We use customer contact information from the registration details to send the user information about new content additions to the web site that are considered relevant by the user as well as special promotions related to learning, knowledge, networking and professional opportunities and services provided by our partners and affiliates. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

It is our policy to take reasonable measures to respect the privacy of our users. BRINT Institute will take reasonable measures to not disclose the contents of your communications unless required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce these terms and conditions; (iii) respond to claims that any content on BRINT web portals violates the rights of third-parties; or (iv) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of BRINT Institute, its users and the public.

Security This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.

Similarly, the registration information for the global community members is not shared with anyone else unless explicitly chosen by the specific member.
