Siegel's Practice Review Privacy Policy
Effective: March, 2003
1. Purpose and Scope
This policy discloses what information we gather about
you when you visit siegelspracticereview.com or use our services or buy
any products from us. It describes how we use that information in detail.
2. Information Siegel's Practice Review gathers
and tracks
Siegel's Practice Review collects two kinds of information
about users: 1) data that users volunteer by signing up to receive news
and product information, completing surveys, or buying directly from us;
and 2) aggregated tracking data we collect when users interact with us.
3. Personal information
We use the personal information you provide voluntarily
to send information you've requested and to fulfill orders. The specific
use of your personal information varies, depending on how you contact
us:
- When you subscribe to Siegel's Practice Review
to receive our monthly print newsletter and/or utilize our web site
services or receive product information, you must provide an email address.
We never sell or rent to anyone the email address you provide when subscribing
to our services.
- When you order a Siegel's Practice Review
subscription, either in print form or digitally through our web site,
we add you to our mailing list and will contact you only regarding Siegel's
Practice Review.
- When you respond to a survey, we may ask
for your name, address, and email address. We release personal information
only when necessary to comply with the law or to protect the rights
of Siegel's Practice Review and our subscribers and users. This may
include exchanging information with other companies and organizations
for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
4. Aggregated tracking information
We analyze visitors' use of our site by tracking
information such as pageviews, traffic flow, search terms, and click through.
We use this information to improve our sites.
5. Log Files
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to analyze
trends, administer the site, and track user movement. IP addresses are
not linked to personally identifiable information.
6. Cookie usage
We use "cookie" technology to manage subscriber page
access and to track user traffic patterns. A cookie is a block of data
that a Web server stores on a client system. When a user returns to the
same Web site, the browser sends a copy of the cookie back to the server.
Our cookies are used to identify users, to allow paid subscribers access
to our article database, to submit account information for the user, and
for other administrative purposes. Cookies make visiting a website easier
for you by saving your preferences while you are at the site. The use
of cookies is an industry standard and you will find them at many websites.
If you block cookies, you will not be able to access some areas of the
site, its features or functions. Cookies cannot be used to access private
information from a user's hard drive.
7. Surveys
We may run surveys on our site in which we ask our
users for contact information (like their email address). We may use the
customer contact information from the entry form to send the user information
about our company and its products, or to contact them when it becomes
necessary (notices like new services, subscription changes, etc...).
8. Security
This site has security measures in place to protect
the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control. All
the data regarding users, their computers' system information and benchmark
results are stored on a server. This server is located in a locked and
guarded space and only authorized Siegel's Practice Review personnel have
access to the database containing given user names and passwords.
9. Notification of Changes
If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post those
changes on www.siegelspracticereview.com. If we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users via email giving them the opportunity
to "opt-out", i.e., bar such different use.
10. Reviewing personal data
You can review and validate the information that we
have collected about you by logging into your account at www.siegelspracticereview.com
and reviewing your personal account information.
11. Contacting the Web Site

statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with it, just
