Privacy Policy & Copyright:
If you followed this link, you care about privacy, and I’m glad because I do as well. Here’s how your information will be used when you visit this site and/or sign up for emails:
Your Email Privacy Overview
Neither WhichTestWon.com nor this site’s publisher, Anne Holland Ventures Inc., will rent, sell, barter or will otherwise give out your email address for the purposes of a ‘blast’ from a third party. Your email address will be kept in databases which we have evaluated for security, and only authorized employees of Anne Holland Ventures Inc, and our official vendors such as our email service provider aWeber, have access to.
The Testing Times Newsletter
This is a double opt-in list, which means you must click on a link we’ll email you after your name is entered into our form in order to activate your subscription. Otherwise, we won’t send you any newsletters. The purpose of the double opt-in is to stop anyone from signing up a friend or colleague (or stranger) for the list without their permission.
The Testing Times Newsletter will be sent to you on a regular basis, along with occasional alerts of interest concerning the WhichTestWon.com site. You will not get advertising blasts from any third party.
Email to a Friend
We do *not* collect or store any of the email addresses you type into our Email a Friend widget. Your friend will receive a text-note about the page you are emailing them, and that is all. If they want any other email from us, they’ll have to sign up for themselves.
Other Email Offers
You’ll find some other email offers on the site, such as our offer for a free Glossary PDF. In these cases, we’ll send you the offer you requested and may, on occasion, also send you an alert if something highly relevant to this offer is also available on the site. For example, we might let you know when a new edition of the Glossary is available or if we’re running a reader survey to improve the site. However, we won’t ping you frequently, nor will we bring you third party offers from other companies.
Webinar Signups
Currently we use GoToWebinar for webinar sign-ups, and your name and information is kept confidential both by their anti-spam policy here and anyone who is a presenter at the webinar. We and any presentation partner(s) will also have access to this information, however you’ll only be contacted within the context of the Webinar itself or if you ask explicitly for additional contact on the sign-up form. For example, we’ll email you with a reminder beforehand and a ‘thank you’ afterwards. We may also email you on occasion to let you know about other relevant events WhichTestWon.com is going to host and about our upcoming canned webinar library online. You won’t receive any other contacts unless you have pro-actively checked a box on the sign-up form asking to receive something else or be contacted about something in particular.
Contact Us Form
Queries via our Contact Us form are held in confidence. We will reply directly to your question or query, and will store your information in our own customer service database in order to keep track of it for the future. Only Anne Holland Ventures, Inc. employees have access to this database. It’s used for company contacts only, not for marketing outreach.
Site Activity Tracking & Cookies
We use analytics technology such as Google Website Optimizer and Google Analytics to measure and optimize our site’s performance. We may also serve cookies from our email service provider who host our DHTML opt-in offer. The purpose of these cookies is to avoid serving you with a DHTML offer more than once per session, because otherwise it would be annoying. Other cookies may be used in future for tracking activity on the site in the aggregate.
Twitter
If you use the Twitter options on our site to sign up for alerts and/or to send item hotlinks to your circle, Twitter will track your activity. Their Privacy Policy is here.
WiderFunnel Optimization Services
Although WiderFunnel is the official sponsor of this site, they will not have access to any individual’s information (including email) unless you fill out a form explicitly requesting that they contact you directly. Once you do that, you are covered by their privacy policy here.
Comment & User Generated Content Usage
If you use our forms to post comments, suggestions or to join the public conversation on this site, your email will not be publicly posted but only used by our service and/or editorial staff if we have a question. Your submission itself may be moderated by our editorial staff prior to posting. We will not change or edit the body of your posting, but we will delete it or refuse to publish it if it appears to be on a completely unrelated topic, blatantly and wholly self-promotional, a duplicate posting, or otherwise spammy in nature. You own the copyright and are wholly liable for the contents of your posting, however by posting the comment on our site you give us the rights to publish or republish it in any format we desire at any time we wish without contacting or compensating you in future.
Fair Use & Copyright
You have the right to use any factual information – such as statistics – publicly available on this site or its related publications, PDFs, webinars, etc. You may also quote up to two-sentences of text from any of these sources directly, including our articles and commentary, as long as you give proper citation showing the source to be WhichTestWon.com. However, you may not pick up and reproduce any graphics, including but not limited to our PowerPoint slides, test images, and our logo, without written permission from us. You can get this written permission by contacting RonP(at)AnneHollandVentures (dot)com with the details of what you’d like to reproduce and how it will be used.
Please note: We will defend our copyright! It’s tough to create quality content and we have a right to maintain our ownership of it.
Deeplinking
You may link to any publicly available piece of content on this site directly with the exception of any content that may be held beneath a registration-required barrier. We like SEO and encourage deep and frequent linking!
