Hello there!

It’s important to me treat information you might share as a website visitor or newsletter subscriber with great respect and in compliance with applicable laws. Below you can read more details about this site’s privacy and cookie policies. Thanks for stopping by!

Wishing you joy,

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.theklarichter.com (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, the Site automatically collects certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, it collects information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. I refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

The site collects Device Information using the following technologies to improve your user experience and fulfill the services you have requested:

– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you make a purchase through the Site, my payment processor Paypal collects certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. I refer to this information as “Order Information.”

If you contact me through the site’s Contact Form or sign up for my e-letter, I will use your information to contact you as you have requested. I refer to this information as “Contact Information.”

When this policy refers to “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, the term includes Device Information, Contact Information and Order Information.

HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION USED?

I use the Order Information that I collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, scheduling appointments, fulfilling e-book orders, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, I use this Order Information to:

Communicate with you;
Screen orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with me, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

I use the Device Information that the site collects to help screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize the Site (for example, by generating analytics about how customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of marketing and advertising campaigns).

I use the Contact Information to communicate with you in the ways you have requested, such as responding to a question you have submitted via the site’s contact form, or sending you e-letters that you have signed up to receive.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

I share your Personal Information with certain third parties to help me use your Personal Information, for the purposes described above. For example, I use Paypal to collect payments–you can read more about how Paypal uses your Personal Information here. I also use Google Analytics to help understand how customers use the Site–you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics. I use Mailchimp to manage my e-letter subscriptions– you can read Mailchimp’s Privacy Policy here. I may also use additional third-party business services to effectively carry out the purposes for which you have provided your Personal Information while also respecting your privacy.

I use several third-party social media tools on my site which you may choose to interact with to like or share my content. You may read the Facebook privacy policy and the Twitter privacy policy to learn more.

Finally, I may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect my rights.
