Neuman + Associates
Statement of Privacy
The Internet is an amazing tool. It has the power to change the way we live, and we're starting to see that potential today. With only a few mouse-clicks, you can follow the news, look up facts, buy goods and services, and communicate with others from around the world. It's important to Neuman & Associates to help our customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer. To protect your privacy, Neuman + Associates follows five principles in accordance with worldwide practices for customer privacy and data protection.
Principle 1 -- NOTICE
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (Personal Information) or allows us to contact you. Generally this information is requested when you are asked to register before downloading free software, entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters or joining a limited-access premium site. We use your Personal Information for four primary purposes:
- To make the site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
- To help you quickly find software, services or information on Neuman + Associates.
- To help us create content most relevant to you.
- To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from Neuman + Associates.
Principle 2 - CONSENT
If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of Neuman + Associates. But you will not be able to access areas that require registration. If you decide to register, you will be able to select the information you want to receive from Neuman + Associates by subscribing to various services, like our electronic newsletters. If you do not want Neuman + Associates to communicate with you about other offers regarding Neuman & Associates products, programs, events, or services by e-mail, postal mail, or telephone, you may visit the Neuman + Associates Profile Center, and establish your preferences in the Free Newsletters and Contact Options section. Neuman + Associates occasionally allows other companies to offer our registered customers information about their products and services, using postal mail only. If you do not want to receive these offers, you should uncheck the Contact Options section stating, "Neuman & Associates partners can send me postal mail about their services or products."
Principle 3 - ACCESS
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time at the Profile Center. The Profile Center is akin to a visitor center. There, you can: View and edit personal information you have already given us. Tell us whether you want Neuman + Associates to send you marketing information, or whether you want third parties to send you their offers by postal mail. Sign up for electronic newsletters about our services and products. Register. Once you register, you won't need to do it again. Wherever you go on Neuman + Associates, your information stays with you.
Principle 4 - SECURITY
Neuman & Associates strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Principle 5 - ENFORCEMENT
If for some reason you believe Neuman + Associates has not adhered to these principles, please notify us by e-mail at info@neumancpa.com, and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly. Be certain the words Privacy Policy are in the Subject line.
NOTICE TO PARENTS
Parents or guardians: we want to help you guard your children's privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use of their Personal Information while using the Internet. You can find a wealth of information at the Microsoft.com Internet Safety site.
ELECTRONIC PRODUCT REGISTRATION
When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. When you do, we merge your registration information with any information you've already left with us (we call that information your personal profile). If you haven't previously registered with us, we create a personal profile for you from your product registration information. If you ever want to review or update that information, you can Contact Us with your new information and we will edit any of the Personal Information in your profile. If you haven't already registered by giving us your e-mail address and a password, we will ask you to do so. This ensures that only you can access your information.
CUSTOMER PROFILES
As mentioned above, every registered customer has a unique personal profile. Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification number, which helps us ensure that only you can access your profile. When you register, we create your profile, assign a personal identification number, then send this personal identification number back to your hard drive in the form of a cookie, which is a very small bit of code. This code is uniquely yours. It enables seamless travel across Neuman + Associates, allowing you to download free software, order free newsletters, and visit premium sites without having to fill out registration forms with information you've already provided. Even if you switch computers, you won't have to re-register - just use your e-mail address and password to identify yourself.
