Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

The Santa Fe MPO takes your privacy seriously, and has published this Privacy Policy to explain how it treats all information you may submit to the Site. The Santa Fe MPO maintains high professional standards with regard to the confidentiality and protection of user privacy.

COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION The collection of personally identifiable information is required in order for the Santa Fe MPO to provide The Santa Fe MPO Services. However, The Santa Fe MPO does not share your personally identifiable information with any other party except in the provision of The Santa Fe MPO Services with notice to you identifying such other party by name, location, and contact. The following are certain situations in which The Santa Fe MPO may collect personally identifiable information about you:

1. 1. In order to use the Santa Fe MPO Services, you must transmit, submit or post personally identifiable information. The Santa Fe MPO will collect that information you provide and use it to provide The Santa Fe MPO Services. The Santa Fe MPO retains this information as necessary to process payments, resolve disputes, provide customer support and troubleshoot problems as permitted by law and pursuant to the Terms of Use.
2. The Santa Fe MPO may collect personally identifiable information from you to register you for an electronic mailing list. When you register online with the Santa Fe MPO asks for personally identifiable information such as your name, address, e-mail address, occupation, industry, and other demographic information.
3. If you send the Santa Fe MPO personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, or if other users or third parties send the Santa Fe MPO correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, the Santa Fe MPO may choose to collect such information into a file specific to you.

USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

The Santa Fe MPO uses your personally identifiable information to provide the Santa Fe MPO Services. Your personally identifiable information may also be aggregated and used by the Santa Fe MPO for market research, project planning, troubleshooting problems, detecting and protecting against error, fraud or other criminal activity, to enforce the Santa Fe MPO’s Terms of Use, for other internal purposes, and as otherwise described to you at the time of collection. The Santa Fe MPO will obtain your consent for any use of your personally identifiable information beyond the original uses for which you provided your consent.

You agree that the Santa Fe MPO may use personal information about you to improve its marketing and promotional efforts, analyze site usage, improve its Content and Services, customize the Content and layout of the Site, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. You also agree that the Santa Fe MPO may use your personal information to contact you and deliver information to you that may be targeted to your interests, such as administrative notices and communications correlative, or relevant to your use of the Site. By accepting the Terms of Use, including this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
The Santa Fe MPO does not share, loan, rent or sell your personally identifiable information except as required to provide the Santa Fe MPO Services. The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide the Santa Fe MPO Services:

1. The Santa Fe MPO may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, the Santa Fe MPO does not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally. Information such as your name, e-mail address, password, and credit and banking information, are not disclosed to these third parties in a personally identifiable manner without your explicit consent.
2. There may be services offered by third parties that the Santa Fe MPO refers to as third party service providers that may be complementary to your use of the Site. If you choose to use these third party services, disclose information to third party service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by the privacy policies of such third parties. The Santa Fe MPO does not disclose your personally identifiable information to third party service providers unless you provide your explicit consent. With your consent, the Santa Fe MPO may provide some of your personal information to third party service providers offering such services, for your convenience. To prevent the Santa Fe MPO’s disclosure of your personally identifiable information to a third party service provider, you can decline such consent or simply not use their services. Because The Santa Fe MPO does not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to use their services.
3. The Santa Fe MPO may use third parties that the Santa Fe MPO refers to as “internal-service providers” to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the Santa Fe MPO Services, business, or operations (e.g., technology, newsletters/alerts, analytic tools, advertising management), and therefore the Santa Fe MPO may provide some of your personal information directly to these internal service providers. These internal service providers are subject to confidentiality agreements with the Santa Fe MPO and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information the Santa Fe MPO provides to them for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced the Santa Fe MPO -related operation, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for additional uses. In some instances, the internal-service provider may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the internal-service provider, and all additional information you provide them and their additional uses will be strictly up to you. If you provide additional information to an internal-service provider directly, then their use of your personally identifiable information is governed by such service provider’s privacy policy.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Santa Fe MPO reserves the right (and you authorize the Santa Fe MPO) to share or disclose your personally identifiable information when the Santa Fe MPO determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of your personally identifiable information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against you if:

1. You are or may be violating this Privacy Policy or other Terms of Use
   
2. You are interfering with another’s rights or property, including, without limitation, the Santa Fe MPO’s rights or property;
3. You are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
4. Necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
5. Requested by authorities in the event of any act of terrorism or instance of local, regional or national emergency.

Personally identifiable information and other personal information collected from you may also be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization, other transfer or bankruptcy (a “Transfer”) involving the Santa Fe MPO and/or its affiliates. The Santa Fe MPO specifically reserves the right to transfer personally identifiable information collected from the Site, and any of its databases, together with any personally identifiable information contained therein, to a third party in connection with a Transfer, and nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with the ability of the Santa Fe MPO to transfer all or part of its business and/or assets (including its URL and the Site) to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any purpose, without any limitation whatsoever.
In addition, due to the existing regulatory environment, the Santa Fe MPO cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), the Santa Fe MPO may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although the Santa Fe MPO uses industry standard practices to protect your privacy, the Santa Fe MPO does not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private.
