Information Collection
Information collected online is usually defined as being either personally identifiable or aggregate
in nature (anonymous).
 |
Personal Information
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited
to, a first and last name, email address, a home or other physical address, phone number and/or other information
when needed to provide the service, products and/or information requested.
When you browse the Cr8ivewrite.com website, you do so anonymously unless you have provided personal
information on a previous visit. Like many other websites, the Cr8ivewrite.com website may use a standard technology
called a "cookie" to store collected information when you provide it. Please go to "Cookies and
Their Use" below for more. Currently, the only information collected and stored on our website is: 1) a
first and last name and an eMail address, and only when it is provided by you. This information is used to enhance
your visit to our website and is not accessible to any other website (we do not share or sell this information
either, see "Information Use" below), and 2) temporary product and ordering information necessary for
the shopping cart to work. This information is used so our website can "remember" what you are ordering
as you navigate from page to page. Once the order is complete, the information is thrown out (the shopping cart
cookie is deleted).

Aggregate Information
As stated above we don't automatically collect any personal information. We may collect general information about

IP address (the Internet address of your computer), browser type and language, access times and referring website
addresses (the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site). This information is
used to help improve, analyze trends, and administer our website. But we do not link any of this aggregate information
to any of your personal information. |
