Introduction
This privacy statement applies to TransitFare & Systems (TransitFare). The primary purpose of TransitFare’s website is to be a dynamic source of information and to help you evaluate solutions, services and expertise that we can offer to help you address your transit management needs. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit.
What information is gathered?
As a visitor, you do not have to submit any personally identifiable information in order to use the TransitFare & Systems website (“TransitFare website”). Personally identifiable information is not collected via the TransitFare website unless it is specifically and voluntarily provided by you. Such information may consist of, but is not limited to, your name, current job title, company address, email address and telephone and fax numbers. Throughout our site, we provide the opportunity to register for an event or conference, order a white paper, participate in an online survey, or contact us for additional information.
We do collect non-personally identifiable information indirectly. One example of information we collect indirectly is through our Internet access logs. When you access TransitFare’s website, your Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs. We collect information directly from you in a number of ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information which save and retrieve information about your visit to transitfare.com — for example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser.) However, under specific circumstances, you may be denied access to some parts of the TransitFare website if your browser is set to decline cookies.
How is this information used?
Personally identifiable information submitted via the TransitFare website is used only for limited purposes. For example, when you register for an event or conference, order a white paper, participate in an online survey, or contact us for additional information, the information you submit may be used to respond to you: to create a personal profile that will allow TransitFare to manage our relationship with you, such as providing you with information we feel would be of interest to you or to facilitate responding to further requests or inquiries from you: or to personalize your website experience. In addition, the webmasters may, where necessary, use your information for various site related tasks.
You may at any time request to be removed from emails or other communications generated in response to your registration on the TransitFare website.
Is any information shared with outside parties?
We work with partners and companies across the world, and data we collect may be transferred internationally across our company and / or to our partners and advisors. We never sell individual information and will share it only with our advisors. There will be other times when we need to share information, for example, in the case of an event where we need to provide our caterer with meal preference information or to create participant name tags. But again, before you submit any information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for specific information and it is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.
Where appropriate, personally identifiable information may be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory or other government agencies, or third parties where necessary or desirable to comply with legal or regulatory obligations or requests or for the purposes identified above.
Data security
We have in place reasonable commercial standards of technology and operational security designed to protect all personally identifiable information provided by visitors via the TransitFare website from unauthorized third party access. You should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended.
To summarize, we are interested in maintaining your privacy and creating a valuable resource for you to use. If you have any questions now or during your visit, please contact us.
