ReachNowInstitute.com Privacy Policy
What information
does Reach Now Institute collect from our users and how do we collect
it?
Reach Now Institute
only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or
in the event that they have signed up to receive our free newsletters
or have purchased one of our products. Reach Now Institute
collects personally identifying information from our users during online
registration and online purchasing. Generally, this information includes
name and e-mail address for registration to receive our free newsletters
and name, postal address, and credit card information when purchasing
our products. All of this information is provided to us by you.
How do we use this information?
This information is used for internal marketing purposes only. Reach
Now Institute does not sell, exchange, or release your personal
information (name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit data, etc.)
Your information is not shared with any other third party or company
outside of billing and shipping purposes.
What are cookies/clear GIFs and how do we use
them?
Cookies: Like many other commercial sites, our Site utilizes standard
technologies called "cookies" and clear GIFs to collect information
about how our Site is used. A cookie is a small data text file, which
a website stores on your computer's hard drive (if your web browser
permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. Cookies
were designed to help a website recognize a user's browser as a previous
visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been
set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot be read by
a website other than the one that set the cookie. A cookie cannot pass
on a computer virus or capture any of the Personally Identifiable Information
that resides on your computer.
Clear GIFs: At times, we
work with third-party service partners that employ clear GIFs (also
known as pixel tags, single pixel GIFs, web beacons or action tags)
for our benefit to help us measure advertising effectiveness. Clear
GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function
to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of our users.
The main difference between the two is that clear GIFs are invisible
on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the
end of this sentence. Clear GIFs are not tied to your Personally Identifiable
Information and only track the visitor traffic and behavior to and on
our Site.
Clear GIFs can "work
with" existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the
same website or advertising company. That means, for example, that if
a person visited "www.companyX.com", which uses an advertising
company's clear GIF, the website would match the clear GIFs identifier
and the advertising company's cookie ID number, to show the past online
behavior for that computer. This collected information can be shared
with the advertising company. We do, at times, provide such information
to our third-party advertising service partners, but that information
can only be used by our partner for our benefit and never includes personally
identifiable information.
How do we store your information?
Your information is stored at the list server that delivers Reach
Now Institute newsletters. Your information can only be accessed
by those who help manage those lists in order to deliver e-mail to those
who would like to receive Reach Now Institute's newsletters.
All of the newsletters that
are sent to you by Reach Now Institute include an unsubscribe
link in them. You can remove yourself at any time from our newsletters
by clicking on the unsubscribe link. You can also contact us at Info@ReachNowInstitute.com
to change your information at any time.
Disclaimer
This policy may be changed at any time at Reach Now Institute's
discretion. If we should update this policy, we will post the updates
to this page on our Website. This policy was revised November 24, 2009.
If you have any questions
or concerns regarding our privacy policy please direct them to Info@ReachNowInstitute.com.
