Privacy Policy

1. INFORMATION COLLECTION & USE

Registration

The BIZPROWEB Service requires a login in order to provide you with a personalized account. During our account registration process, we will collect an email address, your first and last name, and a password from you. You must provide all of this information in order to obtain an account. After completing our registration form, you will receive a welcome email describing your new BIZPROWEB account, and how to access that account. You may, at your option, also store your social media credentials as part of your account with our Service.

Communications with BIZPROWEB

We use third party service providers to assist us in managing and administering communications and emails sent to us through the Website and through some BIZPROWEB managed sites. Any personal information disclosed through such communications will be governed by such third-party vendors’ privacy policy.

Account Subscriptions

If you choose to continue service with BIZPROWEB via a paid account, BIZPROWEB will collect the following personally identifiable information from you: credit card number, credit card expiration date, and zip code, and keep this information on file in our secure server in order to process your recurring invoices. You may, at your option, also provide your company name, full billing address and phone number. This information is used to verify credit card authenticity, and process payments as per your applicable service agreement. Upon discontinuation of BIZPROWEB service, your credit card information will be destroyed on our billing system. If we are unable to process your subscription for a given month, this information, along with your account information, may be used to contact you.

Third Party Payment Processors

BIZPROWEB uses third party payment processors to assist it in processing your personally identifiable payment information securely. Such third-party processors’ use of your personal information is governed by their respective privacy policies which may or may not contain privacy protections as protective as this privacy policy. Payments are currently processed and managed using the third-party vendors below. We will inform you which payment processors are used when processing your payments.

Tell-A-Friend Tools

BIZPROWEB provides a number of tools that will allow you to promote your website (or articles on your website) over email. Email addresses entered into these forms are not stored in our database but may be stored in our system logs in text format to assist us in tracking down abusive users (users flooding the system), or using these tools for spamming. We will never contact addresses logged in this manner. The email sent through any of these mechanisms is a one-time email only.

Hosted websites

Users hosting websites with BIZPROWEB are given tools that may ask you to optionally enter your email address when making comments on their website or contacting them through their website. Since users on BIZPROWEB can manipulate the HTML code on their site directly, there are opportunities available for a malicious user to inject code that would log your information before it reaches our system. In addition, once in our system, website owners will have the opportunity to review and modify any information entered into their website. Since we do not have full control over how members run their individual sites, this privacy policy does not apply to any hosted BIZPROWEB website that you do not own. You should check that you trust the owner of a particular website before submitting personally identifiable information on that site.
BIZPROWEB uses the services of Peer1 Hosting for the Website and for BIZPROWEB managed websites. Personal information hosted by or through BIZPROWEB is subject to Peer1 Hosting’s privacy policy which may or may not contain terms as protective as this privacy policy. A copy of Peer1 Hosting’s privacy policy is available here.

Server Logs

When accessing web pages on the Website, BIZPROWEB may log your IP address, access URL, time of access, geographic location, browser type, and referral URL in order to provide us with internal information regarding site traffic statistics. This information may also be used to identify users who are using the service for spam or other activity that is deemed in conflict with our Terms of Service. Otherwise, this information is used in the aggregate, and is never linked back to any personally identifiable information.

Comments and User Content Posted to the Website

If you post any Comments or User Content on the Website, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you choose to provide there may be read, collected, or used by other users of the Website, as well as other third parties. We are not responsible for the information you choose to submit in these forums. We cannot guarantee that other users have not made copies of and/or will not use such information outside of the Website. We are not responsible for information you choose to post in this forum.

Social Media

The Website provides users the opportunity to interact and post content through various social media sites including, but not limited to, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Dropbox, Tumblr, foursquare, Flickr, YouTube and Vimeo. Your interactions with such tools, and any information you provide in connection with these interactions are publicly viewable outside of the Website domain. Each social media site has its own privacy policies which may be more or less protective than this Policy. If you do not wish for this information to be disclosed, then you should not use these tools. We are not responsible for information you choose to post in this forum.

Our site also includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook button and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini programs that run on our site. These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

2. USES OF INFORMATION

BIZPROWEB collects the aforementioned personally identifiable information in order to provide you with a service that allows you to maintain an online presence. Various features in our website management system will, at your discretion, display your name, or adjust the date and time of events based on your locale. The BIZPROWEB Website Manager interface will always give you an option before any piece of your personally identifiable information is presented on your website, and situations where information will be published is made clear in various spots in the interface (for example, your name is tied to welcome emails you send out from our system, and notice of this is given to you within the interface for that tool).

BIZPROWEB also uses information collected through its Service to send out notifications regarding service-related issues (such as maintenance periods, billing problems, account expirations, and other items that may impact service). We do not send contact information unless the matter is deemed urgent, and most communication will occur through your BIZPROWEB Website Manager interface. We also may use and disclose your information to our third-party service providers in order to send you messages regarding new services or other products from BIZPROWEB.

Information collected through our service logs is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding Website traffic. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular user of the system.

SLI Studios Web Development, LLC., D/B/A/ BIZPROWEB is the sole owner of information collected on https://bizproweb.net. Your information is never shared, leased or given to any third parties in ways other than disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

3. INFORMATION SECURITY

We store all user information in secure databases protected via a variety of industry-standard access controls. Secure passwords, SSL encryption, disk-based encryption, firewalls, and other measures are in place that helps us to protect your data. However, no company, including BIZPROWEB, can fully eliminate security risks associated with the transmission of personal information through online transactions, and you do so at your own risk.
