I recognize that your privacy is important and wish to protect it. This document outlines the types of personal information I receive and collect when you use Doorway-to-Self-Esteem, as well as some of the steps I take to safeguard information. I hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information with me.
Doorway-to-Self-Esteem strives to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in all its operations. Likewise, I am dedicated to protecting my customers', consumers' and online visitors' privacy on this website.
Doorway-to-Self-Esteem collects personally identifiable information from the visitors to this website only on a voluntary basis. Personal information collected on a voluntary basis may include name, postal address, email address, company name and telephone number.
This information is collected if you request information from me, participate in a contest, and sign up to join the email list or request some other service or information from me. The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of the website, notify visitors of updates, and respond to visitor inquiries.
Once information is reviewed, it is discarded or stored in my files. If I make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information I will inform you by placing a notice on this site. Personal information received from any visitor will be used only for internal purposes and will not be sold or provided to third parties.
Doorway-to-Self-Esteem may use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the sites pages, or register with any of our site's services, a cookie enables Doorway-to-Self-Esteem to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your Web browser; however, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the site.
A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single website or collection of sites. They are also referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a web site.
Doorway-to-Self-Esteem may serve third party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the course of ads being served on the web site to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give me is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information on our web site.
Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions shouldn't cause a problem with our site, should you so choose.
This website is directed to adults; it is not directed to children under the age of 13. This site is operated in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and I will not knowingly collect or use personal information from anyone under 13 years of age.
In some cases, Doorway-to-Self-Esteem may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. I use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The information collected is used solely for internal review and not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.
If Doorway-to-Self-Esteem is sold or merged with another business, the information I have obtained from you through your voluntary participation in the site may transfer to the new owner as a part of the sale. This is in order that the service being provided to you may continue.
In that event, you will receive notice through our website of that change in control and practices. I will honour any opt-out requests made of me before such a transfer takes place. I will also make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser maintains the confidentiality of your information. Since a new privacy policy might come into effect, it is up to you to acquaint yourself with any changes in the privacy policy that affects your information, to be sure you are satisfied with the terms.
I provide this privacy policy as a statement to you of my commitment to protect your personal information. If you have submitted personal information through this website and would like that information deleted from my records or would like to update or correct that information, please use my Contact Page.
I reserve the right to make changes in this policy. If there is a material change in our privacy practices, I will indicate on our site that our privacy practices have changed and provide a link to the new privacy policy. I encourage you to periodically review this policy so that you will know what information I collect and how I use it.
