The Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information
collected or submitted on the Proof-Reading.com website.
On some pages, you can order services, make
requests, and register to receive materials. The types of
personal information collected on these pages are:
The Way We Use Information
We use the information you provide about yourself when
placing an order only to complete that order, fulfill
the requested services, and send communications related
to our service
if you register (for example, we may send a “thank you” package
for your patronage). We do not share this information
with outside parties except to the extent necessary to
complete that order. Typically, we share the necessary
information with our editors in order to proofread your
documents.
We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is
necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for
maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these
communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive
them, you have the option to deactivate your account.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to
share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of
individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z
number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything
that could be used to identify those individuals. To accomplish this type of analysis
we use both cookies and log file data.
Like most standard Website servers we use log files. This
includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type,
internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform
type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate,
and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally
identifiable information, except to prevent fraud.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the
user. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies for navigation and browser
session maintenance and to understand traffic patterns generally on our site. For the
session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A
persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended
period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help
file directions. Session ID cookies are not tied to your personal information. Some of our business
partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control
over these cookies
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable
information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary
to
protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding,
court order, or legal process served on our Website.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable
information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the
ones described above without
also giving you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit
such unrelated uses.
Service Providers
We use Authorizenet.com to provide credit card processing on our site. When you sign up for
editing services, we will share billing information as necessary for the third party to
provide that service.

of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important.
For that reason, we do not knowingly collect or maintain information
on our website from those we know to be
under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract
anyone under 13.
