Your privacy and the security of your confidential information are of paramount importance to us.
Consulting & Training Engagements
Bison Risk Management Associates (“Bison”)
will never disclose or distribute any of your information unless: (1) we receive your express authorization, or (2) we are
compelled to do so by a government entity through legal process (subpoena, etc.). Unless prohibited from doing so, we
will notify you of any law enforcement requests for your information to enable you to challenge the request if you so desire.
Your
non-public information will only be accessed by or be provided to, Bison employees, consultants or others that require your
information to perform their jobs or duties. Access is on an "as-needed" basis. Any non-Bison employees
or companies which Bison hires or engages, are required to have privacy policies that are at least as restrictive as those
of Bison.
The original work papers (notes taken by Bison or materials provided to Bison
prior to or during interviews or engagements) will all be returned to you upon completion of your engagement with Bison.
Bison will scan copies of these documents, and retain them in encrypted form on our servers under
AES 256 bit encryption levels. This is the highest level of commercially available encryption.
At your request, Bison will permanently remove/destroy the
retained copy of your reports and scanned work papers. Please understand that if you make this request of Bison, we
will no longer be able to provide you with additional copies of the report(s) or work papers in the future.
Any reports delivered to you by e-mail will be encrypted and password protected so they remain confidential until you retrieve
and decrypt them.
Email Lists
We
will never sell, trade, provide or barter your email address with any other business or entity. All of our email newsletter
lists provide you with the option to have your email address permanently removed from the list.
Visiting Our Web Site
We recognize and respect your need for privacy
and security as you visit our site. When you visit our site to view any pages or read product information, you do so without
telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. While we do not collect identifying information about
visitors to our site, we do use standard software to collect information for the strict purpose of tracking activity on our

service provider.
• The web site that referred you to us (if any).
• The
date and time the pages were accessed.
• The page or pages you requested.
There are
instances where you may elect to provide us with personal information. If you fill out one of our feedback or request forms
or send us email, you are transmitting the information that appears to you in the form or the message. This will typically
include information like your name, mailing address, email address, the kind of request you are making, and any other information
necessary to fulfill your request. You never transmit personally identifying information that you do not enter yourself. And
this is always your option; this information cannot be collected unless you specifically elect to send it to us. This information
is used internally only for the purpose of fulfilling the request or for contacting you directly and is not given or sold
to any other organization.
