Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read my privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how I collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with this website. What personal information is collected from the people that visit this blog and/or website? When visiting this site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your PII (specifically name and email address) or other details to help you with your experience. When is PII collected? PII is collected when you sign up for email notification of new blog posts, leave a comment, join our mailing list, enter a contest, etc. How is your PII used? Your PII may be used to contact you in the future about new blog posts, newsletters, to administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature, and to follow up after correspondence, i.e. comments on posts. How is your PII protected? ~ We only provide articles and information. ~ We never ask for credit card numbers. ~ We use regular Malware Scanning. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. A variety of security measures are implemented when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers. What about "cookies"? Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, cookies help me understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables me to provide you with improved services. Cookies also helps me compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We use cookies to: ~ Understand and save user's preferences for future visits. ~ Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on my behalf. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off it may turn off some of the features of the site. Third-party disclosure We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your PII unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating this website, conducting business, or serving users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when it's release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. Third-party links Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on this website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of this site and welcome any feedback about the third-party sites.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act) When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old. Fair Information Practices The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur: ~ We will notify you via email within 7 business days ~ We will notify the users via in-site notification within 7 business days ~ We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors. CAN SPAM Act The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect your email address in order to: ~ Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions. ~ Advise you of new blog posts. To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following: ~ Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses. ~ Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way. ~ Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters. ~ Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used. ~ Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly. ~ Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email. ~ If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email me at mariannesciucco@gmail.com. ~ Follow the instructions at the bottom of each email and I will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
