This Online Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") provides Visitors and Users of Contentwriters.com (collectively, "You") with important information regarding ContentWriters' collection, storage and use of personally identifiable information.
This Privacy Policy applies only to personally identifiable information collected on the website(s) operated by ContentWriters on which this Privacy Policy is posted (collectively, "Website"), and does not apply to any other information collected by ContentWriters offline or through any other means.
Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy are defined in the ContentWriters Terms of Service.
Requests for Registration Information
ContentWriters collects personally identifiable information from Users only when Users voluntarily provide it as part of the registration process ("Registration Information") to open an Account. ContentWriters never automatically collects any information that specifically identifies Users, such as their name, address, or e-mail address.
It is the User's choice whether or not to provide Registration Information to ContentWriters, but such information is required in order for ContentWriters to provide you with services - namely, access to and/or participation in Assignments, to post Assignments and receive Writer Services, and certain other features of the Website.
Other Use of Personally Identifiable Information
ContentWriters may request and use personally identifiable information from Users for purposes other than to open an Account. For example, such requests may be made to enable Users to subscribe to a newsletter, participate in surveys and promotions, receive technical support, and invite friends to register with contentwriters.com.
Your personally identifiable information may be used internally within ContentWriters and its subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information in conformance with our Privacy Policy. We require that such other businesses and persons agree to comply with our Privacy Policy. For example, ContentWriters may use Your personally identifiable information internally to provide access to You and process Your contributions to projects, to understand who uses the Website, to improve the Website, to provide updates on special events, news, and announcements of interest to our Users, and to contact You for customer service, payment, and billing purposes.
ContentWriters reserves the right to disclose Your personally identifiable information under limited circumstances in the event ContentWriters believes that the Website is being used to commit unlawful acts; if disclosure of Your personally identifiable information is required to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or with a court or administrative order; or will help to enforce our Terms of Service, to protect Your safety or security (including the safety and security of property that belongs to You) or to protect the safety and security of the Website or third parties.
From time to time, we may purchase a business or sell one or more of our businesses and Your personally identifiable information may be transferred as a part of the purchase or sale. The personally identifiable information transferred as a part of the purchase or sale would be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, if it is practicable and permissible to do so.
If at any time You decide to remove Your personally identifiable information from our database, You may do so by emailing us at [email protected].
Non-personally identifying information
Non-personally identifying information (information that does not identify any particular User) will be requested and utilized by ContentWriters to improve the services provided to Users and to market such services.
