Privacy Policy
At ITSM Academy, your privacy is of the highest priority. We do not sell, rent, exchange or otherwise provide your personal information to any third party.
When you register for a course or examination, we obtain only the information needed to complete your transaction. We also obtain information about the services you have purchased. This information is used to complete your transaction, provide the services you have requested, keep you apprised of new products and offerings through our newsletter and improve our course selections and customer service. If you would rather not receive our newsletter, you may send an e-mail to info@itsmacademy.com with "unsubscribe" as the subject line.
When you use a credit card to register for a course or examination, we use Secure Socket Layering (SSL) to encrypt your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions. Making a credit card purchase online at itsmacademy.com is just as safe as making a credit card purchase over the telephone. If you would prefer to use the phone, just call or 954-491-3442.
While visiting itsmacademy.com, you may link to web sites operated by our business partners or other third parties. When you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that site, not the ITSM Academy privacy policy. We encourage you to read that policy before submitting any personal information.

We collect and process information on servers around the world.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against theft, loss, or misuse. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or storage can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure.
