INFORMATION D. ALLISON LEE LLC GATHERS AND TRACKS

D. ALLISON LEE LLC gathers two types of information about users:

  • Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys.
  • Information D. ALLISON LEE LLC gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs.  Under no circumstances does D. ALLISON LEE LLC divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.  This is in full accordance with the NAPO Code of Ethics .

D. ALLISON LEE LLC gathers user information in the following processes:

Optional Voluntary Information

We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:

1. Electronic Newsletters

We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. D. ALLISON LEE LLC gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page.

2. "E-mail This to a Friend"

Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking the e-mail icon located at the top right hand side of every page (excluding the home page). The user must provide their name and email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.

3. Polling

We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about various issues related to organizing themselves, homes, and/or offices. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. D. ALLISON LEE LLC may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

 4. Surveys

D. ALLISON LEE LLC may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

5.  Monthly Promotions

D. ALLISON LEE LLC offers site users the opportunity to win prizes on a monthly basis.  To be eligible to win, users of our site must register by supplying their name, user name, e-mail address, and a password of their choice.   This allows us to contact winners via e-mail. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

 

USAGE TRACKING

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
