a means of data protection.
Any information gathered from Google Analytics or other plug-ins, which may include but is not limited to anonymized IP address of connection, time of visit, number of users/sessions on the site, average session duration, visit pages, or types of browsers will be deidentified or disposed of every 14 months. We also may retain information from Google Analytics or other plug-ins in aggregate form.
