CareerActivist.com

Welcome to CareerActivist.com.

We've adopted a set of information management guidelines that serve as the basis for our customer and user relationships. These guidelines have been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving, as are the business models they're based on. We reserve the right to change these guidelines at any time. Any such changes will be posted on this page. These guidelines do not apply to the practices of entities that CareerActivist and its affiliates do not control or to individuals who are not under our control.

The following privacy policy applies to careeractivist.com:

Your personal information
careeractivist.com may collect personally identifiable information (name, e-mail address, etc.) and/or demographic data (zip code, gender, interests, etc.) that you submit when you:

• Order a subscription to careeractivist.com should any be offered that require the aforesaid personal information

• Complete a survey

• Register for a promotion or contest or sweepstakes

• Register or apply for the use of our coaching services

• Pay for use of our coaching services

• Send us an e-mail

• Place a posting on one of our pages

• Join a discussion board on our site

• Comment on information you send to a friend

This information, should it be gathered at all, is encrypted and retained in a secure database, not on our Web site.

We may use this information to operate careeractivist.com's services, to provide you with the highest quality service, and to offer you opportunities we think will be of interest to you. We will send e-mails to those who have elected to receive them in which we inform registered users about specific offers (from careeractivist.com and our advertising partners) that may be of interest to them.

We will not disclose any personal information without your advance permission except when we believe the law requires us to do so or the disclosure is necessary to protect the rights or property of CareerActivist. In order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers and others, we may disclose user information -- but only in an aggregate form. For example, we might disclose that a certain percentage of our users are female or within a certain age range.

Credit Card abd Paypal Transactions

We accept credit-card transactions and PayPal for the purchase of online memberships and other services offered. We do not take consumers' credit card information and forward it to third-party suppliers of ordered goods and services. People can also buy goods and services from vendors with whom we associate. Credit card information you provide in the context of an order for those goods or services will be provided to the parties providing such goods and services only. Those companies and CareerActivist may use the contact information that you provide to contact you about your account and/or to send you necessary information directly related to the good or service for which you have registered.

Surveys
careeractivist.com may occasionally use online surveys or polls to ask visitors for feedback on our products and services as well as to collect contact information (such as e-mail address). We may use contact data from such surveys to send the user information about our company or to contact users when necessary. Users may choose not to receive these future, direct communications by invoking the "Opt-out procedures" set forth below.

Children's privacy
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act stipulates that Web site operators cannot knowingly collect information from children under age 13 without verifiable parental permission. careeractivist.com respects the privacy of children, and does not seek children's participation in services that require registration. We strongly recommend that parents supervise their children's use of the Internet. We also encourage parents to instruct their children not to give out personal information in e-mail messages or forums.

Opt-out procedures
From time to time, we may send you information about various goods and services. If you do not want to receive this information, you may change your correspondence setting in your profile or send your unsubscribe request via our online contact form.

Correcting and updating your private information
The information that you provide to careeractivist.com may be stored by us for an indefinite time. However, please feel free to request a change or deletion of this information at any time by contacting us.

Usage tracking
Some information about you is automatically collected via what are known as server logs. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring URLs - but never any personal info such as your name or address. We use this information to administer our Web site, help diagnose problems with our server, and to help identify you as a unique visitor to our site and to gather broad information about your site usage. However, in tracking these usage patterns, we do not match this information with a specific user's personally identifiable information.

Cookies
A "cookie" is a small text file that can be placed in your browser and allows a Web site to recognize you each time you -- as an individual but not your identity -- visit its pages. careeractivist.com may use cookies to track usage of the site. We never give out information to others about individual usage. This is the foundation of our privacy policy. We do plan to provide our advertisers or affiliates with aggregate information, such as: "1,000 users saw your advertisement today, and 100 of them clicked on it." We can also tell how many users looked at a particular section, how often users come back, and what areas of the site people look at most often and least often.

We may also use an ad network provider to help present advertisements on this site. This ad network provider, like other advertising service vendors, uses cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies on the hard drive of your computer to serve you advertisements tailored to interests you have shown by browsing on this and other sites you have visited, and to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before and to avoid sending you duplicate advertisements. In doing so, the provider collects non-personal data such as your browser type, your operating system, Web pages visited, time of visits, content viewed, ads viewed, and other click data. The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies by these advertising network providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours. If you do not want the benefits of these advertising cookies, you may opt-out of these ad network providers by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp. However, if you do so you may not receive the full benefit from the use of our site as well as others.

Security
The security of the information that you provide careeractivist.com is very important to us. We use SSL encryption software to protect your data if we do indeed gather it. However, our Web sites include links to other sites, and when you choose to visit those sites, you should determine their guidelines and privacy policies as we are not responsible, and we affirmatively disclaim any responsibility, for their privacy policies. In addition, we may permit third parties to offer registration-based services through our site. We are not responsible, and we affirmatively disclaim responsibility, for the actions and policies of these third parties. We urge you to review the privacy policies of these parties when supplying personally identifiable information to them.

Remember the risks whenever you use the Internet
You should know that when you voluntarily disclose personal information to the public on careeractivist.com Web sites and its affiliated sites (for example, in electronic forums, chat rooms and other public posting areas), that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people. While we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot be responsible, and we affirmatively disclaim responsibility, for information that you choose to publicly disclose. Further, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.

Our partners and other Internet sites or services that may be accessible through the careeractivist.com site have separate data and privacy practices that are independent of us, and we disclaim any responsibility or liability for their policies or actions. We encourage you to contact those sites directly if you have questions about their privacy policies.
