Visitors who register to transact business on the Site and make use of the various services offered by Business Writing Resources

Information
Collected by our ISP
The
hosting provider for Business Writing Resources (as with any Internet site) has the ability to record various information,
including domain name, pages accessed, date and time of access, web browser type and computer operating system, and referring
information, and to disclose this information. This is most commonly done by providing access to raw server logs. For more
information you should perform an Internet search on 'server logs' or 'raw server logs.' We may have access to our raw server

Financial Information for Billing Purposes
We
sell digital downloadable products. When sales are made, financial information must be disclosed. This information can include
any number of facts you are asked to provide, but most commonly includes your name, financial / credit card information, billing
address, and email address. Generally, this purchase information will be provided by you to a third party payment processor
such as PayPal and we do not receive your financial / credit card information.
In the event we
do receive financial / credit card information, we will not disclose it to anyone unless disclosure is required by law or
a court order, or unless disclosure is required to address an issue implicated by the financial transaction. If you claim
that your financial information was used to make a purchase you did not authorize, details about the financial transaction
may be disclosed to law enforcement and anyone else we deem necessary to address the matter.
