Privacy Policy
updated: January 2008
Our Internet Privacy Policy provides information
regarding how we collect, use, and disclose personal
information provided to us when you visit us online
at www.SayPlanning.com and our affiliated web
sites within the SayPlanning.com network.
Items you would like to know about our privacy
policy governing our Internet sites:
How
We Collect Information
We use various tools in order to service your
needs while visiting our Internet sites at www.SayPlanning.com
and its related network.
We use these tools to
process your requests, improve our web site offerings
and navigation, respond to questions, and personalize
your online needs. Some of the tools that we may
use include:
Web Site Tracking Software
Our web servers utilize a tracking software
to capture your domain name address (the address
of your Internet service provider, not your
email address) for purposes of tracking web
site statistics.
Note that we never collect
information about you unless you voluntarily
provide that information through an interview
request form, or some other sponsored web site
activity. The capture of your domain name is
a common practice among all web sites for measuring
the number of hits, pages visited, and length
of user session.
We use this information to
measure the effectiveness of our web site offerings
in order to service you better.
Cookies
A Cookie is a bit of text code that we may develop
from time-to-time and store on your computer hard drive. It helps
us to identify your computer when you visit
us again. An example of an assigned Cookie is
when you register for a contest or other web
site activity.
After your register with our
site for the first time, we assign a Cookie
to your hard drive so that upon returning to
our web site, we identify you as a registered
user and link you directly to the page for registered
users. The Cookie prevents you from having to
reregister each time you visit our site.
The cookie is uniquely yours, and it can only
be read by the web site that issued the cookie.
Cookies cannot be used to collect information
from your computer. Some cookies we may use
are temporary, meaning that they expire once
you close your browser.
Some cookies we may
issue are permanent, meaning they remain on
your computer so that when you return to our
site, we can identify your computer as a previous
user and customize your unique web experience.
Cookies can be deleted from your hard drive
at any time. If you delete our cookie from your
hard drive and then visit our site again, you
will be treated as a first-time visitor since
we will not be able to identify your computer.
Current browsers allow you to accept or reject
certain cookies based on the Platform for Privacy
Preferences ("P3P"). Through enhanced
browser settings, users can manage cookies and
interactions with P3P-enabled web sites.
There
are limitations to P3P, which can restrict your
full Internet experience. We have therefore
chose not to implement P3P-enabled privacy at
this time. Therefore you may receive privacy
alert messages when visiting our site if you
are using an enabled P3P-enabled browser. Please
note that we are committed in providing the
highest standards of privacy as outlined in
this privacy statement.
