DO WE DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION TO OUTSIDE PARTIES?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place a payment order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.

Credit Card Information.

Sense Writing and its associated websites may in certain cases collect credit card numbers and related information, such as the expiration date of the card (“Credit Card Information”) when an individual places an order from Sense Writing. When the Credit Card Information is submitted to Sense Writing, such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. Sense Writing will use the Credit Card Information for purposes of processing and completing the purchase transaction, and the Credit Card Information will be disclosed to third parties only as necessary to complete the purchase transaction. We may choose to complete transactions through a payment processor, and if we do so, the information required to complete billing may be retained by that payment processor.

If you wish to have us delete data relating to you from our database, please email us at Madelyn@sensewriitng.org. We will make a good faith effort to make these deletions. Note that we are only able to delete information that we can find based on the information you provide us. If, for example, you have two email addresses but only provide us with one of them in a deletion request, we may not delete the information associated with the second address. In addition, we may obtain information about you subsequent to a deletion request. If we do subsequently obtain information, you may submit a subsequent deletion request.
