Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how personally identifiable information about you (“personal information”) is collected, used, disclosed and/or otherwise processed by Practice Interview Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (“Practice Interview”) (collectively, “we”, “our” or “us”).
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect about you when you:

- Request quotes, services, support, downloads, trials, whitepapers or information;
- Place orders for products or Services or register for events or webinars;
- Apply for credit or financing;
- Participate in surveys, sweepstakes or other promotional activities online or in any other venue;
- Subscribe to newsletters, programs, promotional emails or other materials;

Where we need specific consent to a form of processing, such as the collection of personal information regarding your location, or the use of your personal information for marketing, we will obtain such consent in the manner described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by law.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the “Last Updated” date at the bottom of this Privacy Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our homepage or by sending you a notification), and obtain your consent if required by law.

PARTNERSHIP

Students who interview using this code will receive the same service as if they purchased a single Practice Interview. Th school/program will be billed within fourteen (14) calendar days after their first day of class, or when the bill reaches $5,000; whichever comes first.
