How We Use SurveysWe strive to create a safe environment for all our web visitors. And to our best understanding of the law, go out of our way to adhere to US & international laws and best-practices of the web. This document has been written in a human readable format for you to be able to understand exactly what we are doing to ensure you have fun and be safe every time you visit. Most surveys ask for personal contact information, information about your business, and or how you operate it. You may choose NOT to respond to any survey. All surveys are optional to complete. Some of our content may be inaccessible to you if you choose to exercise your right to ignore a survey or omit any of its "required" fields. We maintain the right to use information that we collect to research and develop course materials, new products, training, and other promotional content. But we will never give access or sell any of your information to others not employed by us. However, bear in mind that we use 3rd party software services to store and maintain client information such as SurveyMonkey.com and Aweber.com (they provide the autoresponder & contact management services most online businesses need).
MembershipSigning up to our website in any survey form, whether paid or free, means we need to hang onto and store some kind of information that identifies you as the user. We do not cross-check with any public databases to find out other information about you without cause. And we only store whatever you put on file. Keep in mind, this website, like most others on the internet also uses Cookies. Together cookies and our contact management service allow us to determine your membership, the products and services you should have access to, and your preferences when browsing our website. We reserve the right to block certain information and areas of our websites from public access. And to only grant access to protected areas to visitors who a) either complete a required survey we've deemed substitute for payment or b) made a payment to gain membership. Currently there are no paid membership services in use on this website - if this changes, the document will be ammended appropriately.
How We Use Your E-Mail & PhoneWith your email address or phone number if we ever ask for them, this company will be the only ones who will use them to communicate with you. Since we are a business, we will not always be freely handing out helpful information by email---without some kind of selling agenda. There is no shame in admitting that most "free" information will be a demonstration or preview of products we want to entice you to buy. Again, you have the choice to remain unmoved by these incentives. And you are completely within your right to leach off of our best free training, tips, and tools to learn a lot of the things that will grow your business. In fact, you may just prefer to benefit from our promotional materials and never pay a cent for anything. To help cover our costs, however, we do often run promotions and send out emails about products available from certain partners. We do this to help you diversify your education and to make money when you do. We strive to make even the promotional emails entertaining and useful to our subscribers whether or not they choose to take us up on the offer. Emails are NORMALLY sent out at most once a week. However, during promotions you may receive, for example, two emails from us in a single day. We reserve the right to choose how frequently we email as long as we allow our subscribers to choose whether or not they want to hear from us.
3rd Party Contact Management SoftwareWe never share any of this information with third parties, except those that collect the information for us such as Aweber (contact management system), Nanacast and Paypal (payment management systems). These 3rd party services do not contact you. they are business tools that make it easier for us to manage contacts and finances. It is normal for most businesses on the internet to use these exact services because they add another layer of protection for you. For example, we never SEE information you use for making purchases. Instead, we employ the use of a 3rd party payment processor such as Authorize.net, Paypal, or Nanacast. These are organizations with much higher security than we have available in our server's hardware setup, and this is why we use them. You can tell you are protected by standard secure technologies (SSL) wherever you see the "https" protocol in the address bar provided the current security certificate is valid. These services also protect you should you have issue with us and need to complain. Processing services help you claim refunds or request disputes if necessary. While we strive to handle ALL customer issues ourselves to keep you happy, we understand that having a 3rd party to arbitrate between us makes things easier sometimes from a legal standpoint. What you need to know is that we never see, handle, or store any payment or password information. Instead we leave this in the hands of professionals who have all the necessary securities so you can shop from us feeling safe and secure. |
