Your privacy is important to us. We hate spammers just as much as you do.
This page explains our online information gathering practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
The Information We Collect
This section applies to all information collected and/or submitted on the Atkin Associates, LLC website.
On some pages, you can order products, make requests, and sign up to receive free materials. On other pages, you can freely submit your comments and add to the discussion.
Regardless of the information you’re submitting, we do everything in our power to keep it secure. And for information that is submitted to us privately, we do everything possible to keep that information confidential.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide about yourself specifically to process your online requests. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete your request.
We will never use or share your personal information in ways unrelated to the ones described above without providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. We will not trade, sell, or otherwise misuse your personal information — you have our word.
Opt-Out Whenever You Choose
If you decide to subscribe to our content, your email address will automatically be added to our mailing list. However, you may opt-out at any time. A link is included in each and every email we send, so you always have the option to unsubscribe from the list.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may optin to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have have left comments on this site, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
