Information Collection and Use
HelloGhost.Com is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. I will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. HelloGhost.Com collects information from my users at several different points on my website.
Order
I request information from the user on my registration, order and payment forms. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill customer's orders. If I have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on my site and is encrypted so cannot be read by any other website. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. It will also terminate once a period of time has elapsed since first using the site.
Log Files
I use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
I may share aggregated demographic information with my partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
I use a credit card processing company to bill users for services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that I, HelloGhost.Com, am not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. I encourage my users to be aware when they leave my site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect my users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When my order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as my order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While I use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, I also do everything in my power to protect user-information off-line. All of my users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in my offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, my accounting staff or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your post code), or if a user no longer desires my service, I will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.
Choice/Opt-out
If you use this site to purchase services you may occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of my users I present the option to not receive these types of communications on my order form.
Users who no longer wish to receive my newsletter or promotional materials from my partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email, or by contacting us directly.
Users of my site are notified when their information is being collected or used by any third parties. I do this so my users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an third party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If I decide to change my privacy policy, I will post those changes on my Homepage so my users are always aware of what information I collect, how I use it, and under what circumstances, if any, I disclose it. If at any point I decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, I will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not I use their information in this different manner. I will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
