INFORMATION COLLECTED BY PROALERT.US/TRS COMMUNICATIONS
ProAlert.us collects information about our customers in two ways...

INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PROALERT.US/TRS COMMUNICATIONS
Provided information refers to information that you are asked to or required to provide either via website, or by an administrator. In order to use the services ProAlert.us provides, you must become a Subscriber. To do so, we'll require you to enter information about yourself including name, address, phone number, and email address (among others). We use this information to better understand our target audience, develop new features, and to contact you if there is an issue with your account. All information you provide to us is done so under the terms of this privacy statement.

INFORMATION GATHERED BY PROALERT.US
Gathered information refers to information that you do not specifically provide to us, but we have the ability gather (via log files) or derive (from account information).

The ProAlert.us website will log the IP address of your computer, and the IP address of the website that you have visited. Server log files may be used to derive further information about your visit if necessary. Please read section II for a more detailed description of how we use the information we gather from you.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION INFORMATION
All information that you provide when creating your ProAlert.us account will not be given to third parties without your consent except in the limited circumstances described in the section of this privacy policy entitled SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION WITH OTHERS. Only certain fields are required when creating an account, and those are marked with an asterisk (*). The information you provide may be used by ProAlert.us/TRS Communications when doing demographic or market research. Once you have created an account, you may request changes in the information you provided ProAlert.us by clicking on the "Contact ProAlert.us" link on the left-hand side of the webpage.

CONTACT INFORMATION
Your contact information (contact phone number and contact email) is only used as a means of us reaching you when it is necessary to solve an account configuration issue or billing problem. Occasionally, and very rarely, ProAlert.us will send out email to members announcing scheduled downtimes, upgrades, new services, or requesting feedback. Your contact information may be used more frequently to notify you of an account configuration or status issue.

CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
Your credit card information is only stored when you choose to sign up for our automatic payment plan. Because of possible security issues, we currently do not allow users to view or modify their credit card information on-line.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION
In an attempt to better understand the needs of our customers, and evolve ProAlert.us to match their needs, ProAlert.us/TRS Communications reserves the right to analyze the information that you provide when creating profiles and deliveries, including, but not limited to, TAP numbers, selected counties, email domains, and selected bulletins. This data is often used in troubleshooting account or system problems. It is never shared with a third party, except in the cases when it is necessary to resolve an account problem. If we need to contact a service provider about your account, we will require you to give us your permission before sharing any information with them.

WEBSITE INFORMATION
IP Logging
An IP address is a number that is assigned by your Internet Service Provider to your computer to identify its location on their network. ProAlert.us logs your IP address when you first visit our site. This allows us to generate traffic statistics about our websites, troubleshoot problems, and perform administrative tasks on our network. Cookies

For example, when you log into ProAlert.us from one of our websites, you'll have the option of checking a box that says "Remember me". By doing so, your login and password will be saved to keep you from having to enter it each time you visit our site. Your browser gives you full control over whether to allow cookies or not. Disallowing all cookies may prevent some limited aspects of the website to work, such as the above described “Remember me” feature.

SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION WITH OTHERS
Under no circumstances will ProAlert.us/TRS Communications sell or otherwise provide any collected information to a third party without your consent except for the following instances: (i) unless required by applicable law or pursuant to a court or similar order; (ii) as deemed necessary, in ProAlert.us/TRS Communications discretion, to protect the legal rights or the property of ProAlert.us/TRS Communications, a member or third party, or to prevent personal injury; and/or (iii) in the event ProAlert.us/TRS Communications is required to transfer personally identifiable information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, assignment, joint venture or other transfer or disposition of a portion or all of the assets of ProAlert.us/TRS Communications or its affiliated entities (including, without limitation, in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
