Advanced Training Products, Inc. ("we", "our", or "us") understands that privacy is important to our users. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, sharing, and protection of your personal information for the website located at www.advanctedtrainingproducts.com (the "Website"), the WIRE Certified Training provided by us, and the WIRE Algorithm (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy also tells you about the rights and choices you have with respect to your personal information, how you can assert those rights, and how you can contact us to get answers to your questions.

BY USING OR ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES OR PRACTICES, YOU SHOULD NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES OR PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

We use the term "personal information" – also called "personal data" or "personally identifiable information" in the laws of some jurisdictions – to refer to information that reasonably identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you. Data that has been deidentified or that otherwise cannot reasonably be related back to a specific person is not considered personal information. The precise definition of personal information may vary depending on your place of residence, but we take the same general approach to protecting your privacy, subject to any additional measures that may be required by applicable laws.

To use the Services, you must create an account with us, and provide your name, email address, WIRE Certification Number, and employment information.

When you use the Services, we collect information that you provide us with about employees in connection with the Workplace Impairment Recognition Evaluation being performed, which may include, but is not limited to: (i) the evaluator’s name, contact information, and employment information; (ii) subject’s name, estimated age, gender, racial/ethnic origin, and employment information; (iii) details about the subject’s behavioral observation; (iv) name and employment information of any corroborating witnesses; and (v) any other information you provide to us.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect and use the information that you input into the Services to compare and correlate it with the drug signs symptoms and indicators from authoritative guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institute of Health (NIH), and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and where applicable, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Based on the facts identified, the Services provide a summarized reference of that authoritative guidance and summarize these findings into a comprehensive deliverable for your use.

We also aggregate the information that you input in the system to provide summarized views to the appropriate government agencies about how the Workplace Impairment Recognition Evaluations are being used. Any such information we provide to government agencies does not identify you or your company as a user of the Services, any employees of your company, or contain any personal data.

We also use the personal information that you provide to communicate with you about the Services, for security and fraud prevention, to comply with our legal obligations, and to support core business functions.

To the extent that we collect non-personal information that does not personally identify an individual, we may collect, use, and disclose such information for any purpose permitted by law. In some instances, we may combine non-personal Information with personal information. If we combine any non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information to the extent that it is capable of personally identifying a particular individual. We reserve the right to develop and derive aggregate data (meaning information that relates to a group or category of individuals, from which individual identities have been removed) from personal information in order to enhance and maintain the Services, and such aggregate data will be treated as non-personal information.
