We will ask for your permission when we need to collect information that personally identifies you (personal information) or that allows us to contact you.

If you decide to register, you will be able to select the types of information you want to receive from us by subscribing to various services, like electronic newsletters. If you do not want us to communicate with you about other offers regarding NicheArticle.net products, programs, events, or services by email, postal mail, or telephone, you may select upon registration the option stating that you do not wish to receive marketing messages from NicheArticle.net.

SECURITY

NicheArticle.net has taken strong measures to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices are honored. We take strong precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

We guarantee your e-commerce transactions to be 100% safe and secure. When you place orders on NicheArticle.net or access your personal account information, you are utilizing secure server software (SSL) that encrypts your personal information before it is sent over the Internet. SSL is one of the safest encryption technologies available.

In addition, your transactions are guaranteed under the Fair Credit Billing Act. This Act states that your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 in fraudulent credit card charges. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its rules and procedures.

You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your user name and password, so do not share these with others. We also strongly recommend using passwords that are very hard to guess and avoid all common names, nicknames, dates of birth, colors, cities, a sequence of numbers, phone numbers, words such as “password”, “secret”, “accountpass”, etc. NicheArticle.net recommends using non-dictionary words that combine numbers, symbols and upper and lower case characters.

ENFORCEMENT

If for some reason you believe NicheArticle.net has not adhered to these principles, please notify us by contacting us, and we will do our best to correct the problem promptly. Please use the words “Privacy Policy” in the subject line of the email.

CUSTOMER PROFILES

Every registered client has a unique personal profile. Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification number, which helps us ensure that only you can access your profile. When you register, we create your profile, assign you a personal identification number, then send this personal identification number back to your computer in the form of a cookie, which is a very small bit of code. This code is uniquely yours. It is your passport to seamlessly travel across NicheArticle.net, allowing you to order free newsletters without having to fill out registration forms.

WHAT WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION YOU SHARE

When you register on our site, you provide us with your contact information, including your name and email address. We use this information to send you updates about your account, questionnaires to measure your satisfaction with our service and announcements about services offered. When you use our services, we ask for your credit card number and billing address. We use this information only to bill you for the service(s) you have ordered.

NicheArticle.net will never disclose your personal information unless it is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on NicheArticle.net or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of NicheArticle.net and its family of websites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of NicheArticle.net, its websites, or the public.

HOW NICHEARTICLE.NET USES COOKIES

As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, NicheArticle.net uses cookies to store information about users. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to a user’s hard drive from our web server. All portions of NicheArticle.net that prompt users to login or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. We may use cookies to reduce the time required for you to submit your requests and for NicheArticle.net to respond to such requests. Cookies will not be used by us to retrieve any information about you, or from your computer, that you have not voluntarily given to us. You can usually configure your browser not to accept cookies, but some features on our site may not function properly if you do not accept cookies.

We also use third party advertisements on NicheArticle.net to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

HOW CAN I OPT-OUT OR UNSUBSCRIBE?

We provide users with the opportunity to opt-out from receiving updates on our services, offers or newsletters. The opt-out option may be exercised in the user's profile or from within the email. You may also delete your account. Account deletion will erase all past entries in your account. If you erase your account, you will have to re-register with us if you wish to access certain areas within the website.

If you have not registered on NicheArticle.net, you can opt-out by sending an email, with the subject heading "Opt-Out," to webmaster@NicheArticle.net . In the email, you should briefly request to be removed from our mailing list.
