The
following describes the Privacy Policy for Top Secret Profits
website.
William Hildebrand (Top Secret Profits) owns and operates
this https://topsecretprofits.com/ website business. All references
to “we”, “us”, this “website” or this “site” shall be
construed to mean Top Secret Profits.
William Hildebrand will be
the acting “Controller” of the personal data you provide to
us.
Your Privacy–This information applies to everyone who uses
our website.
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect
your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information
practices and the choices you can make about the way your information
is collected and used. You agree to agree to these policies by virtue
of using our website in a way that leads to you providing us with
personal information.
State
Law & Accompanying Rights
Please
understand that you may have additional rights originating from State
laws based on where you live. These State-based rights may augment,
strengthen, or otherwise somehow compliment any privacy rights you
have inherently or under Federal law. Our policy is to comply fully
with the privacy policies of every jurisdiction in which we operate.
Accordingly, you are free to use our Contact information to reach us
at any time to assert any State rights.
Our
Commitment To Children’s Privacy
Protecting
the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that
reason, our website will never collect or maintain information at our
website from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of our
website is structured to attract anyone under 18.
Under our Terms
of Service and Conditions of Use, children under 18 are not allowed
to use our website and access our services. It is not our intention
to offer products or services to minors.
When
and How We Collect Information
All
of the Personal Information we collect is done at the time you
provide it to us. We collect Personal Information through sign-up and
opt-in forms or when you register for an account, product,
service, survey, promotion, or contest from this website. The type of
Personal Information that we collect may be different with each
sign-up, opt-in, or registration. We will never sell your Personal
Information to anyone. We reserve the right to allow access to
certain Personal Information with our trusted service providers to
perform tasks such as product fulfillment, sending emails, payment
processing, etc. These service providers will only have access to
Personal Information pertinent to carry out the service they were
contracted for.
Google
Analytics
Top
Secret Profits uses Google Analytics to help analyze how users use
the site. The tool uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on
your computer, to collect standard Internet log information and
visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information
generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your
IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used
to evaluate visitors’ use of this website and to compile
statistical reports on website activity.
We
will never (and will not allow any third party to) use the
statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any Personally
Identifiable Information of visitors to our site. Google will not
associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither
we nor Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the
identity of a computer user.
You may refuse the use of cookies by
selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please
note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full
functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to
the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the
purposes set out above.
Other
Collection of Personal Information
When
visiting our website, the IP address used to access our website may
be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information
is purely used to analyze trends, administer our website, track
users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for
internal use such as statistical assessments and website improvement.
Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Other
information may be collected as well, which is rather typical of most
websites. For instance, the source that referred you to our website
is generally known. Likewise, your duration on our website and your
destination when you leave our website can also be tracked. Other
common data collected includes the type of operating system the
computer you are using to access our website has. Similarly, the type
of web browser is often noted. Again, this is a common data
collection and helps ultimately produce a better end-user experience.
Sensitive
Data
We
do not gather any Sensitive Data about you. Sensitive data concerns
data that consists of facts about your religious or philosophical
beliefs, race or ethnicity, sex life, sexual orientation, trade union
membership, political opinions, data about your health and genetic
and biometric data. We do not collect any information about criminal
convictions and offenses.
When
we are mandated to collect personal data by law, or under the terms
of the contract between us and you do not supply us with that data
when asked, we may not have the chance to carry out the contract, for
instance, to provide goods or services to you). If you don’t give
us the requested data, we may have to cancel a service or product you
have ordered, but if we do, we will inform you at that time.
We
will only use your personal data for a function it was compiled for
or a reasonably compatible purpose if necessary. In the event that we
have to use your details for an unrelated new purpose, we will let
you know and detail the legal grounds for processing.
We
may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent
where this is required or permitted by law. We do not conduct
computerized decision making or any kind of automated profiling.
Cookie
Information
Cookies
are another common internet practice. Cookies are a key means of
improving user experience by allows us to customize your use of our
website. Simple information is transferred to your computer to allow
the content and experience to reflect your actions, preferences, and
so on. You should simply make the assumption our website uses
cookies, and note that you are free to make adjustments in your web
browser to disable these or otherwise receive notification of cookies
so you can take whatever desired action you so choose. Please
understand that refusing cookies may cripple some of our website
features and render some aspects useless to you.
Personal
Data Collection Examples
At
times, you will be fully aware of the information received, as you
are the direct source providing it. For instance, you may comment on
a blog post, reply to an email (whether broadcast message or an
autoresponder), provide an email address, complete a survey, request
SMS, or otherwise. Likewise, purchases necessarily involve collecting
certain information, such as credit card information, Paypal
addresses, your physical address for billing and/or shipping, phone
number, and so on. Refusing to provide some of this information may
lead to us being unable to provide you with the products or services
you’ve requested.
A
prime example of limited access to our website is where content may
be protected by a username and password. Whether a username and
password are generated by our website or created by you, these will
almost always be connected with some other information related to or
connected with you. This is true since much content that is protected
on the internet is subscription based, often paid for. Thus, the
username and password must necessarily be tied to your other account
data. Usernames and passwords, by their very nature, should be kept
private.
Handling
of Personal Information
We
reserve the right to monitor your use of this website. As you
navigate around and through this website, Usage Data may be passively
collected, that is, gathered without your actively providing the
information using various analytics and reporting technologies, such
as cookies.
Note
that any personal information you provide to others apart from us or
our vendors is wholly optional. As an example, you might disclose
something in a blog post comment. That “private” information is
now “public,” and we have no control over that. In like fashion,
you sharing information with any other third party not functioning as
a service provider to us puts that information beyond our control and
becomes subject to the policy that party has in place.
Our
primary intention for collecting personal and private information
from you is simply to conduct our business. We can use this
internally to better serve you. Accordingly, we see no reason to
share your personal information with other parties and outside
interests unless you have authorized us to do so.
Of
course, there are instances where your information is stored with
third-party service providers, such as email service providers, as
they provide services that are industry-leading in quality and
security and are far more beneficial to our end user than attempting
such services “in-house.” However, you are never required to deal
with any such third party directly, they are limited in how they use
your information, and they cannot sell or transfer it to others in
any way.
However,
of course, your information does comprise part of an overall whole.
This aggregate of information, by contrast, may be used to understand
our overall user base. Further, we may share this information about
our website visitors as a whole, not individually, with third parties
for various purposes, in our sole discretion.
While
we are staunch privacy advocates, there are times when even we may be
forced to abandon these ideals. Just as major search engines face
ongoing compulsion to provide data against their will, so too may the
same occur with our website. Illegal activity or other serious acts
or allegations could create legal liability for our website. In those
cases, we reserve the right to share your information, or else may
simply be compelled to do so by law.
On
the other hand, there may be times when we would need to share your
private information in order to protect our own interests. For
instance, in cases of suspected or alleged copyright infringement or
other intellectual property violations, it may be necessary to share
personal information.
Google
Adsense and the DoubleClick DART Cookie
Google,
as a third party advertisement vendor, may use cookies to serve ads
on this website. The use of DART cookies by Google enables them to
serve adverts to visitors that are based on their visits to this
website, including past visits, as well as other websites on the
internet.
To
opt-out of the DART cookies, you may visit the Google ad and content
network privacy policy at the following url
http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html Tracking of users through the
DART cookie mechanisms are subject to Google’s own privacy
policies.
In
some cases when where you make a purchase through a Facebook ad that
is purchased by us, your activity during the sales process will be
tracked using a pixel code. This code allows us to serve you better
by tracking these activities so we can better understand your
intentions as far as the sales process is concerned.
Other
Third Party ad servers or ad networks may also use cookies to track
users activities on this website to measure advertisement
effectiveness and other reasons that will be provided in their own
privacy policies, our website has no access or control over these
cookies that may be used by third-party advertisers.
Data
Security
We
perform sound and proper security operations consistent with
prevailing industry standards to safeguard data from unauthorized
accessibility by physical and electronic invasion. The fact is, no
data transmission over the Internet or option of data storage can
possibly be guaranteed 100% safe. Consequently, while we make every
effort to protect your Personal Information by observing generally
accepted industry standards, we can not ensure or guarantee the
absolute security of any critical information you send to us or
archive at this website.
If
you transfer Personal Information using our registration procedure or
if you purchase products or services, we encrypt that content during
transmission using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
Links
to Third-Party Websites
We
have included links on this website for your use and reference. We
are not responsible for the privacy policies on these websites. You
should be aware that the privacy policies of these websites may
differ from our own.
Comments
Policy
As
you know, Web 2.0 is all about the conversation. But without a few
simple ground rules, that conversation can turn into a shouting match
that discourages others from entering into the fray.
So
here is the Top Secret Profits comments policy. By posting on my
blog, you agree to the following:
You may comment without
registering. You can log-in via Disqus, OpenID, Twitter, Facebook—or
not at all. It’s up to you. You may post anonymously. I don’t
recommend this, but you may do so if you wish. I may change this rule
if it is abused.
You may post follow-up questions. If you have a
question, chances are you are not alone. Others are likely thinking
similarly. Therefore, I would rather receive your comments on Top
Secret Profits than via email. It is a better use of my time to
address everyone at once rather than answer several similar emails.
You
may disagree with me. I welcome debate. However, I ask that if you
disagree with me—or anyone else, for that matter—do so in a way
that is respectful. In my opinion, there is way too much shouting in
the public square to tolerate it here.
Top
Secret Profits reserves the right to delete your comments. This is my
blog. I don’t have an obligation to publish your comments. The
First Amendment gives you the right to express your opinions on your
blog, not mine.
Specifically, I will delete your comments if you
post something that is, in my sole opinion, (a)snarky; (b) off-topic;
(c) libelous, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, profane,
pornographic, offensive, false, misleading, or which otherwise
violates or encourages others to violate my sense of decorum and
civility or any law, including intellectual property laws; or (d)
“spam,” i.e., an attempt to advertise, solicit, or otherwise
promote goods and services. You may, however, post a link to your
site or your most recent blog post.
You
retain ownership of your comments. I do not own them and I expressly
disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By
commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights
in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and all
liability that may result from those postings.
You
grant Top Secret Profits a license to post your comments. This
license is worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free.
You grant me the right to store, use, transmit, display, publish,
reproduce, and distribute your comments in any format, including but
not limited to a blog, in a book, a video, or presentation.
In
short, my goal is to host interesting conversations with caring,
honest, and respectful people. I believe this simple comments policy
will facilitate this.
CHANGE NOTICE: As with any of our
administrative and legal notice pages, the contents of this page can
and will change over time. Accordingly, this page could read

necessitated, and carried out by Top Secret Profits, in order to

important to you, you should check back frequently as no other notice
of changed content will be provided either before or after the change
takes effect.
