PROSTAR PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy is effective as of June 28, 2013.
The following definition applies to the terms as they appear in this agreement:
ProStar means ProStar Coach, the database software used in creating
this service and all versions of the service, including, but not limited to Strong
for Parenting, Strong for Mentoring Youth, Strong for Mentoring Athletes, Strong for Mentoring Students, Strong for Life, Strong for Achievement, Strong for Performance and
ProStar Coach Enterprise.
While using ProStar, you’ll enter information related to your own self-development.
So it’s important that you feel totally comfortable and reassured about the privacy
of your information.
We want you to know that your privacy, confidentiality and security are protected
by redundant physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, which exceed the standards,
laws and regulations that assure protection.
The bottom line is that no one has access to your personal information, except for
authorized technical personnel who maintain the programs that use the data to deliver
the services you request. The ProStar 100% Privacy Promise, which applies to all
employees, restricts the use of customer information and requires that it be held
in strict confidence:
- We will ask for only the information that is needed to give you the services you
request.
- Any personal information you enter will be used only to give you the services you
request.
- We will never give, rent or sell any item of your personal information to any person,
organization or web site for any purpose without your permission—not now or at any
time in the future.
We carefully protect the confidentiality of your personal information using password
protocols, program procedures, a state-of-the-art firewall, and encryption programs.
Here is a complete list of the protections:
- A private, personal password created and known only to you to enable
login and to prevent anyone else from accessing your account or seeing any of the
information on your pages.
- Your password can’t be hacked or stolen because we don’t store it. Instead, we use
a one-way encryption system for security.
- A dedicated server for all information in the ProStar database.
- A hardware firewall device for the ProStar database server with
all non-essential ports disabled. As a result, the public Internet is denied access
to the database.
- Restricted server access. Physical access to the server, its ports
or wiring is denied, except to authorized personnel or people escorted by authorized
personnel.
- Encryption of the transmission of personal information and other
data. Also, all internet transmissions containing personal information are SSL encrypted
(https).
- VIRUS protection and prevention programs are continuously upgraded.
- Power backups are in place to maintain service and protect your
personal information during outages.
- Digital data backups are in place to safeguard your personal information
at secure off-site facilities.
- Disaster recovery protocols are in place to protect your personal
information in case of a disaster.
- Everywhere on ProStar, all data input is “sanitized.” This means
that any executable script entered into ProStar is automatically changed to text
to prevent hackers from inserting viruses or malicious programs and other database
attacks.
In the highly unlikely event of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or
integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored personal data, we will make
any legally-required disclosures to you via email or conspicuous posting on this
site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent
with (1) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (2) any measures necessary to
determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data
system.

By using the ProStar service you consent to our processing of your information as
set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us. "Processing" means using
cookies on a computer or using information in any way, including, but not limited
to, collecting, storing, deleting, using, combining and sharing information within
the strict limits of our Privacy Policy, all of which activities will take place
in the United States. If you reside outside the U.S. your personally identifiable
information will be transferred to the U.S., and processed and stored there under
U.S. privacy standards. By visiting our site and providing information to us, you
consent to such transfer to, and processing in, the US.
