Privacy Policy
All information you provide -- whether on a sign-up form or credit card transaction form -- is deemed by us to be private and classified information. Your information will never be sold, rented or distributed to other marketers or businesses for any marketing purpose.
We place the highest importance on respecting and protecting the privacy of our visitors and customers. Our most important asset is our relationship with you. We want you to feel comfortable and confident when using our Web site.
Therefore, we would like to share with you the following principles that govern our information practices and other privacy aspects of our Web site. Throughout this policy, we refer to information that personally identifies you as "personal information."
When you fill out a sign-up form on this site, you will receive:
1) The free products and services promised (with the sign-up form).
2) Ben's Marketing Secrets eLetter (once a week).
3) Periodic email announcements when new articles are posted on this site.
4) Occasional promotions on products you have indicated an interest in learning about.
You many opt-out of receiving emails from us at anytime by using the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any of our email communications.
How We Protect Your Information
When you fill out an opt-in (sign-up) form on our site, you will be asked in a follow-up email to CONFIRM you want to hear from us and that you want to receive the information you requested. This is important for protecting your privacy. You may then op-out of receiving any further email communications from us at any time simply by using the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any of our email communications.
When you fill out a sign-up form to receive a free offer (i.e. to subscribe to our eNewsletter, or to receive a free tutorial, white paper or eBook), the form you fill out is encrypted and secure.
We enter into contracts with third parties who assist us in servicing you. All contracts outline the appropriate use and handling of your information and strictly prohibit third parties from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the product or service for which they've been contracted. Vendors are required to maintain the strict confidentiality of the information we provide to them and are prohibited from sharing your information with third parties.
Your name and email address is stored at a carefully-selected data management company we have contracted with to keep information secure and assist us with our email communications. Your information remains encrypted and secure at all times. The third-party vendors we contract with to help serve you better are not permitted to use your information for any purpose other than enabling us to communicate with you via email.
We may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a legal process such as a court order, subpoena, or a law enforcement request.
When you use your credit card to make a purchase from us, your information is encrypted and secure. We never see your full credit card number, just the last four digits. So even our own staff can't find out your credit card information. We use 1shoppingcart.com for our shopping cart. This is one of the most reputable shopping cart companies. Many leading ecommerce businesses use it. The gateway company that communicates the transaction from 1shoppingcart.com to to the merchant account provider is Authorize.net -- which is the owrld's leading ecommerce gateway. The merchant account we use is Innovative Merchant Solutions (an Intuit, Inc. company), which has rigorous security requirements merchants must comply with to use its merchant services.
Our credit card order pages have been approved for security by VeriSign, Security Metrics, and McAfee Secure.
