Policy for FloridaRetirementInfo.com
We

those visiting and interacting with Floridaretirementinfo.com.
We
hold the privacy of your personal information

decisions when using our site.
This
policy will be continuously assessed against
new technologies, business practices and our
customers' needs.
What
Information Do We Collect?: When you visit
any of our web sites or in-person you may provide
us with two types of information: personal
information you knowingly choose to disclose
that is collected on an individual basis and
Web site use information collected on an aggregate
basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Registration
Information: When you register
for any of our products, services or newsletters
you will provide us information about yourself.
Email
Information: If you choose to correspond with
us through email, we may retain the content
of your email messages together with your email
address and our responses. We provide the same
protections for these electronic communications
that we employ in the maintenance of information
received by mail and telephone.
2.
Web Site Use Information
Similar
to other commercial Web sites, our Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?")
and web server log files to collect information
about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through cookies and Web server logs
may include the date and time of visits, the
pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and
the Web sites visited just before and just
after our Web site.
How
Do We Use the Information That You Provide
to Us?: Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes
of administering our business activities, providing
the products and services you requested, to
process a payment, to monitor the use of the
service, our marketing and promotional efforts
and improve our content and service offerings,
and customize our site's content, layout, services
and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve
our site and better tailor it to meet your
needs. Furthermore, such information may be
shared with others on an aggregate basis. Personally
identifiable information or business information
will not be shared with parties except as required
by law.
Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our
Website, new services, and special offers we
think you will find valuable. You may notify
us at any time if you do not wish to receive
these offers by emailing us at the link provided
on the newsletter.
What
Are Cookies?: A
cookie is a very small text document, which
often includes an anonymous unique identifier.
When you visit a Web site, that site's computer
asks your computer for permission to store
this file in a part of your hard drive specifically
designated for cookies. Each Web site can send
its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your
privacy) your browser only permits a Web site
to access the cookies it has already sent to
you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.
However, if you would prefer not to receive
cookies, you may alter the configuration of
your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose
to have your browser refuse cookies, it is
possible that some areas of our site will not
function as effectively when viewed by the
users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data
from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How
Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?:
As you visit and browse our Web site, the site
uses cookies to differentiate you from other
users. In some cases, we also use cookies to
prevent you from having to log in more than
is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction
with our Web server's log files, allow us to
calculate the aggregate number of people visiting
our Web site and which parts of the site are
most popular. This helps us gather feedback
to constantly improve our Web site and better
serve our clients. Cookies do not allow us
to gather any personal information about you
and we do not intentionally store any personal
information that your browser provided to us
in your cookies.
IP Addresses: IP
addresses are used by your computer every time
you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address
is a number that is used by computers on the
network to identify your computer. IP addresses
are automatically collected by our web server
as part of demographic and profile data known
as traffic data so that data (such as the Web
pages you request) can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling Information: We
do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify
a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except
to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that
you have requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your
Information?: You may request access to all your
personally identifiable information that we collect
online and maintain in our database by emailing
us at the usual address.
What
About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?: We
may disclose information when legally compelled
to do so, in other words, when we, in good
faith, believe that the law requires it or
for the protection of our legal rights. We
may also disclose account information when
we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against someone who may
be violating our Terms of Service or to protect
the safety of our users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to
Our Web Site?: We are not responsible for the
practices employed by Web sites linked to or
from our Web sites or the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites
are provided solely as pointers to information
on topics that may be useful to the users of
our Web site.
Please
remember that when you use a link to go from
our Websites to another web site, our Privacy
Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing
and interaction on any other web site, including
web sites, which have a link on our Website,
is subject to that Web site's own rules and
policies. Please read over those rules and
policies before proceeding.
Your Consent: By using our Web site
you consent to our collection and use of your
personal information as described in this Privacy
Policy. We reserve the right to amend this privacy
policy at any time with or without notice.
Our
Commitment To Data Security: Please
note that your information will be stored and
processed on our computers in the United States.
The laws on holding personal data in the United
States may be less stringent than the laws
of your Country of residence or citizenship.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data
accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information,
we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out:
Our sites allow visitors to unsubscribe so
that they will not receive future messages.
There is a link to unsubscribe in every email
you receive from us. After unsubscribing we
will discontinue sending the particular messages
as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys & Contests: From
time-to-time our site requests information from
users via surveys or contests. Participation
in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or
not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such
as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, age level). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
Note
About Children: Children are not eligible to
use our services unsupervised and we ask that
children (under the age of 14) do not submit
any personal information to us. If you are
a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction
with permission and guidance from your parents
or guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in Ownership: In the event that the web site (or a substantial
portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered
part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy
Modifications: We may change this Privacy Policy
from time to time. If/when changes are made
to this privacy policy, we will email users
who have given us permission to do so. We will
post any changes here, so be sure to check
back periodically. However, please be assured
that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future,
we will not use the personal information you
have submitted to us under this Privacy Policy
in a manner that is materially inconsistent
with this Privacy Policy, without your prior
consent.
