Net Psychologist recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy
of all information provided by users of our web site, recipients of our
e-mail, subscribers to our newsletter, and all of our clients. This
policy has been created with a fundamental respect for our users' right
to privacy and to guide our relationships with our users. This privacy
statement discloses the privacy practices for all products and services
owned by Net Psychologist. A current list of our products and services
can be found at
http://www.netpsychologist.com.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Net Psychologist collects information from our website users, newsletter
subscribers, and clients. In this section of our privacy policy, we will
describe the type of information we collect and how we use it to provide
better services to our customers.
Registration and Ordering
When signing up for selected services (such as free newsletter
subscriptions) and when initiating an online request for more
information, or ordering our publications users
must first register. During registration users are required to give
their contact information (such as name and email address). We also may
collect demographic information (such as job title and company
information). For internal purposes, we use this information to
communicate with users and provide requested services, and, for our
website visitors, to provide a more personalized experience on our site.
We use aggregate demographic information about our audience to improve
our service, for marketing purposes and/or industry reporting purposes.
For our services that require payment, we also collect credit card
information (such as account name, number, expiration date, and billing
address), which is used for billing purposes only, and is otherwise not
shared.
E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, we ask for contact
information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally, demographic
information). We use this information in the same manner as we use
contact information in the registration and ordering process described
above. Recipients of our newsletters can unsubscribe using the
instructions listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.
Communications with Us
We have features where users can submit information to us (such as our
feedback forms). Requests for service, support or information may be
forwarded as needed to best respond to a specific request. We may retain
e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative
purposes, and to help us to serve customers better.
Communications from Us
Service Updates, Special Offers
In order to best serve our customers, we may send updates that contain
important information about our products and services. For example, we
send new members a welcoming message, and verify password and username
for our password-protected areas. We may also communicate with a user to
provide requested services and for account-related issues via e-mail,
phone or regular mail.
We offer our users the option to receive information about our company,
related products, services and special deals. Users can choose not to
receive these communications, as set forth in our Permission section
below.
Automatic Data Collection
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type,
navigation history and IP address of all visitors to our site. This
information does not contain anything that can identify users
personally. We use this information for our internal security audit log,
trend analysis and system administration, and to gather broad
demographic information about our user base for aggregate use.
Some of our business affiliates use cookies on our site in ads or
promotions. However, we have no access to or control over these business
affiliates' cookies; we urge users to read their privacy policies for
information.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber at
registration with site usage data to provide general profiles, in
aggregate non-personally identifiable form, about our users and their
preferences in the content of the site and advertising. We may share
this composite information with our advertisers and business affiliates
to help them better understand our services.
WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED
When we have co-branded, customized, private label, powered by or
sponsored products and services, or when we join with other parties to
provide specific services, we may share (provide and receive) personal
information with them. We do not share credit card information with such
third parties.
Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally identifiable
information with other companies, apart from those acting as our agents
in providing our product(s)/service(s), and which agree to use it only
for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential.
Also, our subsidiary and affiliate companies, entities into which our
company may be merged, or entities to which any of our assets, products,
sites or operations may be transferred, will be able to use personal
information. We will also disclose information we maintain when required
to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena
or other legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's
request, or in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or
interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights
or property. Users should also be aware that courts of equity, such as
U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have the authority under certain
circumstances to permit personal information to be shared or transferred
to third parties without permission.
We may share aggregate information, which is not personally
identifiable, with others. This information may include usage and
demographic data, but it will not include personal information.
CORRECTION/UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our product(s)/service(s), we
provide a way to correct or update that user's personal data. The user
should contact us for further help.
SECURITY
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users' personal information
and to store it securely. Access to all of our users' information is restricted. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
LINKS
Our web sites contain links to other sites. Net Psychologist is not
responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each web site to which we may link that may
collect personally identifiable information.
NOTIFICATION and CHANGES
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page
so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it and
under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should check
this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
