This Privacy Policy details certain policies governing FTI’s
use of personally identifiable information about users of our Site
and the information and/or materials contained on this Site.
1. Privacy Policy Updates
Due to the Internet’s rapidly evolving nature, FTI may need to
update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If so, FTI will
post its updated Privacy Policy on our Site located at http://www.fticonsulting.com/web/floating/Legal.html so you may review what personally identifiable information we may collect
and how we may use this information. FTI encourages
you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. Your
continued use of this Site and/or continued provision of personally
identifiable information to us will be subject to the terms of the
then-current Privacy Policy.
2. Information Collection and Use
You can generally visit our Site without revealing any personally identifiable
information about yourself. However, in certain sections of this
Site, we may invite you to contact us with questions or comments or
request information or complete a profile or registration form. Due
to the nature of some of these activities, we may collect personally
identifiable information such as your name, title, company name, zip
code, e-mail address, password and other contact information that you
voluntarily transmit with your communication to us. We also may
collect information about you through your use of the Site.
We may use your personally identifiable information to register you
to use our Site, contact you to deliver certain information and/or
materials you have requested, verify your authority to enter our Site,
improve the content and general administration of the Site, provide
you with notices regarding products and/or materials that you have
purchased or may wish to purchase in the future and/or for targeted
advertising.
When processing personally identifiable information obtained from or
relating from our visitors that is transferred from the European Union
to the United States, FTI adheres to the principles and requirements
of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Safe Harbor Program. For

activities and interests. This Site is not intended for children
under the age of 13. FTI does not target this Site to children
under 13. FTI does not knowingly collect personally identifiable
information from children under the age of 13.
4. Cookies
We may use small text files called “cookies” to improve
overall Site experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the
user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies generally
do not permit us to personally identify you.
5. Aggregate Information
The Site may track the total number of visitors to our Site, the number
of visitors to each page of our Site, browser type, IP addresses, External
Web Sites (defined below) linked to, and we may analyze this data for
trends and statistics in the aggregate, but such information will be
maintained, used and disclosed in aggregate form only and it will not
contain personally identifiable information. We may use such
aggregate information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track
users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use.
6. Disclosure
We may provide your personally identifiable information and the data
generated by cookies and the aggregate information to the vendors and
service agencies that we may engage to assist us in providing the information
and/or materials contained on this Site to you. We will disclose
your personally identifiable information if we reasonably believe we
are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority. We
will not sell your personally identifiable information to any company
or organization except we may transfer your personally identifiable
information to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other
corporate reorganization in which FTI participates or to a purchaser
of all or substantially all of FTI's assets to which this Site relates.
7. Links to Third Party Sites
The Site may provide links to other Web sites or resources over which
FTI does not have control (“External Web Sites”). Such
links do not constitute an endorsement by FTI of those External Web
Sites. You acknowledge that FTI is providing these links to you
only as a convenience, and further agree that FTI is not responsible
for the content of such External Web Sites. Your use of External
Web Sites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies located
on the linked to External Web Sites.
8. Security
We may employ procedural and technological measures, consistent with
industry practice, to protect your personally identifiable information. Such
measures are reasonably designed to help protect your personally identifiable
information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration
or destruction. FTI may use password protection and other security
measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable
information. FTI is not, however, obligated to employ such measures
and makes no assurances thereof.
