Data Storage
Account Information
- When you register with thinktank or submit information to thinktank, a temporary copy of that information is routinely made to prevent accidental loss of your information through a computer malfunction or human error.
- thinktank keeps your account information active in our user registration databases in order to provide immediate access to your personalization preferences.
- If you ask Ramage Technologies to delete your thinktank account, in most cases your account will be deactivated and then deleted from our user registration database in approximately 90 days. This delay is necessary to discourage users from engaging in fraudulent activity.
- Please note that any information that we have copied may remain in back-up storage for some period of time after your deletion request. This may be the case even though no information about your account remains in our active user databases.
- The data and information entered specifically referencing programs (date, time, program description, program goals, budget, title, audience, learning outcomes, advertising description, advertising files, uploaded files, supplemental documents, timeline, and evaluations) into our library database while your account was open, will remain in our library database. This data will be searchable for reference to all current account holders who have subscribed to the 'open libarary' function of the thinktank.
Servers
- The computers (called "servers") that send your web pages and advertising banners process and store an enormous amount of information every day. These computer records are called “log files”
- Log files are used for analysis, research, auditing, and other purposes, as described above. After this information has been used, it is stored and is inaccessible. Until the information is stored, your thinktank ID may remain in our active server log files.
