Privacy Statement
Information
Collection and Use
CompileSpot.com
is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this statement.
CompileSpot.com
collects information from our users at several different points on our
website.
Paid
Subscription
We request information from the user on our subscription form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and address) and financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes.
If we have trouble processing a payment, this contact information is
used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
Cookies are small bits of data used on CompileSpot.com to enhance the
site's functionality and make your experience easier and more personalized.
Cookies are used specifically to store your username and password while logged
onto the compiler interface. Your browser must accept cookies if you want to
use the interface.

Log
Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person.
We
may use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are
not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read
the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Surveys
& Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a
choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will
be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of
this site.
Security
This website
takes every precaution to protect our users’ information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line.
When our
registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number) that information is encrypted and is protected with the
best encryption software in the industry - SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
‘surfing’.
While we use
SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything
in our power to protect user-information off-line.
All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added,
our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is
protected.
If you have any
questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to security@CompileSpot.com.
Special
Offers
Customers
will occasionally receive information on products, services, and special
deals. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to
not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out
below.
Correction/Updating
Personal Information:
If
a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide
a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member information page
or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive promotional materials from us or our
partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to
unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at support@CompileSpot.com
Notification
of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on
our website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in
a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will
notify users by way of an email. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner.
