EmpoweredParent.com has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: http://www.joanbramsch.com.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. We will never sell or give away our visitors' or customers' personal information to third parties for purposes of building contact lists, or uses of similar nature. We value You and your family's trust.

Our site's ezine registration form requires users to give us contact information (like their name and email address). The customer's contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary. Ezine subscribers may opt-out of receiving future mailings at any time; see the choice/opt-out section below.

This site contains links to other sites. EmpoweredParent.com and Joan Bramsch are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

The on-site search engine is powered by Atomz.com, whose privacy statement asserts WE DO NOT SELL, TRADE, EXCHANGE OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION.

Our site uses an order form for customers to purchase e-books. For this we collect visitor's contact information (like their email address) and financial information (like their account or credit card numbers). Contact information from the order form is used to send orders to our customers. The customer's contact information is used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary. Users do not receive further mailings, advertisements, or updates. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services.

We run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information (like their email address). The customer's contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users do not receive future mailings other than notification of individual winners.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Firewalls are in place, and the embedded e-book order forms run through a secure server for your protection.
