Privacy Policy Back to Previous Page I am committed to the privacy of personal information provided by those visiting and interacting with this website. I hold the privacy of your personal information in the highest regard. The following paragraphs disclose my information gathering and dissemination practices for my websites. I recognize the importance of protecting your privacy and my policy is designed to assist you in understanding how I collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to me and to assist you in making informed decisions when using my websites. This policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers' needs. Sharing and Selling Information I do not share, trade, rent, lend, lease, or sell any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) to or with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested. I hate SPAM too! Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out If you choose to provide me your email address, I may at times email you information and/or offers I think you might find interesting. You can Opt-Out / Unsubscribe from these emails at any time and you will not receive future messages. Most email we send comes with an Opt-Out / Unsubscribe link. Click that link, follow the instructions to unsubscribe, and I will discontinue sending you messages as soon as technically feasible. If you have any difficulty unsubscribing, send an email to david@RealHappinessSecrets.com from your subscribed email address requesting that your name be removed. What Information Do I Collect? When you visit this website you may provide me with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse the website. 1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide Registration Information When you register for any of the products, services or newsletters you will provide me information about yourself. The only registration information I request is your first name and email address. Email Information If you choose to correspond with me through email, I may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and my responses. I provide the same protections for these electronic communications that I employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone. Credit Card Information I do not collect or store any credit card information. I use secure a third party vendor (PayPal), to process payments. They do not share any of your credit card information with me. They just tell me if your payment was successfully processed. 2. Web Site Use Information Similar to other commercial websites, my websites utilize a standard technology called "cookies" (see the paragraph below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect information about how my websites are used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at the website, and the websites visited just before and just after my websites. How Do I Use the Information That You Provide to Me? Broadly speaking, I use personal information for purposes of administering my business activities, providing the products and services you requested, executing and improving my marketing and promotional efforts, improve the content and service offerings, and customize my website's content, layout, services, and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve the website and better tailor it to meet your needs. Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with parties except as required by law. Occasionally, I may also use the information I collect to notify you about important changes to my website, new services, and special offers I think you will find valuable. You may notify me at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing me at the link provided on every email I send. What Are Cookies? A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that website's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of my websites will not function as effectively when viewed by the users who allow cookies. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses. How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies? As you visit and browse my website, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, I also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with my web server's log files, allow me to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting my websites and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps me gather feedback to constantly improve my website and better serve you. Cookies do not allow me to gather any personal information about you and I do not intentionally store any personal information that your browser provided to me in your cookies. IP Addresses IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as "traffic data" so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you. How Can You Access and Correct Your Information? You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that I collect online and maintain in our database by emailing me. However, the only personally identifiable information I might have would be your first name and email address. What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information? I may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when I, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of my legal rights. I may also disclose account information when I have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating my Terms of Service or to protect the safety of my users and the Public. What About Other Web Sites Linked to My Web Site? I am not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from my websites or the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of my website. Please remember that when you use a link to go from my website to another website, my Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites, which have a link on my website, is subject to that website's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding. Your Consent By using my website you consent to my collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. I reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or without notice. Our Commitment To Data Security Please note that your information will be stored and processed on my computers in Canada, and my autoresponder service at GetRespone.com in the United States. The laws on holding personal data in these countries may be less stringent than the laws of your country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, I have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information I collect online. Surveys & Contests From time-to-time my website may request information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as postal or zip code, age level, etc.). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this website. A Special Note About Children Children are not eligible to use my services unsupervised and I ask that children (under the age of 16) do not submit any personal information to me. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with permission and guidance from your parents or guardians. Acquisition or Changes in Ownership In the event that the website (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred. Policy Modifications I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. I will post any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, I will not use the personal information you have submitted to me under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent. If you have any questions or concerns regarding my privacy policy please direct them to david@RealHappinessSecrets.com.
