"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personal identification information, but they do enable us to provide features such as welcoming you back to our site using your name and storing items in your shopping cart between visits. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features on our site, including placing items in your shopping cart and purchasing them.

We use E-Junkie e-commerce scripts to operate the shopping cart functions but neither E-Junkie nor the SmallBiz Marketing Tips site collects any of your personal credit card information. Credit card information is only given to either PayPal or Google Checkout, whichever is chosen during the checkout process. Both PayPal and Google Checkout encrypt all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address so that unauthorized persons cannot access it over the Internet. You and your information are secure while shopping at the SmallBiz Marketing Tips website.

Secure Website Browsing
Once you enter the Checkout process (when you're ready to purchase the items you have put into your Shopping Cart), your connection to the PayPal or Google Checkout server becomes secure. To confirm this, look at the bottom of your browser window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser) you can be sure that your information is secure.

You can also ensure security by checking the URL line of your browser. When you enter the secure area, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https".

Data Collection In A Secure Environment
In several areas of our site, we ask you to provide information by filling out and submitting an online form. These areas include...

1) Newsletter subscription where we ask for your name and email in order to send you monthly content.

2) Other forms, where we ask for your e-mail address and other information as needed.

Data Use
The information we collect is never used personally, rather it's used to improve our Web site (in the case of customer feedback), to mail out our opt-in e-zines or to notify consumers about updates to our Web site (in the case of subscription forms), and for special notices to our customers who purchase one or more products (in the case of successful orders through the Order Form).

We aggregate statistics about our online sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors. We may share these with related third parties, but these general statistics never include any information about you (or anyone else) personally. We never provide your personal data to any third party. As a strict policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share your e-mail address with any other company or third party.

Communications
We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. If you prefer not to receive information from us, either through e-mail, postal mail or by phone, please let us know by completing our Contact Form. Or, in the case of e-zines, simply click on the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each mailing.

By purchasing online, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new products and services or upcoming events. Again, you can unsubscribe from these at any time.
