PERSONAL INFORMATION
As part of our using and accessing our website, we may collect some personal information about you. This information is received and collected in various ways and is needed:
- To communicate with you to request information and feedback;
- To improve the quality of and to grow our services; and
- To personalize your experience on our website.
Sensitive Information. We do not knowingly accept sensitive information. We specifically request that you do not provide sensitive information to us through our website. Sensitive information includes your social security number, driver’s license, birth date, tax number, identification card, civil registration number, or health insurance information.
General Submission Form. If you request that we send Like A Sister content to your email address, you may use our general online submission form. When completing this form, please only include your name, email address, zip code, and a brief comment or message about our services. We may also request that you identify how you learned about Like A Sister. Again, please do not share any sensitive information in this submission form. Once you have signed up to receive our content, we will do our best to email you as soon as possible.
Payment Information. If we collect your billing address, we may keep it in an invoice for our records on a secure server, which is a protected, electronic filing cabinet that stores all of your information we have collected, our information, and information of others. If we collect your credit card or debit card information, it and your billing address is sent to our vendor to process your payment.
We do not store any credit card or debit card information.
IP Address. Some of the information we collect is identified by a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is a unique number assigned to you by someone else, typically your internet service provider (ISP), such as Verizon® or Comcast®, or through a device, such as a router or modem, that allows you to connect to the Internet. While these numbers may appear to be nothing more than a string of numbers with periods, an IP address has the ability to potentially identify you. For example, in some circumstances, an ISP may be subpoenaed, which is a legal request for information, with such request asking an ISP to identify the account subscriber connected with an IP address that the ISP issued. In response, an ISP, subject to certain rights and responsibilities, may provide an account subscriber’s information, which may include the name, address, and other contact information of an account subscriber. While the likelihood of this circumstance is remote for most IP addresses, we wanted you to at least know why an IP address may be considered personal information as opposed to strictly anonymous information.
