Privacy of Our Email Lists
Individuals must affirmatively ask to join our mailing lists using the forms provided on this web site or other means expressly sanctioned by Francis & Company. We do not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on our list to anyone. In addition, we configure our list server software to refuse to divulge the email addresses of our list subscribers to anyone but authorized Francis & Company staff, including other list subscribers.
Unsubscribe Policy
We strive to only send e-mail to those who want to receive it. If you would not like to receive future e-mails from us, reply to any email with UNSUBSCRIBE as the subject.
Personal Information
Any information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you. It includes, without limitation, your full name, your email address, your home address, or your telephone number. This information is ordinarily used to individualize your experience on our website, communicate separately with you, facilitate your movements throughout our website, and to be able to selectively send you communications that may be of interest to you, either electronically or otherwise.
Generally, you can visit our website without revealing any Personal Information about yourself. The personal information collected from clients during the registration process is used to manage each client’s account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances.
Aggregate Information
We collect certain Aggregate Information, such as tracking the Internet address of the domains from which you visit our site and analyzing this data for trends and statistics, tracking your IP address (the number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you are using the Web), and tracking your browser type.
We use this Aggregate Information to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer our site, and to gather broad demographic information. None of this information is connected with your personal information. Think Profits may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information members provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of clients).
Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Francis & Company and/or its affiliates may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our website. When clients request pages from our website, our servers log the requesting clients’ IP addresses. We normally will not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that clients’ sessions will be logged, but client identity remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a client when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service, website, or any person, or where it is otherwise permitted by law.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When visitors or clients send email inquiries to Francis & Company, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Francis & Company does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.
“Cookies” and How Francis & Company Uses Them
A “cookie” is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain websites.
Francis & Company may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes to improve the products and services we provide and to manage our telecommunications networks.
These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your client information.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the site will not function if you do so. Advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies. We do not control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected through them.
Links to Other Sites
Francis & Company is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of websites to which it may link and our privacy policy does not apply to websites to which we may link.
These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. These other sites are not subject to the Francis & Company privacy policy and Francis & Company is not responsible for the privacy policies for these other sites, nor for the use of any information that these sites may collect. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out Information online (for example, via message boards or chat lines), that Information can be collected and used by people you don’t know.
While Francis & Company and its affiliates strive to protect their clients information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, you disclose such Information at your own risk.
Data Security
Francis & Company is committed to taking reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information from theft, misuse and alteration. Although Francis & Company's security efforts are consistent with industry practices, complete privacy, confidentiality, and security are not yet possible over the Internet.
The client agrees that since the Internet is not a fully secure medium for the communication of information, and since privacy and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, use of Francis & Company services may cause the client’s information to be accessed by, or disclosed to, other persons.
Therefore, the client agrees that Francis & Company shall not be responsible or liable for any damage that the client, or any other person, may suffer in connection with the communication of private, confidential, or sensitive information using Francis & Company services. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining the client’s information.
