"Get A Guy Back" Privacy Guarantee

Information I Collect From You, and How I Use It

Like most websites, I usually send cookies to your browser when you visit my site. A cookie is simply a small file that identifies your browser. I use the cookies to track overall trends so that I can improve the user experience of customers who browse my site. Cookies are used to record session information, such as items that consumers add to their shopping cart, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit. The information I collect is used for internal review to improve the content of my website, and is then discarded.

Cookies are entirely optional, and if you disable cookies on your Internet browser, you should still be able to browse my site with no problem.

3rd Party Cookies

When you browse to my site from a search engine, sometimes there may be 3rd party cookies sent to your browser program, specifically from Google. I use Google Adwords for advertising my site. When someone clicks one one of my ads, I use Google's "conversion tracking" system to see which ads have gotten success results. You can read Google's privacy policy with respect to ads, including how to opt out of Google's advertising cookies, here. (Link opens in a new window.)

Google, as a third party vendor, may also use what it calls the "DART cookie" for ad serving. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to website visitors across the internet. Again, you may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google advertising privacy policies. (Link opens in a new window.)

You Purchase Privately

When you make your purchase, you get taken to a shopping cart hosted by Clickbank, a third party company which processes almost all of my payments. You may read Clickbank's privacy policy here. (Link opens in a new window.)

I do not store your credit card information. All transactions you place on my shopping cart are handled by Clickbank.

When you complete your purchase, you will be taken to a special confidential page where you can download "How to Get a Guy Back in As Little As 7 Days."

When Clickbank is not available to process my payments, I use PayPal. You can read PayPal's privacy policy here. (Link opens in a new window.)

Sites Linking Here

I have a few affiliates through Clickbank's system who send users to my website. My affiliates may have different privacy policies than I do. However, with respect to this site, my privacy policy is in effect no matter where you browsed in from.

Protecting Your Email Address -- My Strict Anti-Spam Policy

In certain instances (such as when you sign up for product updates after your purchase my guide) I collect information that can be personally identifying. For the most part, this is limited to your first name and email address that you enter into a subscription form to receive product updates and bonus reports.

In plain English, I hate spam as much as you do. If you do not want to receive any further email from me, please simply click the "unsubscribe" link in the email and you will be removed from the email list instantly and automatically. You can also unsubscribe by hitting "reply" to the email and letting me know you wish to be unsubscibed. You can also write me at the postal address listed above. Please note, however, that the quickest way to unsubcribe is to simply click the "unsubscribe" link in the email. The other two methods require me to manually remove you from the list.

Because my email newsletter requires verified opt-in confirmation (to prevent spam problems), Aweber.com, the autoresponder I use, keeps track of the IP address you use to confirm you wish to sign up for the emails. You can read Aweber's privacy policy at http://www.aweber.com/privacy-policy.htm. (Link opens a new window.)

When you write to my support email address (the one listed at my contact page), I may store the email you sent me so that I'll have it in my records, especially if you offer a testimonial praising my book. (Any testimonials placed at my site will have identifying details such as last names removed. The only exception would be if you gave me express permission to use your last name or any other identifying details.)

Your Other Information

If you supply me with your postal address you will only receive the information for which you provided me your address. (I do not currently ask for your postal address, however.) Generally email is my preferred method of communication.

Persons who supply me with their telephone number will only receive telephone contact from me with information regarding orders they have placed online. (I do not currently ask for your telephone number, however.) Again, email is generally my preferred form of communication.

To summarize, the information I collect is used to improve the content of my website and to send customers my newsletter and product updates.

How I Keep Your Information Secure

I employ strong measures to protect against the theft, misuse or abuse of the information I collect. My data I keep locally is offline, password-protected and encrypted. I have appropriate security measures in place in my physical facility to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that I have collected from you at my site.

The customer data Clickbank, my payment processor, collects is protected by high security standards which you can read about here, but includes powerful encryption, secure authentication, and aggressive fraud analysis.

I Will Never Disclose Your Information

I will never sell, share, rent, give or in any way disclose to a third party any of the information I might have about you. The only exception might be if you asked me to, or if there were some kind of court order compelling me to. (However, I cannot imagine any instance in which the latter scenario would take place.)

Changes to this Privacy Guarantee

From time to time, I may change this privacy guarantee. If that happens, I will post the policy changes to my site to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at this page periodically.

How You Can Find Out What Information I Have Collected About You

Upon request I provide site visitors with access to transaction information (e.g., dates on which customers made purchases, amounts and types of purchases) that I maintain about them, any contact information (e.g., name, email address, etc.) that I maintain about them, and a description of information that I maintain about them.

Consumers can access this information by emailing me at the above address or writing to me at the above address. Consumers can have this information corrected by sending me email at the above address or writing to me at the above address.
