Privacy Policy
Wild Sage Press, Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy and
security of the users of our sites. This privacy policy will advise
you about how we protect your personal information, and about what
choices you have concerning our use of such information. Please
read this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy from
time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on
our site. We will post those changes here so that you will always
know what information we gather, how we might use that information
and whether we will disclose that information to anyone. Please
refer back to this policy regularly. If you have any questions or
concerns about our privacy policy, please contact us.
Scope of Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to your use of all the sites and
services owned by Wild Sage Press, Inc. referred to here as WSP and
collectively "we," "us," or "our", including emptynexters.com,
wildsage.com, wildsageinsight.com, viridianmarketing.com, and any
other site that we own and operate or may own or operate in the
future (collectively, the "Sites"). Unless we say otherwise, any
references to the Sites in this privacy policy include all such
sites. This privacy policy does not apply to your use of
unaffiliated sites to which any of the Sites only link. This policy
covers only information collected on the Sites and does not cover
any information collected offline by us.
Personal Identification Information
We may request personal identification information from you
(such as your name, street address, telephone number, credit card
number, e-mail address, and/or any other identifier that permits
the physical or online contacting of you) in connection with your
use of, or participation in, membership registration for our
contests, sweepstakes, promotions, games, surveys, forums,
subscription registrations, content submissions, chats, bulletin
boards, discussion groups, requests for suggestions, visitors'
requests for free products or services or additional information
(including via email to us), and in connection with other
activities, services or resources we make available on any of our
Sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal
identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit
such information to us. Except as otherwise provided in this
policy, we will never intentionally disclose any personal
identification information about you as an individual user to any
third party without having received your permission. If you do
provide us with personal information for any of these activities,
we may use it to conduct the activity. We may also use cookie
technology and Web beacons (discussed in detail below) to improve
your experience of these activities, including to remember your
preferences, customize the content and advertisements that you see
or authenticate your access to your personal information. In
addition, in the event your personally identifiable information is
requested as part of our surveys, polls or promotions, such
personally identifiable information may be added to your
registration information. We may also contact you to confirm your
registration and about your account status, and regarding changes
to the Sites' Terms and Conditions of Use and this Privacy Policy.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal
identification information for internal or external marketing and
promotional purposes. On occasion, for example, we may send you
e-mails to introduce a product or service that we think might be of
interest to the users of our Sites. For us to obtain your
permission to send you this information, we will give you an
opportunity to "opt-in" at the time our request for your personal
information is made. If you do "opt-in," you may choose to
"opt-out" at any time, even after you have provided personal
information, by following the procedures set forth below at the end
of this Privacy Policy. Please note, however, that under certain
circumstances, if you initially do not choose to "opt-in," or if
you later "opt-out," you may not be eligible for certain benefits
for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or other
personal identification information is needed. We have the
following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific
information about you or your account to comply with any valid
legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena,
statute or court order. We will also release specific information
in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the
security of the Sites, or a physical or property threat to you or
others. We may also transfer user information, including personally
identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger,
consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or
other fundamental corporate change. In addition, on occasion, we
may collect personal identification information from you in
connection with optional contests, special offers or promotions. We
will share such information with necessary third parties for the
purpose of carrying out the contest, special offer or promotion.
Your participation in the contest, special offer or promotion
constitutes your consent to such disclosure and use of such
information. Further, the information you enter when making a
purchase or an online donation will be shared with payment
processors, financial gateways, and your credit card company to
authorize credit card payments. Such information may also be shared
with necessary third parties solely for the purpose or carrying out
the transactions. Please note that if you give out personal
information online-for example, on one of our public or private
forums such as a message board or chat room, folder, chat IM
feature-that information can be collected and used by third
parties. Although we strive to protect our users' privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these
forums. You disclose such information at your own risk. You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your information
and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your
registration, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to
immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your registration
or password.
Non-Personal Identification
Information We collect non-personal identification information
through the use of: "Cookie" technology: A "cookie" is an element
of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may then
store it on your system. "IP address tracking": An IP address is a
number that is assigned to your computer when you are on the
Internet. When you request pages from our Sites, our servers log
your IP address. "Web beacons": A Web beacon, or "clear gif", is a
small graphic image on a webpage or web-based document that a web
site can use to determine information about a user. Non-personal
identification information might include the browser you use, the
type of computer, technical information about your means of
connection to our Sites - such as the operating systems and the
Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information.
Our systems may also automatically gather information about the
areas you visit and search terms you utilize on our sites and about
the links you may select from within our Sites to other areas of
the World Wide Web or elsewhere online. We use such information to
administer the Sites, better manage advertising on the Sites, and,
in the aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the
services and resources provided on our sites. This way we know
which areas of our Sites are favorites of our users, which areas
need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we
may continually improve our sites. We may share this aggregate
statistical information with our partners, suppliers and other
third parties, but we will not share any individual names, personal
navigational or other personal information. For example, we may use
a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our
Sites. We may share demographic and preference information with
this company to allow them to display appropriate advertisements
for you. We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when
you visit the Sites and other sites on which we advertise.
Third-party advertising technology uses information about your
visits to the Sites and other sites on which we advertise. In the
course of advertisements being served to you, a unique third-party
cookie or cookies may be placed or recognized on your browser. In
addition, we may use Web beacons, provided by third-party
advertising companies, to help manage and optimize our online
advertising. Web beacons enable us to recognize a browser's cookie
when a browser visits the Sites, and to learn which banner ads
bring users to the Sites. To learn more about third-party
advertising, cookies, and how to "opt-out," please click here. http://www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp.
Further, we currently contract with a third party web analytics
provider to help manage and optimize our Sites. We use this service
to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how
visitors use our Sites. To do this, we use Web beacons and cookie
technology on the Sites. The type of information we collect
includes the number of hits a web page receives, type of browser
used, and number of times a visitor makes a purchase from a
particular promotion. By supplementing our records, this
information helps us learn things like what pages are most
attractive to our visitors, which of our products and services most
interest our users, and what kinds of offers our users like to see.
Although this third-party provider logs the information coming from
our Sites on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not
be used.
Privacy of Children
We understand that young people need special safeguards and
privacy protection. We realize that they may not understand all the
provisions of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions
about the choices that are made available to our adult users. We
strongly urge all parents to participate in their children's
exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach
their children about protecting their personal information while
online. The Sites are not directed to children under the age of 13.
We prohibit registration by children under the age of 13 for all
interactive portions of the Sites including chats and message
boards. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable
information from children under 13. We may, at our discretion,
require users under the age of 18 to obtain the consent of a parent
or guardian to view certain content, and we may limit access to
certain content to users above a specified age. You agree to abide
by any such restrictions, and not to help anyone avoid these
restrictions.
Links to Other Sites
Users will find advertising or other content on our Sites that
link to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers,
advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not
control the contents or links that appear on these sites. In
addition, these sites or services, including their contents and
links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may
have their own privacy policies and customer service policies, or
no policy (policies) at all. We encourage you to review the privacy
policies of any third party sites or services before providing any
of them with your personal information.
Security Policy
Protecting your privacy and your information is a top priority.
We have taken careful measures to secure both your information and
our physical premises. We exercise great care in providing safe
transmission of your information from your PC to our servers
(unless sent by a means outside of our control, such as e-mail).
Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can
be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your information, we cannot guarantee its security.
Access To/Correction of Information
If you would like to review any personal information we have
retained about you in our database, please send us an e-mail
request for this information at info@emptynexters.com. To help us
address your request, please specify which information you wish to
review. Once you have reviewed this information, at your request we
will correct personal information about you that you state is
erroneous. To request such a correction, please send an e-mail to
info@emptynexters. You should be aware, however, that it is not
always possible to completely remove or modify information in our
databases and servers although we will always make reasonable
efforts to do so upon your request.
Choice/Opt-Out
If you "opt-in" to receive information from us or others, you
can change your mind later. If at any time you would like to stop
receiving such information or opt-out of a feature, you may go back
to any of our sites and change your options. You should be aware,
however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or
modify information in our databases and servers although we will
always make reasonable efforts to do so upon your request.
Consent to Transfer
The Sites are operated in the United States. If you are located
in the European Union or elsewhere outside of the United States,
please be aware that any information you provide to us will be
transferred to the United States. By using our Web Site,
participating in any of our services and/or providing us with your
information, you consent to this transfer.
Your Acceptance of These Terms
By using any of the Sites, you signify your acceptance of our
Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not
use our Sites. Your continued use of the Sites following the
posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept those
changes.
