THEWIZARD.COM collects personal information in connection with the registration for and use of such services.

Personal Information Collected via Technology

To make The Site more useful to you, we may use technological means to collect personally identifiable information from you, including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) you just came from, the URL you go to next, your browser type, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. We also may use cookies or clear GIFs to collect personally identifiable information from you about your use of The Site or emails we send you. You expressly consent to our use of cookies and clear GIFs when you use The Site and services.

An “IP Address” is a number that is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your company or your university. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, to gather broad demographic information, to administer The Site, and/or to analyze The Site’s flow.

“Cookies” are small amounts of data (often including a unique identifier), that are sent to your browser from a website's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. The Site may use both session cookies, which expire once you close your web browser, and persistent cookies, which stay on your computer until you delete them, to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on The Site. You often have the ability to accept or to decline cookies, typically through an option on your web browser. If you disable your cookies, however, you will not have access to certain features of The Site or portions of The Site may not function efficiently.

“Clear GIFs” are clear electronic images that are used to track your movements on The Site. They help us determine whether content on The Site is effective. We also use clear GIFs in certain types of emails (such as HTML-based emails) to let us know which emails have been opened and acted upon by recipients (including any persons to which the emails have been forwarded). Clear GIFs on our site collect a limited set of information including cookie number, time and date of a page view and a description of the page on which the clear GIF resides. This information helps us assess the effectiveness of certain communications and marketing campaigns.

We (or third party service providers on our behalf) may also use cookies and Clear GIFs to collect aggregate information about web site users on an anonymous basis. We may share aggregate demographic and usage information with our prospective and actual business partners, advertisers and other third parties for any business purpose.

At some places on The Site, we may ask your permission to disclose personally identifiable information about you to companies whose practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy (e.g., other marketers, magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases and non-profit organizations) that want to market products or services to you. If at some point you grant us permission to transfer your information for these purposes and later decide that you want to opt out of such things and no longer want us to do so, simply send us an email at info@thewizard.com and we will edit your preferences accordingly within our system.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify the Terms & Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy or other disclaimers or legal terms at any time without giving you prior notice. Your use of The Site following any such modification constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by such things as modified. For this reason, we encourage you to review the Terms & Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy and other terms whenever you use The Site.

Your California Privacy Rights

Under a provision of California law, a California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes ("California customer") may be entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

To the extent an California resident using The Site for personal, family, or household purposes seeks information covered the law, The Site qualifies for the alternative option. As stated in our Privacy Policy, users of The Site may opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information during the preceding year for marketing purposes. To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt-in to such use when you provide personal information on The Site. Please note that whenever you opt-in to receive future communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use information. You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.

California residents who utilize The Site for personal, family, or household purposes may request further information about our compliance with this law by emailing info@thewizard.com. You should put the statement “Your California Privacy Rights” in the subject field of your email. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this email address.

What Else Should I Know About My Privacy When Online?

The Site may contain hyperlinks to other websites. The Site also may contain advertisements of third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party websites or advertisers, or even those third parties to whom we may disclose personally identifiable information (as provided above). We does not share any of the individual personal information you provide us with the websites to which we links, except as stated elsewhere within this Privacy Policy, although we may share aggregate data with such websites (such as how many people use The Site). Please check with those third party sites to determine their privacy policy. When and if we embed third party content into a page of The Site, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that it is evident or to advise our users that they have exited The Site and are entering a third-party controlled website. You should read and understand any privacy policy noted on all third party websites that you visit.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online -for example through email, discussion lists, or elsewhere -that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for determining whether you intend for your personal information to be confidential and for maintaining its confidentiality. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
