Privacy Policy

I, Zach Browne,  respect your privacy and I’m committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of personal data I collect.

The purpose of my Privacy Policy is to demonstrate my firm commitment to the privacy and protection of all persons who provide personal data to me or my affiliates. This Privacy Policy describes the ways I collect information from and about you, and what I do with the information, so that you may decide whether or not to provide information to me.

By visiting my websites or are otherwise providing your personal information to me via any other means, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term visitor includes visitors to my websites who are not yet customers, those who become customers, as well as those who do not become customers; whether you upload information to my websites, download it, or are merely visiting my websites. You can choose not to provide certain information when using my websites but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of its features.

1. WHAT DO I COLLECT AND WHERE?

The information I collect may include your personal information, such as your name, contact information, financial account numbers, IP addresses, Live Chat Messages, Telephone conversations, product and service selections and orders or other things that identify you individually.

Generally, I may collect information about you in the following manners:
You may provide your personal information to us via chat, email or other written correspondence, telephone calls, web based forms, or other means;

I use automated technical means to collect information about all website visitors for example by use of cookies, via third party providers, and web visits.

You may visit my Websites in any of the following ways:

• By using your browser to navigate to my Website
• By viewing an advertisement displayed on a third party website that is served content by my web server;
• By viewing an email that is served content by my or a third party web server.

When you visit my Website, my server logs your IP address (unique network addresses), the time and duration of your visit, and the time and duration of the pages on my website you view. If you arrive at my website by clicking a paid advertisement (including a paid search engine result) or a link in an email, then I will capture information that tracks your visit from that link. If you arrive at my Website by clicking a non-paid source, such as link in a non-paid search engine result or an un-sponsored link on another website, I may capture information that tracks your visit from that source, to the extent I are able to do so. I may also capture information about your computer system, such as your browser type and operating system.

I will likely place a cookie on your hard drive during the web visit. A cookie is a unique alphanumeric identifier that I use to help us identify the number of unique visitors to my Website, whether or not those visitors are repeat visitors, and the source of the visits. Cookies cannot be executed as code or used to deliver a virus. Other servers cannot read them and personal information cannot be gathered from them. They are simply an identifier shared between you and us to allow us to improve the services I offer to you through my Website. If you do not wish cookies to be placed on your computer, then they can be disabled in your web browser. The option to do so is normally found in your browser’s “security settings” section. However, please note, permanently disabling cookies in your browser may hinder your use of my Website as well as other websites and interactive services.

A web beacon, also known as a web bug, is a small graphic (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel), that is embedded in a web advertisement, email, or page on my web site, but is invisible to you. When you view a page on my web site, an email or an advertisement your web browser will request the web beacon from a web server, which in turn will set a cookie in your web browser containing a unique identifier. This unique identifier will be linked to log information that is used to track your movements on my web site in order to determine the effectiveness of content and advertising campaigns.
I do not collect personal information about you as part of a web visit, but web visit information may be tied to other information (including personal information) I collect from you via chat, web forms, and the other means I describe in this Privacy Policy.

our advertising agencies may also use web beacons and cookies to track your activity on my website originating from the advertisement. However, I will not provide your personal information to my advertising agencies. my advertising agencies maintain their own privacy policies, and you should also review those.

I may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. The privacy practices of those sites may differ from my practices and are not controlled by me and covered by this Privacy Policy. I do not make any representations about third-party websites. I encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting your personal data.

I use web visit information to measure interest in and develop my web pages and marketing plans, customize the content you view on your web visits based on your activity on past visits, and administer my Website.
I use the visitors’ IP address to help diagnose problems with my servers, and to administer my Websites.

I use cookies to help us recognize visitors as unique visitors (just a number) when they return to my websites For example, if there are 1,000 visits to my website on a certain day, I can use cookies to discover how many of those visits were made via the same browser (same visitor).
