How We Use Information Collected
The information we collect from our website visitors is used for regular business operations, improving services and for marketing. Review the situations below to see how we use the information we collect.
When you visit one of our websites we collect usage information and log data.
The information is used to create analytics reports which are used to improve our website(s) and the experience for our visitors. To compute the statistics used in these reports, usage information and log data are also shared with our analytics providers. Example: Google Analytics.
We also use log data to combat attacks against our web server or the applications we provide on our website(s).
Corexcel’s mailing list is used to disseminate information including, but not limited, to office closures, holiday hours, price adjustments, webinar announcements and special offers.
When you subscribe to Corexcel’s mailing list, limited contact information (name & email address), is stored on our third party mailing partner’s servers. This process happens automatically when you submit the subscription form. Each mailing list email contains an option to opt out. You give us explicit consent to continue sending emails to you if you choose not to opt out.
Forms on Corexcel’s website are used to help customers with specific issues or requests. Examples are our contact form which people use to ask questions or request additional information. Another example is our Onsite DiSC Training request form. This form is used to collect basic details about a program you would like to offer in the future and contact information.
When you submit a form through Corexcel’s website the information is stored on our web server. Your name and email address are also transmitted to our email service provider so you can be added to our mailing list. The results of your form submission are also emailed to our service team so they can respond to your request.
Corexcel's blog includes tips, tools and resources that relate to the products and services we offer. To comment on our blog, we require your name and email address (contact information). We use this information to validate visitors and to notify you if someone replies to your comment. However, you must opt in to allow us to store your name and email address in a cookie on your computer. A checkbox is included so you can do this while submitting your comment.
When you opt in, a cookie is saved to your computer with your information. The cookie ties your information to your comment.

Payments made through Corexcel.com for online courses, assessments or training materials are processed through our shopping cart which is provided by a 3rd party processor. Our shopping cart vendor sends the information you provide (contact information, account information and billing and payment details) to our payment gateway who works with various banks to process the payment. Your data is stored on our shopping cart vendor's servers. We regularly download this data and delete it from our shopping cart vendor’s servers. This process occurs at least once every four weeks.
As part of our accreditation guidelines, we are required to evaluate learning activities we offer. We use online forms to make this process as convenient as possible for our users.
When you submit a post-activity evaluation feedback form, your name, email address, IP address and comments (contact information & account information) are stored on our web server. An email is sent with the same information to our service team. Evaluation records are summarized and destroyed on a semi-annual basis. No personally identifiable information is kept once the summary is completed.
Protecting Information
Corexcel, and its authorized partners, take every appropriate measure to protect your information. We adopt strict data collection techniques, storage methods, processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information.

Due to accreditation guidelines set forth by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), we are required to keep student records for at least seven years. In the interest of the student, we keep these records indefinitely. This is so students can request transcripts or duplicate certificates well after they’ve completed a course.
Non-identifying information is removed after a period of time. In a few limited situations, some of the information we collect must be kept indefinitely due to legal requirements.
The sections below outline our data retention practices for each type of information.
