PRIVACY POLICY

Last Update: April 15th, 2010

1. Introduction

www.alexalcyone.com ("This Website") is operated by Alex Newman. Any reference to "I" or "me" in this privacy policy refers to Alex Newman. Your information privacy is important to me. Here is This Website's privacy policy.

2. Modification

I reserve the right to make updates to this Privacy Policy at any time, and without giving prior notice, by simply posting an updated privacy policy here at this page - http://www.alexalcyone.com/privacy.html . This will be viewable on the site from the link at the foot of the site's other pages. Please check periodically for updates. Your use of the site constitutes your acceptance of the current Privacy Policy.

3. Email list - Personally Identifiable Information

This Website features an email list "opt-in" in order for users to subscribe to receive ongoing email communication from me. This Website collects names and email addresses from those who wish to sign up for the email list. These names and addresses are held in strict confidence and will not knowingly be shared, sold, rented or otherwise passed on, by me, under any circumstances unless required by law.

In order to opt in to the email list, users are required to "double opt-in" i.e. after entering their email address, will receive a confirmation email to which they are required to respond, in order to fully activate this service.

Email communications will consist of information intended to be useful and relevant to the subject matter of the site, plus occasional offers and product recommendations. Some of these product recommendations may be for "affiliate products" for which Alex Newman will receive a commission on sales, in which case such "affiliate links" will come with notification of their affiliate status.

Email list subscribers are able to unsubscribe at any time by following unsubscribe links in email. Any personally written unsubscribe requests will also be honored in a timely fashion.

In the unlikely event that a third party has entered a false or incorrect email address in the "subscribe" fields, an email will be sent to that email address requesting confirmation of opt-in. In the extremely unlikely (but of course theoretically possible) event that you have received one of these messages and do not wish to opt in, please accept my apologies and simply ignore the message.

The email list is managed through the system provided by Aweber Communications - and the names and email addresses of subscribers are held on their servers.

I do not have any control over Aweber Communications' servers, policies or data management practices.

This Website does not collect knowingly collect information from, or sell to, children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 13 has submitted personally identifiable information (such as name and email address) without your permission or consent, please contact me using the "Contact Info" on this page, and include the information that was submitted by your child, and I will remove their information from my subscriber list.

5. "Non-personally identifiable information" - Google Analytics, Cookies, IP Address etc.

As you use This Website, information typically deemed as "non-personally identifying" may be collected using various systems such as, but not limited to, cookies, server logs, Google Analytics and pixel tracking.

Log files

As with most web sites, logs are automatically created which register the IP address and other information such as the date and time of access of This Website. I may use this information for general administrative, diagnostic or market research purposes. This web site uses common server-side statistics utilities, such as Awstats, that are provided by This Website's hosting provider. These utilities provide user demographics such as the user's country and city of location, IP address, browser type, and keywords used in searches used to find this site - and I may use such data for the purposes of optimizing the "performance" and quality of This Website, and for market research.

Cookies and Web Beacons

"Cookies" and "web beacons" are small text or images files that may be sent to a user’s computer when a web site is accessed. This Website may use cookies and web beacons for the purposes of tracking user behaviour with regard to improving services and market research.

Also, This Website may feature advertisements - and some third party advertisers' ads on This Website may place and read cookies on the users' web browser, or use web beacons to collect information. I have no access to or direct control over such cookies or web beacons.

Most web browsers' default settings are to accept cookies automatically - however it is possible with almost all browsers to change browser preferences, in order to refuse cookies or to request confirmation before accepting them. Some features of this site and its services may not function correctly if cookies are refused.

Google Analytics

This Website uses Google Analytics in order to track visitor activity with a view to observing and improve site performance, and for market research. Google Analytics may use cookies - and the information (such as, but not limited to, IP address, geographic location (town and country), date and time of access, time spent on site, keywords used in searches to find This Website) generated by the use of Google Analytics is transmitted to, and stored by Google Inc.

I have taken reasonable measures to protect such information of yours - whether personally or non-personally identifying, as may reside on my computer systems - such as password access, firewall, and physical locks. However, please note that no internet data transmission or physical data storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and I can make no absolute warranty in this regard.
