| COMMITMENT
TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by Ingrid Wright, LCSW. Your
privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. I want
to make your experience online satisfying and safe. Because I gather
certain types of information about web visitors, I feel you should
fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture
and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what
information we gather and how I use it.
INFORMATION GATHERED AND TRACKED
IngridWright.com gathers two types of information about users:
1. Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions.
These are voluntary submissions to receive my electronic newsletters,
to participate in my message boards or forums, to email a friend,
and from participation in polls and surveys.
2. Information IngridWright.com gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our
sites. This information allows me to better tailor my website's
content to readers' needs and to help advertisers and sponsors better
understand the demographics of my audience. Because IngridWright.com
derives a portion of it's revenues from sponsorships and advertising,
providing such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping
this website service cost effective to users.
Under no circumstances do Idivulge any information about an individual
user to a third party.
Ingrid Wright.com Gathers User Information In The Following
Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of
voluntary submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. eNonProfits
gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe.
Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following
the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription
management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at
the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site’s Message Boards and Forums must register
separately for these services (both are free of charge) in order
to post messages, although they needn't register to visit the site.
During registration the user is required to supply a username, password,
and email address.
3. “E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page,
or documents to someone else by clicking “e-mail this to a
friend”. The user must provide their email address, as well
as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case
of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know
who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share
their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks
about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are
aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. eNonProfits
may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted,
so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is
not correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
eNonProfits may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target
our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic
information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and
partners. We never share any of this information about specific
individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
IngridWright.com tracks user traffic patterns throughout the site.
However, I do not correlate this information with data about individual
users. IngridWright.com does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by
reading this information from the browser string (information contained
in every user's browser).
IngridWright.com sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms
that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never
associated with individual users. We use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users
read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps
us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal
Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this
site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided.
But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk
or read cookie files created by other sites.
IngridWright.com uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as
described above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie
to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If
you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you
will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need
to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need
cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling
and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
IngridWright.com uses any information voluntarily given by our users
to enhance their experience in our site, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future
content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, I use information that users voluntarily provide
in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users
to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. I
send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending
on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when
I think subscribers might be particularly interested in something
I am doing. IngridWright.com never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When I use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
I do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps me continue to build a better
service for you. I track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't
track which terms a particular user enters.
IngridWright.com creates aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This
allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows
our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their
needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users,
an advertiser or
sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We
will not disclose any information about any individual user except
to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect
the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
IngridWright.com uses the above-described information to tailor
our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand
our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service
free. We will not share information about individual users with
any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or
to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
IngridWright.com operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security
and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include:
· Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
· Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas,
which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this
information by IngridWright.com. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are
always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under what circumstances we disclose it.

policies, please call us at 212.2605162 or send us an email at privacy@IngridWright.com
