What information does Web Wizards collect? How does Web
Wizards collect this information, and how is it used?
- We collect personal information such as names, addresses,
e-mail addresses and some demographic information when submitted
by you through our customer registration process, surveys
and/or other information gathering processes.
- Your e-mail address is used only to send you information
you've requested (such as electronic newsletters), to administer
surveys, and/or to respond to communications from you. Demographic
information is only used in summary form to assist us in identifying
our audiences and their interests, or to help us develop conclusions
about survey results. We do not use this information for other
purposes.
- We also use "cookies," or small pieces
of information that we store on users' computers (see definition
below), to recognize returning visitors and monitor traffic
through our site. Cookies identify you as a unique visitor
to our site, enabling us to effectively aggregate site usage
statistics to improve our website and make it more user-friendly.
- If, at any time, you want to correct, update or delete
any of the information we have collected from you, or you
do not want to receive any further information from us,
let us know by contacting us at privacy@webwizmedia.com . Please be sure to include in your message the means by
which such information was submitted (e.g. our registration
or other information-gathering processes) and the e-mail
address you used so that we can verify your request.
What is a "cookie"?
- A cookie is a small file containing an ID number that
is stored on users' computers. It is transferred to your hard
drive by a Web server, and can only be read by that server.
A cookie will not transmit information that you did not provide
to us. Cookies are used, for example, to help identify unique
visitors to a website and/or to help the user access their
own data from a Web server data base.
Does Web Wizards distribute individually identifiable information
that it gathers to third parties?
- No, we do not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties
any customer identifiable information.
How does Web Wizards store my personally identifiable information?
- WW stores information in secure databases which can be
accessed only by password.
