This Policy is effective as of February 14, 2007
Commitment to Privacy
Wisdomology has a strong commitment to its users' online privacy. This Privacy Policy is to help you to understand the ways in which Wisdomology collects and uses the information that you transmit when you visit the Wisdomology.com website (the "Site"). The information gathered by Wisdomology falls into two categories: (1) information supplied by Members to the Site, and (2) tracking information gathered as members and visitors (collectively "Users") navigate through the Site.
By using or accessing Wisdomology.com, you accept the practices set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Collected Information and Use
In order to use many of the Wisdomology.com services, you must either register or subscribe and become a Member. When you register or subscribe, you provide us with certain personally identifiable information such as your name, e-mail address, birth date, and gender. We use this information to authenticate members, to send notifications to you relating to the Wisdomology.com services and to improve the quality of the Wisdomology services. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. Of course, Members are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their user registration and password at all times.
When you register with Wisdomology, you create a User Profile. Your Profile includes your picture and a name you will be known as online, your "username". These are what other Users see when they are navigating through the Site in order to facilitate Member interaction. You may edit your User Profile information at any time.
We use Members' e-mail addresses to send service related information and to send you the Wisdomology Newsletter. In order to receive our Newsletter, you must check the Opt-in box on your Account Info page and may opt-out by changing your setting at any time. Members communicate with each other on Wisdomology through the Wisdomology service, without disclosing their e-mail addresses. Members' full names and email addresses are never directly revealed to other Members unless the Member chooses to voluntarily provide it.
When you use our Site, our server automatically logs non personal information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website, such as your browser type and IP address, pages viewed, amount of time spent on certain activities and aggregate user data. This information is logged to help diagnose technical problems, and to administer our Site in order to constantly improve the quality of the Wisdomology services.
Voluntary Participation
Any registration or subscription information you provide on the Site to Wisdomology is entirely voluntary; Visitors to the Site who do not wish to supply the information necessary to use the features requiring registration or subscription remain free to take advantage of the other content available on the Site.
Send to a Friend
Wisdomology Members can invite friends to join the service by sending them an e-mail through our server. We do not store these email addresses or use them for any purpose other than the invitation.
Should Wisdomology offer a "refer a friend" feature, we will temporarily store the referral emails solely in order to properly link the referrer with the referee.
Cookies Information:
When you visit the Site, Wisdomology places a small entry in a text file, called a cookie, on your hard drive that identifies your browser, records session information and stores your preferences. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.
Wisdomology also uses persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser to make it easier to log in on subsequent visits to the Site. Information stored in cookies is not linked to any personally identifiable information you submit.
Check the "Help" menu directions of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. You may be able to set your web browser to refuse some or all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, many features of the Site may not function properly if you disable cookies.
Disclosure of Information to Third Parties:
Wisdomology does not disclose any personal information to third parties other than for billing purposes. All financial and billing information that we collect through the Site is used solely to check the qualifications of prospective customers and to bill for the Service. This billing information is not used by Wisdomology for marketing or promotional purposes. Wisdomology uses a third-party intermediary to manage the credit card processing. This intermediary is not permitted to store, retain, or use the information provided, except for the sole purpose of credit card processing. Other third parties may provide content on the Site but they are not permitted to collect any information nor does Wisdomology.com share user information with these parties.
Neither Wisdomology nor any third party will review, share, distribute, print, or reference any Member Content except as provided in the Wisdomology Terms of Use, or as may be required by law. Individual member records may at times be viewed or accessed only for the purpose of resolving a problem, support issue, or as may be required by law.
Security
Wisdomology utilizes some of the most advanced technology for Internet security available today. When you access our Site using Netscape Navigator 6.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.5 or higher, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology protects your information using both server authentication and data encryption, ensuring that your data is safe, secure, and available only to registered members. In addition, Wisdomology is hosted in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders.
Wisdomology provides each member with a unique user name and password that must be entered each time the member logs on. However, please note that we cannot guarantee the security of Member account information. Security may be compromised by failure of hardware or software systems, unauthorized entry or other reasons.

We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the Wisdomology Site, or a physical threat to you or others.
Transfer of Business Assets
Wisdomology may provide your personal identification information to our successor in the event of a merger with, acquisition of, or acquisition by or to a third party company that purchases Wisdomology' assets in the event of our liquidation or cessation of business operations. Wisdomology will provide you with reasonable notice and the opportunity to opt-out prior to the disclosure.
