The TRACOM Corporation, doing business as TRACOM Group (collectively, "TRACOM", "We", "Us", or "Our"), has a strong commitment to protect the rights and privacy of every person who participates in Our services. TRACOM never sells, leases, or rents personal data to anyone. This privacy policy applies to certain websites owned and operated by TRACOM and describes how TRACOM collects, processes, uses, secures, and shares the personal data you provide on these web sites: https://www.tracommax.com, https://www.tracomlearning.com, and https://www.tracomae.com, (collectively "TRACOM systems"). It also describes the choices available to you regarding Our use of your personal data and how you can access and update this information.
TRACOM relies upon the Standard Contractual Clauses (decision 2010/87/EU), which are in effect with each client organization, as a mechanism for transferring of personal data outside of the EU. TRACOM processes the personal data it receives, in The United States (U.S.).
Furthermore, TRACOM participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce. TRACOM is committed to subjecting all personal data received from European Union (EU) member countries, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, respectively, in reliance on the Privacy Shield framework, to the framework's applicable principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce's Privacy Shield List at https://www.privacyshield.gov/

TRACOM complies with the Privacy Shield principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.
With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield frameworks, TRACOM is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

We generally process the following types of Personal Data:
TRACOM delivers assessment and training services to Our clients. In the course of delivering these services, We gather personal data on or about individuals. Personal data includes, but is not limited to the following:
We also use personal data to authenticate authorized access to Our websites and to process the assessment data gathered into Learner Profile Reports, used by the Learners in group and individual training and coaching sessions. Your employer has contracted with TRACOM to make Our services available to certain individuals ("Learners") for their personal and professional development. If you are a Learner and do not wish to provide personal data, a sample Learner Profile Report can be made available to you. This will reduce the applicability of the information to you. If you have been asked to provide feedback about a coworker but do not wish to provide personal data, the Learner will not receive the benefit of your valuable feedback.
TRACOM uses technologies such as cookies or similar technologies within Our websites to analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about Our user base as a whole. We may use cookies, for example, to manage browser sessions and user preferences. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use Our website, but your ability to use some features or areas of Our website may be limited.
As is true of most websites, We gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data to improve Our services, analytics or site functionality.
We regularly analyze assessment and demographic responses, including ethnicity responses, and the results are used by TRACOM to update and validate Our assessments and are occasionally published, in summary form only, in research reports designed for general circulation. Individuals are never identified in these reports. Specific organizations are identified only if We receive prior written approval from the organization.
Personal data collected about or from an individual is considered confidential by TRACOM. Only authorized personnel (TRACOM Administrators and Facilitators, and client Administrators and Facilitators) have access to personal data. However, once individual Learner Profile Reports have been delivered to the client's Learners, Administrators, or Facilitators, these materials are no longer within the control of TRACOM.
The security of your personal data is important to TRACOM. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal data submitted to Us, both during transmission and once We receive it. When you enter personal data, We encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, We cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about the security of your personal data, you can contact Us at tracomlearning@tracom.com.
In the event of an asset sale, merger, consolidation, restructuring, reorganization, liquidation or other similar transaction involving TRACOM, We may transfer some or all personal data to the successor company. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on Our web site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal data, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal data.
We may disclose personal data when We believe such disclosure is required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process, when We believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect Our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request, or to any other third party with your prior consent.
