Inquiries and Emails

Inquiries and training registrations sent to MarkRiordan.com, JMarkInc.com, JMarkConsulting.com and other linked websites, all owned by Mark Riordan and used for the promotion of Mark Riordan and his company, JMark Consulting Inc., require you to provide JMark Consulting Inc. with personal details that may include name, address, telephone numbers and emails.  These items will be sent to us in an email and will also be retained on our server.  However, we won't share any of this information with anyone except for our employees and necessary contractors and to others only under certain extraordinary circumstances described below.

Inquiries that arrive at the inbox of JMark Consulting employees will have some or all of the personal information described above.  JMark Consulting retains most of the email messages received, therefore your personal information will likely remain on record in email archives.  These archives are stored on servers owned by third-party providers contracted to JMark Consulting Inc. and are only as reasonably secure as email servers are in general.  These archives may also be retained on computers owned by Mark Riordan and by JMark Consulting inc. and reasonable, though non-published, methods are in place to physically secure said computers.

Financial information such as credit card information for payment to JMark Consulting Inc. is required to be handled by fax, postal mail, or by telephone thus insuring that such transactions are outside the Internet realm, and are not subjected to this privacy policy.  Please do not send such information by unencrypted email as its privacy and security cannot be reasonably assured.

According to our interpretation of the above law, which we are bound to abide by, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information in the following two extraordinary circumstances: (a) If we believe, in good faith, that we are required to do so by the above law, or (b) if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to defend our website's infrastructure or legal rights.  We assume, upon receipt of your emailed inquiry or registration information that you agree to these privacy terms.

Threatening and/or Abusive Communications

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, we reserve the right to collect, disclose, and/or publicize personal information about anyone who sends a threatening or abusive communication, in any format or by any medium, to us or any of our employees, contractors, or family members.  We will not honor requests for privacy attached to any such communications, notwithstanding those emails which are governed by the above Texas Private Security Act statute.  Please rest assured that any and all of these type communications will be investigated fully both by JMark Consulting Inc. and by the appropriate law enforcement agency and criminal charges will be pursued vigorously.
