Michele L. Ackerman is concerned about privacy issues and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use, maintain and disclose information.
This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information we collect through this website, located at https://micheleackerman.com (referred to as the “Site” in the policy below).
Personal Identification Information
We may collect personal identification information from you in a variety of ways. For example, information may be gathered when you visit our Site, register on the website, place an order, subscribe to the newsletter, fill out a form or respond to a survey and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available. You may be asked for name, email address, mailing address, phone number and credit card information.
We will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information. You can always choose to not supply personal identification information, but it may prevent you from engaging in certain Site activities.
Some of the services on this Site allow you to send us an email. We will use the information only to respond to your inquiry. Keep in mind that email transmissions are not encrypted by default, so we suggest you do not send sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, or bank account information via such contact forms.
If such information is required, it will be via a web page that clearly states the page and its transmission of information is secure and encrypted. All electronic messages received from visitors are deleted when no longer needed.
We never gather sensitive information about you, including social security number, racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, religion or other beliefs, health, biometric or genetic characteristics, trade union membership or criminal background.

Social Media Platforms and Third-Party Services
We use commenting and social media plug-ins and third-party services in order to interact with visitors and build our community. We also use these services to measure the number of visitors to our Site and make it more useful to visitors.
We do not use third-party services to collect personal information from individuals. Any personal information collected by third-party websites will not be stored or transmitted. We have no control over or access to specific information or any other sensitive personal information provided to third-party websites.
How We Use Collected Information
We collect and use personal information and technological information to respond to inquiries and fulfill requests, personalize your experience on the Site, improve the Site, process transactions, administer a promotion, survey or other feature, send periodic emails and prevent or detect security incidents, fraud and criminal activity.
How We Protect Your Information
Though no data transmission over the internet or data storage system can be guaranteed secure, we have adopted security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed or accessed without authorization.
All information is secured through modern security technologies like secure socket layer (SSL), encryption, firewalls and secure passwords.
Sharing Personal Information
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal identification information to others.
We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above.
We may use third-party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf. For example, third-party services may be used to process payments and fulfill orders, send out newsletters or surveys, measure ad performance, manage promotions and analyze research data.

Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our website, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies.
The inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply endorsement of the linked website. We are never directly compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics.
