What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We collect information which you supply to us when you leave a comment, respond to a survey, order or purchase a product, respond to a giveaway or contest, enter information in a form like a signup form or communicate via a contact form, register for an account, conduct a search query using our search feature or call, text, fax or send a hard copy through the mail or by delivery service.
This information may include your contact details, including but not limited to your name, address, email address, company name, company information, phone number, and credit card. If an order is made via a credit card, those details are transmitted thru a third party’s secure system such as Amazon or Paypal.
We use the information you provide in the contact form so we can respond to your inquiries. Please do not use the contact form on AnnEverett.com to send any type of confidential or sensitive information.
We use the information collected to analyze how our website is used, improve our website’s performance, personalize your experience, improve our customer service, administer contests, promotions, surveys or other site features, send periodic emails regarding your order, product or other services, deliver the requested product and/or service, or provide you with offers, promotions and other information. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Like most website operators, Ann Everett collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Ann Everett’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Ann Everett’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Ann Everett may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Ann Everett also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Ann Everett. Ann Everett only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Ann Everett discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Ann Everett ‘s behalf or to provide services available at Ann Everett ‘s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using v’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Ann Everett will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described herein, Ann Everett discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Ann Everett believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Ann Everett, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Ann Everett’s website and have supplied your email address, Ann Everett may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Ann Everett and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Ann Everett takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
