Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

I am the sole owner of the information collected on this site. I only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give via email or other direct contact from you. As such, I will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

I will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted me. I will not share your information with any third party outside of my organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request.

Unless you ask me not to, I may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Registration

In order to use this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration, a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about elements related to the website which you have expressed interest.

At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required.

Sharing

Given the nature of this blog, it is unlikely I will ever share personal or demographic information with third-parties. In the event I add affiliates or other third-party services, it is at your discretion to offer information to said party.

Security

I take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever I collect sensitive information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to me in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While I use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, I also protect your information offline. As I am the sole operator of this site, no one has access to your information outside of the Internet. The computers/servers on which I store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Cookies

I use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site.

For instance, when I use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on the site. Cookies can also enable me to track and target the interests of users to enhance their experience on my blog.

Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on the site.

Some of my business partners may use cookies on the site (e.g., advertisers). However, I have no access to or control over these cookies.

Links

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. I encourage users to be aware when they leave the site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time, the site requests information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information.

Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). 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 site.
