Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy,
we provide this notice explaining our online information
practices and the choices you can make about the way your
information is collected and used.
Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted
on the Word-Expert.com website. On some pages, you can order
services, make requests, and register to receive materials.
The types of personal information collected on these pages
are: name, address, email and phone number.

We provide you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your
personally identifiable information used for certain purposes,
when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase
our editing service but do not wish to receive any
additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your
preference in your account profile.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional
communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by
following the instructions included in each newsletter or
communication or by emailing us at Word-Expert.com. We offer
an opportunity to opt-out of certain communications on your
account profile page.
You will be notified when your personal information is collected
by any third party that is not our agent/service provider,
so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to
share your information with that party.

| The
Way We Use Information |
|
|
We use the information
you provide about yourself when placing
an order only to complete that order,
fulfil therequested services, and send
communications related to our service
if you register (for example, we may
send a ‘thank you’ package
for your patronage, or provide a newsletter).
We do not share this information with
outside parties except to the extent
necessary to complete that order. Typically,
we share the necessary information to
our editors in order to proofread your
documents.
We use the information you provide about
other people
when we send information to them. For
example, in our
“referral” function we store
this information to track the
success of the referrals, and send a
one-time nvitation.
We do not share this information with
outside parties except to the extent
necessary to provide the equested information.
We use return email addresses to answer
the email we receive. Such addresses
are not used for any other purpose and
are not shared with outside parties.
We use non-identifying and aggregate
information to better design our website
and to share with dvertisers. For example,
we may tell an advertiser that X number
of individuals visited a certain area
on our website, or that Y number of
men and Z number of women filled out
our registration form, but we would
not disclose anything that could be
used to identify those ndividuals. To
accomplish this type of analysis we
use both cookies and log file data.
Some of our business partners (e.g.,
advertisers) use
cookies on our site. We have no access
to or control over these cookies. This
privacy statement covers the use of
cookies by Word_expert.com only and
does not cover the use of cookies by
any advertisers.
Like most standard Web site servers
we use log files. This includes internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type,
internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp,
and number of clicks to analyse trends,
administer the site, track user's movement
in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses,
etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information, except to prevent fraud.

A cookie is a piece of
data stored on the user's computer tied
to information about the user. We use
both session ID cookies and persistent
cookies for navigation and browser session
maintenance and to understand traffic
patterns generally on our site. For
the session ID cookie, once users close
the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent cookie is a small text
file stored on the user's hard drive
for an extended period of time. Persistent
cookies can be removed by following
Internet browser help file directions.
Session ID cookies are not tied to your
personal information.
From time-to-time we may provide you
the opportunity to participate in contests
or surveys on our site. If you
participate, we will request certain
personally identifiable information
from you. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary
and you therefore have a choice whether
or not to disclose this information.
The requested information typically
includes contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code). We may
use a service provider to conduct these
surveys or contests for us; that company
is not permitted to use personally identifiable
information for any other purpose.
We reserve the right to disclose your
personally identifiable information
as required by law and when we believe
that disclosure is necessary to protect
our rights and/or to comply with a judicial
proceeding, court order, or legal process
served on our Web site.
Finally, we never use or share the personally
identifiable information provided to
us online in ways unrelated to the ones
described above without also providing
you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise
prohibit such unrelated uses. |
