In order
to demonstrate our commitment to our visitors’ privacy, we disclose
our information practices. We will do what we say.
We know
that you've been tired of those 3-page-long, attorney-driven, hard-to-understand
Privacy Statements. We make ours as simple as this:
We will never distribute, share or sell any personal
information we collect on our website to any third party.
We will never spam your email address.

If you are

If a visitor
wishes to subscribe our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address. We then send newsletters to visitor's
email address.
Autoresponder
When a visitor
requests information such as our free e-book, courses, etc, by sending
email to our autoresponder, the visitor's email address is logged.
The requested information will be sent out automatically.
This includes
not only filling up a form at our website. The same progress happens
whenever a visitor sends email to our autoresponder, through a form
at our site, using his/her own email client, from another website,
from newsgroup...
Order
We, or our
credit card processing partner, request information from customer
on our order form. A customer must provide contact information (such
as name, email address) and financial information (such as credit
card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing
an order, the information is used to contact the customer.

may communicate with us by filling out feedback form at our website.
The feedback content itself together with related email address
will be stored for our future reference.

occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related
announcement to our newsletter subscribers and customers. For instance,

nature.

inviting them to visit the site. We store this information for the
sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success

removal of this information from our database.
Legal Disclaimer

we may need to disclose personal information when required by law
wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary
to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal
process served on our website.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use a credit card processing company to bill users
for goods and services. The company does not retain, share, store
or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Business Transitions
In the event Working-At-Home-Business.com
goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired
by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, visitors’
personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets
transferred. Subscribers and customers will be notified via prior
to a change of ownership or control of their personal information.
If as a result of the business transition, the visitors’ personally
identifiable information will be used in a manner different from
that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice
consistent with our notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our subscribers
and customers are given the opportunity to opt-out of having their

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please
be aware that we, Working-At-Home-Business.com,
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our visitors to be aware when they leave our site and
to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by this web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time
to time our site may request information from visitors via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the visitors (and subscribers, customers) therefore
have a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Contact information will be used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of
monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Personally
identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless
requested by law.
Security
This web
site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the web site, their information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our
order form asks customers to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected
with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on
a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
users are just ‘surfing’.
While we
use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.
All of our visitors’ information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job are granted access
to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date
on our security and privacy practices.
If visitors have any questions about the security
at our web site, visitors can send an email to:
webmaster@working-at-home-business.com
If we decide
to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy
statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our
visitors are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which
the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use visitors’ personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at
the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in
our privacy practices that do not affect visitor information already
stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web
site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a
notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications
from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
