PRIVACY POLICY
Last Revised: _6 July 2015__________________
This privacy policy (“Policy”) applies to the Services owned and operated by Wise Publishing Group (“Wise Publishing” “we” or “us”) and the web site located at www.wisepublishinggroup.com (the “Site”). The Policy is designed to tell you how we collect and use personal information (as defined below) so you can make an informed decision about using our Site and Services. Please read this statement before using our Site or Services or submitting any personal information to us. By using our Site or Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old or older and you consent to the information collection and use practices described herein. We reserve the right to change the provisions of this privacy policy at any time by posting a revised privacy policy on the Site or through the Services and indicating on the privacy policy the date it was last updated. Your use of the Site or Services following the posting of such changes or revised statement shall constitute your acceptance of any such changes. We encourage you to review our privacy policy whenever you visit our Site to determine if any changes have been made and to make sure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.
WHAT IS “PERSONAL INFORMATION”?
As used herein, the term “personal information” generally means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as user’s name, social security number, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number) or that is associated with an identifiable person (such as demographic information or information about a person’s activities when such information is linked to personally identifying information). Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Site, Service or categories of users, from which any personal information has been removed. For example, information that forty-seven percent of the registered users identify themselves as male, is aggregate information. We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including to help us understand trends and user needs so that we can better consider new products and services, and tailor existing products and services to user desires. This policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We do not collect any personal information from mere visitors to the Site. Your email address may be collected when you send us an email. If you register for our Service, we may collect your name, social security number, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number.
WHAT OTHER INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
When you visit our Site, some information is also automatically collected through the use of log files, such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your computer’s operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web site and your activity on the Site. We use this information for purposes such as analyzing trends, administering the Site, improving customer service, diagnosing problems with our servers, tracking user movement, and gathering broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may also automatically collect certain information through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small data files that are stored on a user’s hard drive at the request of a Web site to enable the site to recognize users who have previously visited them and retain certain information such as customer preferences and history. If we combine cookies with or link them to any of the personally identifying information, we would treat this information as personal information. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn about these functions.
We may also use third parties to provide certain services, such as processing payment transactions, collecting, tracking and analyzing non-personally identifiable usage and statistical information from users, such as the user’s browser type, operating system, browsing behavior and demographic information. These third parties may collect personal information from you in connection with the Services they provide and may place cookies, web beacons or other devices on your computer to collect nonpersonal information which may be used, among other things, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of our Site and the other sites tracked by these third parties. We are not responsible for, and do not control, any actions or policies of any third party service providers.
USAGE AND DISCLOSURE
The information covered by this Privacy Policy may be used in one or more of the following ways:
The email address you provide may be used to respond to questions, send you information and/or updates pertaining to your account, in addition to occasional company news, updates, related product or service information, etc.
We do not sell, share, or rent any personal information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Policy without first obtaining your consent, although we may provide aggregate information or other nonpersonal information to third parties without your authorization. We also may disclose personal information when we are required to or we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order); to enforce or apply this privacy policy or our other policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect our or our customers’ rights, property or safety; to protect our customers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of our Site or Service; or if we believe that an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of personal information. In addition, information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, transfer or sale of Wise Publishing assets.
Please note: The Site and our Service may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that although we may participate in or utilize such other sites, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site or Service and to read the privacy policies of any Web site or service that collects personally identifiable information. Similarly, if you entered this Site through another Web site, we are also not responsible for the privacy practices of that site, and you should review the privacy policy of the originating site before providing any personal information to that site. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by us.
Our Services use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Services. The tool uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on PCs and mobile device, to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Services (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the Services and to compile statistical reports for Wise Publishing.
We will never (and will not allow any third party to) use the statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of users of our Services. Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We will not, and Google states that it will not seek to link an IP address with the identity of a computer or device user. We will not associate any data gathered from the Site or our Services with any Personally Identifiable Information from any source, unless you explicitly submit that information via a fill-in form on our website.
WHAT STEPS DO WE TAKE TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION ONLINE?
Wise Publishing endeavors to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure by putting into place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect through this Site or our Services. Additionally, account information is accessible online at support[at]wisepublishinggroup[dot]com only through the use of a password. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR INFORMATION?
We will not use your personal information to send you news or product and service updates, unless you “opt in” to receiving such emails by so indicating at the time of registration or by changing your account settings on the email and notifications page of the registration pages of the website. In addition, you may “opt out” of receiving marketing or promotional email from Wise Publishing by following the unsubscribe instructions or using the unsubscribe links within the emails we send. Please note, however, that as long as you maintain an account, you may not “opt out” of receiving service or account-related emails from Wise Publishing.
