Privacy Policy

AltEnergyshift.com ("AltEnergyshift") will not share your information with 3rd parties for any reason. Ever. AltEnergyshift respects your right to the privacy of the personal information you provide us on our Web site. To that end, unless you designate otherwise or we state otherwise in this policy or at the time information is collected, any personal information you provide to AltEnergyshift will be known only to two parties: you and AltEnergyshift. The following policy is intended to explain how your personal information will be treated as you make use of our site and their features. Personal information includes your name, street and e-mail addresses, billing information, click-through activity and any other personal information you may provide here. This policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.

In order to register to the site, registrants provide AltEnergyshift with personal information which can include name, location, e-mail address, gender and at times your social networking username(s). AltEnergyshift keeps all such information strictly confidential and does not reuse, resell or redistribute it in any way. To become a member of AltEnergyshift you agree to receive at least one issue of a weekly AltEnergyshift newsletter. You can easily unsubscribe from future newsletters by clicking on the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of every newsletter.


Traffic data

Each time a visitor comes to the AltEnergyshift Web site, our servers -- like most on the Web -- collect some basic technical information, including, for example, the visitor's domain name, referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to a AltEnergyshift Web site) and browser and platform type (e.g., a Chrome browser on a Macintosh platform). We also count, track and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our site (e.g. tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within the AltEnergyshift site, etc.). To these ends, we may merge information about visitors and visits into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers; but we will not disclose your individual identity or personally identifiable data without your permission. When we do present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify you or contact you.


Use of AltEnergyshift cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies in a limited way to help deliver advertisements, to identify unique browsers that visit us and to track usage throughout our site. The information about readership and site usage that AltEnergyshift collects through cookies is aggregated into general reports about readership and not tied to individual identities. Other companies which place advertising on our site also have the ability to assign their cookies to you in a process that AltEnergyshift does not control. However, cookies cannot be used to identify individuals, only machines, so these advertisers will not know who you are.


Our commitment to children's privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is important to us. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information at our Web site from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Web site is structured to attract anyone under 13.


Other disclosure of personal information

AltEnergyshift will not otherwise use or disclose your personal information (personally identifiable data such as your name, email address, password) without your consent except (i) as described in this privacy policy, or (ii) as required by law to be disclosed. This policy does not protect information you post to any on-line forum, chat room, newsgroup or other public areas within our Web site.


Unsubscribe and data removal policies

If you would like to remove your name and e-mail address from our registration database, you can send an e-mail requesting removal to info@altenergyshift.com.

AltEnergyshift contains many links to other sites on the Web. We cannot control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other Web sites.


Who can I ask if I have any additional questions?
