The ICAI Web site uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize ICAI pages, or register with ICAI site or services, a cookie helps ICAI to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same ICAI Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ICAI features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the ICAI services or Web sites you visit.
ICAI secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. ICAI secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
ICAI will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. ICAI encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how ICAI is protecting your information.
ICAI welcomes your feedback regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe that ICAI has not complied with this Statement, please contact the concerned ICAI department. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly investigate and address the issue.
