This Web site is maintained by: Inspired Arts & Media, LLC, Inc.,
We can be reached by e-mail at info@inspired.com. Please include the words "Privacy Policy" in the subject line of your e-mail.
Summary
Inspired Arts & Media, LLC takes
your online privacy seriously. You may visit this site anonymously
as often as you like without providing any personally identifying
information (such as your name, address or e-mail address).
We do not collect personally identifying information from you
except when you specifically provide it, and we protect the
information we receive. If you ask to be added to a newsletter
or other subscription list, we will use a cookie to keep track
of your requests so that you can easily check and revise your
subscriptions. We also use cookies to identify your browser
so that we can provide the best link to our site. We never
share your e-mail address with third parties except in cases
where you have linked to our Shopping Cart service through
another publisher's website and, in rare instances, to protect
our site or to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use. Please
read below for a further explanation of what information we
gather and how we use it.
The Information You Provide
As you explore our
website, you will come across places in which we ask you to
provide us voluntarily with information about yourself. In
most of these instances we are seeking only your e-mail address
so that we can send you the specific information that you request,
such as a newsletter or online subscription or purchase. In
other instances, such as a contest, we request both your e-mail
address and your name (along with your contest answer), so
that we can contact you by name in the event that you win.
If you choose to purchase an item through our direct sales
service, we will need to collect additional information for
billing and shipping, such as your full name, home address
and credit card information. All of these activities--the subscriptions,
contests and on-line purchases--are purely voluntary; if you
do not wish to reveal your name, e-mail address or other information,
you are free simply to ignore these offerings. If you decide
to participate, we will not use your name or e-mail address
for any purpose other than as stated, and will not sell or
rent your name or address to third parties not affiliated with
Inspired Arts & Media, LLC. If you purchase an item from our website we may
share your credit card information with an independent third
party service whose function is to verify the information you
provide, and we will store and make available information about
recent purchases made through our website using your password.
In addition, if you have been linked to our Shopping Cart service
through the website of another publisher to complete your online
purchase of that publisher's books, we will share information
about you and your purchase with that publisher.
At other places in this site, we ask for your feedback, opinion or suggestions, and provide you with a link for e-mailing us your response. We may also ask for your zip code or city of residence to gather geographical information about the visitors to our site. If you send your e-mail to us, it will include your e-mail address in the "From" line. But again, as in the case of subscriptions and contests, we promise to use the e-mail address we receive in this manner only for the purpose of responding to your questions or suggestions, and will not approach you with unsolicited offers or provide your e-mail address to anyone else.
One last area in which we ask for your name is on bulletin boards or forums--places on the site where you can participate in a discussion of a particular subject by posting written comments which are then entirely public. We ask for a name simply so that other people reading a string of comments will be able to determine which comments come from the same person. You may, therefore, provide a nickname or alias, if you prefer, so that your identity is not disclosed. You should be aware that if you do voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g. user name, e-mail address) on the bulletin boards or forums, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or parties. If you choose to participate anonymously, you should remember that you are still legally liable for the material you post, including claims of libel, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.
Removing Your E-mail Address
If you have previously
provided us with your e-mail address and later decide that
you do not want us to have it, please follow the instructions
to unsubscribe contained at the end of your e-mail message
from us. We will try to accommodate your request, but cannot
promise that it will happen immediately.
Cookies
Cookies are electronic
tags that most major websites place on your computer in the
process of sending your computer a file, such as a Web page.
We use them in a limited fashion as well. In essence, a cookie
is a unique bit of computer code that is placed on your computer
the first time you visit our site. It tells us simply when
a computer that has previously visited our site returns, and
it identifies your computer's browser and operating system
to help us make the best connection. We also use cookies to
keep track of your subscriptions to various Inspired Arts & Media, LLC lists.
In no event does the cookie we place on your computer tell
us anything about your visits to other websites or your use
of the Internet in any other way.
If you would prefer not to receive any cookies, most browsers can be set to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being sent. It is possible, however, that some portions of this site may not function properly if the cookies are disabled.
Links to Other Sites
Our site contains links
to other sites that are not under our control, even though
they may use the Inspired Arts & Media, LLC name or logo on their site through
an agreement with us. Such other sites do not necessarily follow
our privacy policies, and may place their own cookies on your
computer. This practice is standard on the Web, and we do not
control cookies placed on your computer by third parties whose
advertising or links appear on our site.
Security of Private Information
We would like to be
able to tell you that the information you provide us is absolutely
safe. Unfortunately, several well-publicized instances of computer
security breaches make it impossible for anyone to be so confident.
The most we can tell you is that we take reasonable steps to
protect the information you provide us from theft, alteration
or unauthorized inspection. In addition, in rare instances,
we will disclose private information to necessary parties to
protect our site or other visitors, or to enforce compliance
with our Terms of Use.
Kids
We do not at present
collect any personally identifying information from children
under age 13. Our policy may change in the future, so please
check back here regularly to get our latest policy.
Parents and Guardians
We encourage you to
get involved with your children's online usage and to be aware
of the activities in which they are participating. We also
ask you to check back here regularly to see what our latest
policies are, particularly those relating to children.
You should be aware that if your children voluntarily disclose their names, e-mail addresses or other information on bulletin boards or chat areas of other Web sites, such disclosures may result in unsolicited messages from other parties. We suggest that you discourage your child from providing such information on this site or elsewhere unless you are confident that the information will not be misused.
If you have any concerns regarding privacy issues, please contact us at the above e-mail address, and browse away!
