In the course of conducting business with you, Business of Creativity will collect information from you, such as your name, title, company or organization, address, telephone number, fax number, email address and photograph. If you participate in our surveys or contests, your survey opinion and submissions for our contests will be collected.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Business of Creativity's blog post comments or our discussion forums, this information may be collected and used by others.
We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you elect to use certain products or services available on the Site. These may include: (a) registering for an account on our Site; (b) entering a sweepstakes or contest sponsored by us or one of our partners; (c) signing up for special offers from selected third parties; (d) sending us an email message; (e) submitting your credit card or other payment information when ordering and purchasing products and services on our Site.

On our website, we may collect your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and cookies. Your “IP address” is a unique 32-bit numeric address that distinguishes your computer from another computer. “Cookies” are small text files that contain information about you, such as your user name and password, which are stored on the web browser of your computer. Business of Creativity uses a high encryption algorithm on its cookies so that only our server can read and decrypt the contents within it and other parties will not be able to access such information.
What privacy principles are followed by Business of Creativity?
1. Accountability
Business of Creativity is responsible for ensuring the protection of the information you have provided to us.
2. Why do we collect your information?
We collect information from you for the following reasons:
- To provide information on our products and services that may be of interest to you
- To contact you, when necessary, regarding issues concerning your use of our products and services
- To obtain information about your use of our products and services, potentially through a survey
- To better understand your needs, as input to future product and service development plans
- To obtain information about your qualifications and skills if you submit your resume to us for the purposes of applying for a position with Business of Creativity and the information may be legally required.
3. Obtaining your consent
We will obtain your consent prior to the collection, use or disclosure of your information. Consent may be expressed or implied. Implied consent means that you provide the information to us and the purpose of providing such information would be clear to you, even if we did not state it. Our privacy policy, however, does not limit Business of Creativity from collecting and using information that is publicly available. This means, for instance, your name and business email address could be added to our email and / or postal communication list so that we can provide further information to you on our products and services.
We will, however, respect your choice not to be contacted. All our marketing email messages contain an option to automatically “opt-out” of receiving messages from us. You may also elect not to receive communication from us by sending an email to [email protected] with your name, email address and (if applicable) your postal address to request that we remove your email, address and name from our mailing lists.

7. Use of Cookies
The Business of Creativity website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Business of Creativity pages, or register with Ignite Leadership site or services, a cookie helps Business of Creativity to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Business of Creativity website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Business of Creativity features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Business of Creativity services or websites you visit.
