We track the Internet addresses of the individuals who visit our site to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement and gather broad demographic information, but this data is not linked in any way to individual personally identifiable information. The information we collect creates a broad picture of our population and is used to continually refine our courses, identify the most popular areas of our site and improve our services.

Individual Course Registration
Careersinmusic.ca collects basic contact information (such as name, address, phone number and email address) when you register for any course on our site, including our free sampler courses. Upon registration, you must specify a Student ID and Password that enables you to access a restricted area of Careersinmusic.ca 's site, (the "Courses") where the course(s) you have registered for is/ are stored. An email confirming your Student ID and Password will be sent to you as soon as payment for the course(s) is received by Careersinmusic.ca. Once this confirmation email is received, you may begin to access your Courses immediately. Your personal information is only used for Careersinmusic.ca's internal administrative and identification purposes. We do not share your information with any third party. Personal information is stored on Careersinmusic.ca computers and is only accessed by authorized Careersinmusic.ca personnel.

Employer-Sponsored Course Registration
Careersinmusic.ca also collects basic contact information (such as name and email address) and asks you to specify a username and password when you register for a Careersinmusic.ca course through your employer. In addition, there are 10 employer-specific information fields that your employer may request that you complete in the registration process. If you are accessing a Careersinmusic.ca course through your employer, you should know that all information gathered by Careersinmusic.ca may be revealed to your employer. For example, your employer may track your progress through the course and receive reports of your tests and exercises. This privacy policy does not extend to the use of your personal information by your employer.

Changing Your Personal Information
We will provide you with the means to update or change your personal information. You may review and update your student profile at any time by entering your Locker and clicking the "Set your Preferences" link.

Password and Student ID
You must enter your Student ID and Password every time you access your Courses. Your Password and Student ID serve as your personal key to Careersinmusic.ca courses. Without this information, no other student or site visitor can access your Locker or course scores. Lost Passwords may be retrieved automatically by navigating to the Courses login page and selecting the "Forgot your Student ID or Password?" link. You can change your Password at any time by entering your Courses and selecting the "Set your Preferences" link.

Cookies
Careersinmusic.ca uses a cookie to store your login name. A cookie is a small text file, stored in memory on your computer, that can be read by our system when you return to our site. The cookies are encrypted and are used to keep track of you as you move through our site and the courses. Cookies provide you the ability to re-enter a course without retyping your password and the ability to return directly to your last accessed page in the course for a specific, predetermined period of time. While cookies allow you ease of use by entering your Password less frequently, there are no functional differences if the site is accessed and used with the cookies disabled.

Chat and Discussion Areas
Careersinmusic.ca hosts chat and discussion groups in our course environment. Any information divulged in this area may be observed by other students and is not secure. Your actual email address will be masked within the Careersinmusic.ca  course environment so that your student email address appears similar to: "yourStudentID"@careersinmusic.ca. This format is used to ensure that other students cannot obtain your actual email address by simply enrolling in a course. Emails from other students will be automatically forwarded from your careersinmusic.ca mailbox to your actual email address. If you wish to preserve the privacy of your actual email address, you must reply to those messages from within the Careersinmusic.ca.

Encrypted Credit Card Purchases
If you use a credit card to purchase a Careersinmusic.ca course, the credit card number is encrypted as it passes over the Internet. Your credit card number is not kept by Careersinmusic.ca or our computers. Once your transaction has been completed, your credit card information is erased. In this respect, buying a course from Careersinmusic.ca is similar to a credit card purchase at any store. Careersinmusic.ca does not keep your credit card number on file.

In addition, we are sensitive to the fact that some users are uncomfortable submitting their credit card number over the Internet, no matter how secure the environment. For this reason, it is also possible to register for any of our courses by phone or by printing out the course registration form and then faxing or mailing it to our offices with your payment. Due to mailing time, this method delays receiving course access to the registered, but offers an alternative secure method of payment.

Course Evaluations and Surveys
All Careersinmusic.ca courses include periodic quizzes and exercises to monitor your mastery of the material presented. If you are taking the course individually, the scores on these assessments are stored with your personally indentifiable information and are only accessed by authorized Careersinmusic.ca personnel. If you are accessing the course through your employer, your progress on the completion of the course and scores on its assessments may be relayed to your employer.In addition, we require you to complete a survey at the conclusion of the course. This survey solicits your feedback and overall impression of the course. The answers you provide to the survey are only disclosed to authorized Careersinmusic.ca personnel and are only used to help us improve our courses.

Communication
At the time of registration, you may elect to receive additional communication from Careersinmusic.ca regarding new courses, promotions and certain other targeted information. You may choose to discontinue receipt of these communications at any time by simply following the instructions to unsubscribe included at the bottom of all such distributions.

Mentor Response System
Careersinmusic.ca employs subject matter experts ("Mentors") to evaluate Student responses to examinations, as well as respond to course-related questions. This communication is initiated with a system-mediated email exchange. Student information is masked by the system during the initial roundtrip request-reply transaction, however subsequent communications between a Student and Mentor on the same subject occurs outside of the system boundary and does not provide any masking of Student or Mentor personal information (including name and email address).

Constant Network Vigilance
Careersinmusic.ca 's network administration team constantly monitors our security systems to make sure that your student account is safe and secure. All of your information exists within our secure corporate environment. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example: database administrator batch-enrolling students) are granted access to the personally identifiable information.Further, all Careersinmusic.ca employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy policies. At company meetings, as well as at the time new policies are adopted, employees are notified and/ or reminded about the importance we place on ensuring privacy and vigilantly protecting our customers' information.
