SPEEDHEALING.COM, SAMUEL PUBLISHING, & I.A.L. - Privacy Policy

We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. So we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy states how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, and any newsletters, discussion lists and opt-in announcement lists that may as time goes on be owned and operated by Samuel Publishing, I.A.L. or Speedhealing.com (The I.A.L. Network includes all Web sites and certain other Internet media properties hyper linked from the Speedhealing.com home page.) The following discloses our Privacy Policy.

What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web Site within the Speedhealing.com Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our Site. We may use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of the Speedhealing.com Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. See also Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties? We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

From time to time, Samuel Publishing, I.A.L., Speedhealing.com or its advertisers may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other Web sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We may use cookies to identify which areas of Speedhealing.com Network of Web Sites you have visited or customized, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible. Our advertisers may also use cookies to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. Our advertisers and we may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you see on our Site. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our Site and other Web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

Speedhealing.com and its advertisers may use single-pixel gif images, sometimes referred to as web bugs or web beacons, to count Web page accesses and gather some general statistical information. No personal information is gathered through the use of these images. Our advertisers may use single-pixel gifs that can track personal information from cookies that may have been previously placed on a user's computer by an advertiser.

What information do you collect when I register for something?

Samuel Publishing, Speedhealing.com, or I.A.L. may offer access to some services that are free but that require registration. We may use your registration contact information to send notification of products and services from either of these by e-mail and/or postal mail. We also may share that information with our clients. Our clients may send you promotional material that is related to the topic of the service for which you registered unless you have chosen not to receive it. We may also use your IP address internally and share it with third parties. See Will you disclose the information that you collect to outside third parties?

What other information do you request?

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about seminars). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.

We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new products and services.  Except as stated above, Speedhealing.com, will not send you email that you have not agreed to receive.  If you choose to supply your postal address in an online form, you may receive mailings from the same or third party companies.

When you sign up for a I.A.L. forum, your name or alias is recorded primarily for purposes of maintaining your own account within the forums. This information is also used to monitor your activity within the forum, yet it is not used to identify you outside the Speedhealing.com Network in any way.

When you enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask for your name, address, and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.

What information do you collect when I purchase something?

If you are purchasing something from a Samuel Publishing property, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number, and expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. This information may also be used by us to notify you of related products and services. Credit card and e-mail information will not be shared or sold to third parties for any purpose without your express permission.

Certain Speedhealing.com or Samuel Publishing media properties use a shopping cart feature that safeguards this information by using industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted servers. SSL codes the information transferred between you and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information. Other Samuel Publishing or Speedhealing.com media properties do not use SSL and thereby do not offer a secure coded way to transfer information.

Wherever Speedhealing.com collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
