Privacy Policy for drlucyspelman.com
Summary:

You may visit this site anonymously as often as you like without providing any personally identifying information (such as your name, address, or e-mail address).  We do not collect personally identifying information from you except when you specifically provide it, and we protect the information we receive.  If you ask to be added to our newsletter, we will use a cookie to keep track of your requests so that you can easily check and revise your subscription.  We also use cookies to identify your browser so that we can provide the best link to our site.  We never share your e-mail address with third parties See Terms of Use.  Please read below for a further explanation of what information we gather and how we use it.

The Information You Provide

As you explore our website, you will come across places in which we ask you to provide us voluntarily with information about yourself.  In most of these instances, we are seeking only your e-mail address so that we can send you the specific information that you request, such as a newsletter.  If you decide to participate, we will not use your name or e-mail address for any purpose other than as stated, and will not sell or rent your name or address to third parties.  At other places in this site, we may ask for your feedback, opinion, or suggestions, and provide you with a link for e-mailing us your response.

One additional area in which we ask for your name is on bulletin boards or forums--places on the site where you can participate in a discussion of a particular subject by posting written comments, which are then entirely public.  We ask for a name simply so that other people reading a string of comments will be able to determine which comments come from the same person.  You may, therefore, provide a nickname or alias, if you prefer, so that your identity is not disclosed.  You should be aware that if you do voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g. user name, e-mail address) on the bulletin boards or forums, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or parties.  If you choose to participate anonymously, you should remember that you are still legally liable for the material you post, including claims of libel, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.  We filter all posts and will remove any material we consider offensive or inappropriate.

Removing Your E-mail Address

If you have previously provided us with your e-mail address and later decide that you do not want us to have it, please follow the instructions to unsubscribe contained at the end of your e-mail message from us.  We will try to accommodate your request, but cannot promise that it will happen immediately.

Cookies

Cookies are electronic tags that most major websites place on your computer in the process of sending your computer a file, such as a Web page.  We use them in a limited fashion as well.  In essence, a cookie is a unique bit of computer code that is placed on your computer the first time you visit our site.  It tells us simply when a computer that has previously visited our site returns, and it identifies your computer's browser and operating system to help us make the best connection.  Lucy H. Spelman, LLC.  In no event does the cookie we place on your computer tell us anything about your visits to other websites or your use of the Internet in any other way.

If you would prefer not to receive any cookies, most browsers can be set to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being sent.  It is possible, however, that some portions of this site may not function properly if the cookies are disabled.

Links to Other Sites

Our site contains links to other sites that are not under our control.  Such other sites do not necessarily follow our privacy policies, and may place their own cookies on your computer.  This practice is standard on the Web, and we do not control cookies placed on your computer by third parties whose advertising or links appear on our site.

Security of Private Information

We would like to be able to tell you that the information you provide us is absolutely safe.  Unfortunately, several well-publicized instances of computer security breaches make it impossible for anyone to be so confident.  The most we can tell you is that we take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide us from theft, alteration, or unauthorized inspection.  In addition, in rare instances, we will disclose private information to necessary parties to protect our site or other visitors, or to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use.
