Privacy Policy
H360ventures, LLC, doing business as PHRsToday (“PHRsToday”), the operator
of the PHRsToday.com website (the “Site”) is committed to protecting your
privacy. We believe it is important for you to know what information is
being collected about you, how that information is being used, with whom
it is being shared, and how to contact us if you have additional questions
or concerns. If you do not agree to the terms of this privacy policy, you
may not use the Site.
This privacy policy does not apply to ideas, inventions, business information,
or other content you send by email to PHRsToday. If you want any ideas,
inventions, business information, or other content to remain confidential,
do not send them to PHRsToday.
What information does PHRsToday gather/track, and how is it used?
Information gathered online can generally be categorized as either anonymous
or personally identifiable. Anonymous information is information that cannot
be traced back to a specific individual. For example, PHRsToday knows how
many searches are queried each day but does not know the names, e-mail addresses
or gender of the people searching. Personally identifiable information is
information that identifies, either alone or with other information, a particular
individual.
Gathering and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
PHRsToday gathers names, phone numbers, and email addresses, in response
to user request for contact. PHRsToday uses this information to respond
to user request for further information. PHRsToday does not gather information
which is provided by users in comments to blog posts. Except for names,
phone numbers, and email addresses, gathered by PHRsToday in response to
user request for contact, PHRsToday bears no responsibility for any matter
concerning personally identifiable information which a user may provide,
whether in a comment to a blog post or otherwise.
Gathering and Use of Anonymous Information
Each time a visitor comes to the Site, we collect some information to improve
the overall quality of the online experience, including product monitoring,
product improvement, and targeted advertising. At the Site, we collect,
among other things, the visitor's domain name (e.g. whether the user is
logged on google.com or yahoo.com), referral data (e.g., we record the URL
address of the last website a user visited prior to clicking through to
the Site), and browser and platform type (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer
8.0 browser on a Windows XP platform).
In addition to collecting these types of information, PHRsToday collects
aggregate queries for internal reporting and targeted advertising. We also
count, track, and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis of
general traffic flows at our sites (e.g. tracking where traffic comes from,
how traffic flows within the H360ventures properties, etc.). To these ends,
we may merge information about you into group data, which may then be shared
on an aggregated anonymous basis with our advertisers; but PHRsToday will
not disclose your individual identity or personal data without your permission.
If PHRsToday presents aggregated information to outside companies, no personally
identifiable information will be disclosed.
Emails
Under certain circumstances we will collect and store with our email service
provider an email address that you provide to us. For further information,
please see http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.
Except for information gathered in connection with a user providing contact
information on the site’s Contact Us page, the email addresses are not associated
with any other personally identifiable information. If you wish to correct
an email address, or delete an email address from PHRsToday’s records, please
contact
us.

from users while they are on the Site. If you click on an advertisement
on the Site and visit a site maintained by one of our sponsors or advertisers,
please be aware that PHRsToday is not responsible for the privacy practices
of those sites. You should read the privacy policies of each site you visit

be in the form of grouped statistics compiled from our users' answers to
survey questions and on-site behavior. PHRsToday will not disclose the contact
or demographic information of any individual user to advertisers or any
other outside organization without the express permission of the individual.

On occasion, PHRsToday will make available to potential advertisers and
research firms aggregated results from research it has conducted on its

aggregated anonymous basis and does not disclose individual member profiles
without user consent.
Internal Privacy and Security Policies
PHRsToday exercises commercially reasonable efforts to protect personally
identifiable information against loss, unauthorized access, disclosure,
