Quick facts
- We do not sell, give away, or let others see the private information you give us.

Contact information and E-mails
Passport to Safety does collect your name and e-mail address when you register for the Passport to Safety test. We do this so that we can put your name on your Passport to Safety Transcript and Certificate and send them to you. This is the only time Passport to Safety uses your name.
Any information you provide us in forms, emails, or tests will be used anonymously.
We may also contact you at the e-mail address you provide to update you on new feature of the Passport to Safety or to ask you if we may use your information for a specialized research project.
If you do not want us to e-mail you, just let us know at info@passporttosafety.com.
Who will know about your registration
If your employer or your school has paid your membership fee, they will know when you have registered and if you have successfully completed the Passport to Safety test.
Our use of IP Addresses
An Internet Provider (IP) address is given to your computer whenever you go online. All web servers automatically record IP addresses.
Passport to Safety only uses IP address information to identify which country our users are from and which Internet Service Provider (ISP) they are using to access our site. The IP address could also be used to help an ISP identify users who are a threat to you or the web site (for example, those who threaten others or try to hack into our server.)
