Information Collection
Julie Ann Turner & Company/CreatorsGuide.com® collects information from our users in several areas of our Web site as described in this privacy policy.
Registration
This Web site includes Registration forms for you to provide information to us. You are asked to give us this information so that we may contact you (such as your name and e-mail address). We use this information to contact you about the services on our site for which you have expressed an interest, as well as to provide you with a more personalized experience on our site.
Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to our eNewsletter, we ask for contact information such as your name and e-mail address.
Registration & Online Store
We request information from you during the Event Registration and Online Store order process. You are asked to provide contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date and card security code). This information is used to fill your orders and for billing purposes. If we have difficulty processing your order, we use this contact information to get in touch with you.
Information Use
Julie Ann Turner & Company/CreatorsGuide.com® is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not share, sell or rent this information to others in any way other than as disclosed in this policy or stated at the point where the information is collected.
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. In this case, this information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
We use a credit card processing company to bill for goods and services and may use an outside shipping company to ship orders. These companies do not use, share, retain or store personally identifiable information for any purposes other than to process the transaction or to ship the order.
We may partner with other companies and individuals to provide specific services. When you sign up for these services, we may share your name or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
We may use your personal information to inform you of other products or services available from Julie Ann Turner & Company/CreatorsGuide.com® and its partners. We may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
Julie Ann Turner & Company/CreatorsGuide.com® may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
Your Choice to Opt-Out
You have the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask you for the information. If you no longer wish to receive promotional material from us or from our partners, you may opt-out of this group by responding to the “unsubscribe” e-mail link or by e-mailing us at support@creatorsguide.com.
We disclose in this policy or state at the point where the information is collected when your information is being shared with any outside parties for purposes of processing or shipping your order, or in providing any customer services you may choose. You may then make an informed choice as to whether or not you would like to continue receiving services that require an outside party.
Cookies
A cookie is a message that the server for our Web site gives to your Web browser. Your browser stores the message in a file called cookie.txt. Each time the browser requests a page from the server, a message is sent back to the server. Purposes for cookies include identifying users and preparing customized Web pages for them. When you fill out a form on our site, this information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your browser, where it is stored for later use. The next time you visit our site, your browser will send the cookie to the server, which can use the information to present you with a more personalized experience. For instance, the site may greet you by your name or remember your username when you begin to fill out a form.
If you reject the cookie, you may still use our site; however, you may only receive limited information in some areas of the site.
Log Files
We may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track a user’s movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. “Aggregate use” means that information from all users is collected and gathered into a whole unit so that information as a whole can be used.
Site Updates & Special Offers
When you complete our Registration form, we send you a welcoming e-mail to verify your password and username. You may occasionally receive information on events, products, services and special deals. We offer you the option to discontinue receiving these communications by “unsubscribing” or “opting out” of receiving promotional offers and material.
Correcting and Updating Personal Information
If any of your personally identifiable information changes or if you no longer wish to use our services, we will offer you a way to correct, update or remove your personal data that you have provided to us. Usually this can be done on the member information update page or by e-mailing us at support@creatorsguide.com.
Security
We want to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information on our Web site, your information is protected online and off-line.
When you provide sensitive information on our site (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and protected with encryption software. While you are on a secure page, such as our order form page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, signifying a secure transfer of information.
We use sophisticated encryption software to protect sensitive information online, and we also use our best efforts to protect your information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information, is restricted in our offices. If you have any questions about the security for our Web site, please e-mail us at security@creatorsguide.com.
Links
This Web site may contain links to other Web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our web site so you will always be aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. |
