Key aspects of our privacy policy include:
We respect the privacy of Internet Users and do not collect personally identifying information without the Internet User's permission.
You may contact us regarding this Privacy Policy by e-mail (INFO@2learn-English.com), US mail (Authors & Editors, 10736 Jefferson Blvd., #604, Culver City, CA 90230), or phone (310-836-2014).
Some terms used in this Policy are:
Collection of Data
We do not collect Internet User identity or contact information from Internet Users' visits to our website. For each visitor to our website, the visitor's computer reaches us via a particular IP, (Internet Protocol), address. Our servers automatically collect this IP address.
An Internet User's browser sets Cookies (when enabled) that contain small amounts of data on the Internet User's computer after a visit to any web site. Cookies assist us in tracking Internet Users' activities to facilitate easier navigation, data entry and retrieval, and preference tracking. By setting a cookie on our website, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our website.
No information is obtained from the Internet User or Internet User's computer to generate the unique identifying number of the Internet User. Our servers automatically generate the unique number. None of our Cookies are used to perform "User Profiling".
We do receive and record e-mail addresses of Internet Users, if an Internet User has voluntarily provided that information.
Disabled and Non-functioning Cookies
We do not employ any technology or means of preventing an Internet User from disabling the acceptance of a Cookie. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but an Internet User's browser may be set by the Internet User to disable this function. Some Web browsers or similar Internet navigating technology may not support (or consistently support) Cookie technology. If Cookies are disabled or the Internet User is utilizing technology that does not adequately support Cookie technology, we will not be able to record the Internet User's activity.
Log Files
Like most standard websites 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.
Use and Disclosure of Data
We do not sell or rent personally identifying information. We do not disclose personal identifying information to anyone unless we are authorized to do so. We use anonymous user data to create and report the browsing and/or form completion activities of anonymous users.
When an Internet User performs a transaction that requires identifying information to be disclosed to a us, and if the transaction involves a cash payment, our credit card processor is the only party granted access to that that identifying information.
We will send an e-mail receipt for all transactions made by an Internet User. These may be printed by an Internet User for tax purposes, if appropriate.
We reserve the right to release information on Internet Users if compelled to do so by proper judicial or governmental authorities. Disclosure shall be limited only to those parties to whom we are compelled to disclose such information.
Security Measures
We have implemented technology and security features to safeguard the privacy of customer identifiable information from unauthorized access or improper use, and we will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. Access to user data is limited through the use of password protection on each account created by an Internet User. User specific data is accessible to our designated employees who require such access in order to perform their jobs. Access to Internet User data that identifies the Internet User's name and/or e-mail addresses is limited to designated employees who require such access in order to perform their jobs.
Each Internet User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his/her own password used for accessing his/her account on our website.
We and our online credit card processors use TDES - Triple Data Encryption Standard. This is considered a "very strong" encryption method, and uses 128-bit security. It is one of the most secure methods available for online credit card processing. It is also used by Federal Government organizations to protect sensitive data. For more information, please see the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 46-3, Data Encryption Standard (DES).
Our data is backed up every day. Multiple copies of the data are maintained and stored in secure locations and are tested on backup equipment. In addition our systems are housed in a secure hosting environment with redundant connections to the Internet and redundant hardware. All of this simply means that you are protected against any computer failure or catastrophic data loss.
Spam
We do not intentionally send unsolicited e-mail messages that could legitimately be construed as spam.
