3. Information We Collect and How We Use It
Sara Laufer Consulting collects certain information from and about its users three ways: (1) directly from our Web Server logs, (2) with Cookies, and (3) from the user. We do not collect information about the specifics of who you are ("Personally Identifiable Information") unless you specifically provide it to us.
a. Web Server Logs
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. None of this information is Personally Identifiable Information. Examples of information we may track include, but are not limited to:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.
- Web page you linked to our site from and go to from the site.
- Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
Sara Laufer Consulting may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
The type of information that may be stored in a cookie includes non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as a randomly assigned user identification number, the country where you are located, and your first name to welcome you back to the site.
Sara Laufer Consulting reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with third parties, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into Sara Laufer Consulting.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our website.
At this time we do not honor web browser “do not track” (DNT) settings.
c. Personal Information Entered by Users
You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you register with us, send us e-mail messages, submit forms to us, or provide information to us by any means. When you register, we will request some personal information which may include your name, address, e-mail, telephone number or facsimile number, account number, and other relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not sell, trade, or rent Personally Identifiable Information to others. Furthermore, we will not disclose Personally Identifiable Information we collect from you to third parties without your permission, except to the extent necessary:
- To fulfill your service request,
- To protect ourselves from liability,
- To respond to a court order or subpoena, bankruptcy proceedings or similar legal processes, or to comply with an investigation, or to comply with applicable laws or rules, or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personally identifiable information.
For terms relating to areas of the site that allow you to communicate and/or submit information on or through the site, such as bulletin board postings, e-mail, messages, suggestions, ideas, fictional work, non-fiction material, photographs, drawings, or concepts (each, a "Submission"), please refer to our Terms of Use. at: http://www.thesurvivorparticle.com/terms.html.
4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF Files
Sara Laufer Consulting/The Survivor Particle (tm)/Whatgirl®.net Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Sara Laufer Consulting to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Sara Laufer Consulting may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or e-mail communications. You should visit those service provider's web pages to review their privacy policies; see paragraph 2 above. Sara Laufer Consulting prohibits Web beacons from being used by third parties to collect or access your Personally Identifiable Information.
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that Personally Identifiable Information that we have on file for you is correct and current. We encourage you to update your Personally Identifiable Information promptly after it changes. You may review this information by contacting us by sending an e-mail to our support attendant (research@saralaufer.com). You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to delete your information; however, because we and our web hosting company have backup systems and keep track of past transactions and/or activities, it may be impossible to completely delete your information.
6. User Communication
We may, from time to time, send you e-mail regarding our services, if you indicate that you are interested in receiving offers or information from us. We may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that may be of interest to you. Only Sara Laufer Consulting will send you these direct mailings, and only if you indicated that you are interested in receiving these notices. If you want these e-mail or direct mailings, you can tell us when you submit or edit your Personally Identifiable Information. Sara Laufer Consulting may reject your request to receive e-mail or direct mailings without any obligation to provide you with any response, reason or justification for such rejection.
7. Security of Information
We will keep your Personally Identifiable Information secure consistent with current industry standards. Security of your Personally Identifiable Information is of utmost concern to us. When you send us Personally Identifiable Information or any other information or material through our web submission forms, the transmission passes only within our web hosting servers maintained by Network Solutions, LLC, which employs its own physical and network security measures. A copy of Network Solutions, LLC, Privacy Policy may be obtained from the following website:
http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/privacy/PrivacyPolicy.html
Our processes in place aim to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing Personally Identifiable Information when it is transmitted to us via our web site submission forms. However, we cannot secure the transmission of Personally Identifiable Information or any other information or material sent to us in any manner. Personally Identifiable Information, once downloaded by us from our web hosting servers, will be stored on firewall-protected computers that only selected Sara Laufer Consulting personnel and contractors have access to via password, and/or on Network Solutions, LLC web hosting servers.
8. Changes to this Statement
Sara Laufer Consulting has the discretion to update this Statement at any time. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this Statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Statement periodically and become aware of modifications.
