Terms of Agreement
If you want to join our online community or subscribe to an email newsletter, you need to provide your name and email. You can read and access plenty of content without sharing your personal information. If you join, you agree to provide accurate, updated information. In addition to name and email, we also ask for zip code, which we pool as aggregate, statistical, non-personal information. If you want to join the conversation online, neither your email address nor your zip code is shared or displayed to other users. All our email newsletter lists are double opt-in. Each email you will receive clearly displays a link to unsubscribe with a simple click. We may store the personal information collected in order to preserve data and comply with federal and state laws.
 

Aggregate, Non-personal Information
To manage WritersDojo.org, protect the security of our users and the Web site, improve service and features, and to sell online ads, we may collect aggregate and non-personal information about our users’ activities on WritersDojo.org. This could be internet server and browser identification, internet service provider, and click-stream information—for instance, the link that brought a visitor to our site, pages visited, and duration of visit—as well as domain type and IP address. None of this aggregate data reveals your personal identity. In addition, according to laws and standards, user IP addresses may be recorded for security and monitoring purposes.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
The rare instances when disclosing users' personal information could occur include: when it is required by law; when disclosure is needed to operate the site or certain services; in order to protect the safety of our users, employees or property; and/or when disclosure is consistent with Writers’ Dojo practices for services that are similarly provided offline.

We may share personal information with our parents, partners, affiliates, or other entities for other purposes. We may share your personal information with our operational providers or those persons, companies or agents who provide support for the internal operations of the Web site, such as maintenance and technical services, in order to address any issues with which you may need assistance.

Information Collection and Use by Advertisers
We do not rent or sell our list. But WritersDojo.org does use a mix of advertising methods to serve ads when you visit. We may post banner ads and other forms of advertisements, and/or links to the sites of affiliate entities or of advertisers or sponsors which are companies that are not owned or operated by WritersDojo.org. These entities may independently solicit and collect personal info, or send their own “cookies”. When you click on an ad to browse a site, you will be subject to that site’s privacy policy and terms of usage agreement. We will do our best to only connect with trustworthy sources, but for the purposes of disclosure, we can not be responsible for advertiser or sponsor ads and/or links or the content, activities, information collection, use, and disclosure practices of other companies.
 

Cookies
As is a common practice with most membership-based Web sites, WritersDojo.org relies on cookies. A cookie is a small data file that contains a unique identification number that a Web site places on a hard drive. The "cookie" is able to store information such as the type of browser you use and how many times your computer visits. Cookies do not allow access to private information on your hard drive. Cookies enable us to track how often users are visiting specific pages. You can refuse to use cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use most of this website. However, you may find that some areas on the website will be slower, or may not function at all, and you may not be able to participate in certain activities if the cookies are disabled. Our Web advertising partners may set cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by WritersDojo.org and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Security
This security statement is in connection with your membership information. If you are shopping online with us, your credit card information is secure through our credit card system. In terms of membership information, we take all standard, reasonable and legal measures to protect information and maintain the privacy of our members. User profiles are password protected. We restrict access of user information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions. Please be advised that we cannot guarantee security of your account information. Though unlikely, unauthorized entry, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of member information at any time.

Policy Changes
We will review our security and privacy policies and we may modify them in the future. Sometimes this is needed as we add new services or features. We will post these changes in this policy. Changes may incur without notice, however, if it is something drastic, users will be notified and have the opportunity to quickly and easily opt out of the list and/or membership.
