Privacy Policy

This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for the SPH Analytics web site. Because this web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, we disclose our information practices and comply with industry-accepted privacy practices.

If you feel that SPH Analytics is not abiding by this posted privacy policy, you may contact us at info@sphanalytics.com or by regular mail at: SPH Analytics, Inc. 4150 International Plaza, Suite 900, Fort Worth, TX 76109, or by telephone at 817.665.7000. We will acknowledge your inquiry and attempt to resolve your concerns.

Information Collection and Use

SPH Analytics is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. SPH may collect information from our users at several different points on our web site.

Surveys

Our site may request information from users via a survey. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level, etc.). Survey information will be used only for purposes outlined in the survey itself. In some cases, permission may be requested to share certain details with a trusted business partner, but no personally identifiable information will be shared with a third-party without the individual’s permission.

If Personally Identifiable Information is provided to this Site, the user explicitly agrees to our collection and usage of such information as described in this Privacy Policy. When you register to post or purchase products on our site, you are consenting to share the Personally Identifiable Information with other potential buyers/sellers so that they may contact you. You also consent to our making your email addresses available to other reputable organizations whose products or services we think you may find interesting.

Log Files

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. In general, you can visit SPH Analytics’s web site (the "Site") without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the email addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, etc. SPH Analytics utilizes this information ("behavior profiles") to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content of our Site. We may share with third parties experiential information or other data which does not personally identify users of our site. This might include product or service preferences of all visitors to our site, for example.

In addition, we may use third party services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor and analyze log information, but no personally identifiable information is available to these tools.

However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site. We use cookies to track the portions of our Site you visit. We do NOT use cookies to examine your surfing behavior before or after you leave our Site.

Sharing

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Home Page so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we may disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email.
