Our Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting SPHERE’s website and for your interest in our organization. This notice describes what information is collected and how that information is used in accordance with the provisions of the Internet Security and Privacy Act, the Freedom of Information Law, and the Personal Privacy Protection Law. This notice describes SPHERE’s commitment to the privacy of your nonpublic personal information and the practices regarding information collected from users of this website.


SPHERE may collect nonpublic personal information from you when you voluntarily provide personally identifiable information through the website, such as when you submit your contact information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security.
