The Web Site Marketing Group is the sole owner of the information collected at WebSiteMarketingGroup.com. The Web Site Marketing Group collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.
Registration
During registration a user may provide contact information (such as name
and email address). We use this information to contact the user about
services on our site for which he or she has expressed interest. It is
optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as income
level and gender), and unique identifiers (such as, username and password),
but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our
site.
Order Forms
We may request information from the user on order forms. A user must provide
contact information (such as name, email, and shipping 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 user.
Information Use
We use information supplied to create products and services geared to
the needs of web site developers and managers. We use data from registering
for the free monthly Web Site Marketing Report newsletter and data from
server log analysis programs that measure aggregate traffic patterns and
visitor behavior.
Profile
We store information that we collect through log files and/or third parties
to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that
we keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences. This
profile is used to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. Your
profile is shared in aggregate form only.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information
about the user. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the
user's hard drive for an extended period of time. The WebSiteMarketingGroup.com
site does not utilize cookies.
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Web Site Marketing
Group only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. We
know of no use of cookies in connection with the site.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes Internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks
to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses,
etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Clear GIFs (Web
Beacons/Web Bugs)
In the future, our site or third-party advertising companies could employ
a software technology called clear GIFs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs),
to help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content
is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar
in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of
Web users. If we ever use Clear GIFs, we will not tie it to users' personally
identifiable information.
Communications
from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy
of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications.
Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we
provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice
and Opt-out sections.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related
announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for
maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out
of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However,
these communications are not promotional in nature.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email
or phone, in accordance with the users wishes.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, 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 Web site.
Aggregate Information
(non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This includes information about the nature and demographics of users in
general. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
These are the instances
in which we will share users' personal information:
We DO NOT Share Personal Information with Third Parties.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
Service Providers
We partner with other third parties to provide specific services. For
example, Constant Contact which hosts our Web Site Marketing News newsletter.
When the user signs up for the Web Site Marketing News, we share names,
e-mail addresses and registration information with Constant Contact so
they can effectively distribute the newsletter. Constant Contact is not
allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose
of providing these services.
Business Transitions
In the event the Web Site Marketing Group, Inc. goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling
a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances,
be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via prominent
notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control
of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition,
the users' 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
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at info@websitemarketinggroup.com We also offer an opt-out mechanism within each newsletter.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party.
Links
Our site
contains many links to other sites. Please be aware that we, Web Site
Marketing Group, Inc., are not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users 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

our site may ask for information from users via surveys. Participation
in surveys is completely voluntary and users choose whether or not to

(such as zip code). Anonymous Survey information will be used for purposes
of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users'
personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless
we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to
conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users' personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
