PRIVACY AND SECURITY

This WriteSight.com® Privacy Statement discloses the information privacy practices for WriteSight.com's® United States Web sites, and www.WriteSight.com, ("WriteSight.com").

Sharing your information

Any information pertaining to you will be kept in strict confidence and out of the reach of any third parties.

It's a fact that other web sites generate revenue from selling their membership lists; however, WriteSight.com will stay away from this practice. As members of the internet community, the staff at WriteSight.com doesn't like receiving unsolicited advertisements, and the same courtesy is extended to you.

Information collected about you
WriteSight.com collects Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") about you that you specifically and voluntarily provide. PII includes information that can identify you as a specific individual, such as your name, phone number, or e-mail address.

Contact information for internal use only. Your Personally Identifiable Information is NEVER sold, shared or exchanged with anyone.

WriteSight.com does not sell or rent your PII to anyone.

On all WriteSight.com pages that collect PII, we specifically describe what information is required in order to provide you with the product or service you have requested.
