PRIVACY POLICY OF SMALL BUSINESS STRATEGY, INC. (DOING BUSINESS AS K SQUARED ENTERPRISES)
Last updated: March 31, 2008
At K Squared we are committed to protecting your online privacy and the security of the information that you might provide to us.  Please read this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) carefully.  If you do not agree with the Privacy Policy please do not use the Website or any portion of it, as your use of the Website constitutes acceptance of the terms of the Privacy Policy.  This Privacy Policy explains our practices related to:

  1. What information we collect;
  2. How we may use and share the information you provide to K Squared;
  3. How to unsubscribe;
  4. Information posted to public areas of the Website;
  5. How we protect your information;
  6. Links to other sites;

1. What information we collect
It is not necessary to provide any personal information to view the Website.
However for all Website visitors we may log IP addresses (or the location of your computer network on the Internet) for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We also may use IP addresses to track which pages people visit in order to improve the quality of the Website. However, we do not use this data to develop profiles of individual Website visitors.

The Website may use cookies to enhance functionality of the site and to aggregate and analyze traffic data such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc. You do not have to accept cookies as all major browsers allow you to block cookies from your computer, and you can always delete them later.  The Website may also use “Web beacons” to track your behavior on the site. Web beacons are small pieces of data that may be embedded in images on the Website. Blocking cookies will prevent Web beacons from tracking your activity and unique information such as your IP address, but the Web beacon will still account for an anonymous visit.

Advertisements may be managed and placed on the Website by third parties (“Network Advertisers”).  Network Advertisers who place advertisements on the Website may also use cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to the Website and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.  Finally, please keep in mind that if you click on an advertisement on the Website and link to a third party’s website, then our Privacy Policy will not apply to your personally identifiable information collected on that third party’s website and you must read the privacy policy posted on that site to see how your personally identifiable information will be gathered and used.

2. How we may use and share the information you provide to K Squared
We will use the information you provide about yourself as explained in this Privacy Policy.
We may offer you the ability to sign up to receive communications and various items of interest from us.  To sign up to receive communications from us you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information about yourself such as your name, e-mail address, and postal address with your state and zip code.  By joining any website list, you agree that we can send you (via e-mail or postal mail, if provided) items and information whenever we wish. Additionally, we may send you e-mails, postal mailings and other items or information on behalf of third parties which we think are worthwhile (without sharing your personal information with these third parties).

In addition, K Squared or our third party vendors may also use your personal information for purposes other than sending you the materials described above. For example, we or our third party vendor may use your information to complete transactions requested by you (such as your purchase of a product or service offered on the Website), or to send you administrative communications either about your account with us or about Website features.
In the e-mails that we send you, we may use cookies, Web beacons or other technical means to determine, among other things, whether you have opened or forwarded those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails, to customize the display of banner advertisements and other messages, and to determine whether you have made an inquiry or purchase in response to a particular e-mail.

We treat the personally identifiable information that you provide us with care and value your privacy. We will not rent, sell, lease or barter the information you provide with any third party. We may, however, use other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, like fulfilling orders, shipping packages, sending e-mails, processing credit card payments, analyzing data and providing customer service. These contractors or other third parties may have access to your personal information if necessary to perform services for us, however they may only use such personal information for performing that function and not for any other purpose.
Additionally, K Squared may sell or transfer your personal information to successor organizations.  Finally, we may release personal information when we believe, in good faith, such release is required by law, will help enforce our Terms (including this Privacy Policy), or protect the rights or safety of our users or others.

3. How to unsubscribe
We provide you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us easily and promptly. You can remove yourself from any list that you have signed up for at the Website at any time by sending an e-mail with “remove” in the subject line to [provide email address].  Additionally, every e-mail we send will include a link that allows you to unsubscribe from that particular list and any other lists you may have joined at the Website.

4. Information posted to public areas of the Website
Please keep in mind that whenever you decide to ask a question in the public forums on the Website, or post any content on the public areas of the Website, you are voluntarily and publicly disclosing any personal information contained in your question, post or content. Any such information can be collected and used by other visitors to the Website and you may receive unsolicited communications as a result. We cannot control which visitors will access such information or what they may do with such information, so please be careful about what you post. 

5. How we protect your information
K Squared has technical, physical and administrative security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the information you provide to us (other than in public areas of the Website). From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods to protect the information you provide to us. However, despite our reasonable efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot and do not guarantee that the content you post on the Website or the information you provide to us will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

Also, remember that steps you take to help protect the privacy of your personal information (such as logging off the Website after viewing or submitting personal information) are equally important. If you have broadband access to the Internet, it is strongly advised that you use a firewall when accessing the Internet.

6. Linking to other sites
The Website may link to other websites. This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by us at the Website.  K Squared is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies or practices of any other website available through links on the Website. Before providing personal information to any linked website, please check that website’s privacy policy and practices, which are completely separate from and unrelated to this Privacy Policy and the privacy practices of K Squared.

7. Correcting your information
If you need to correct any personal information you have provided to us please send us an e-mail to info@wwyikm.com.  If you need to change your e-mail address, you can unsubscribe from our mailing list and sign up again using your new information.

8. Contacting us about privacy questions
If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, the information we have collected from you online, or the privacy practices of, or your interactions with, the Website, please send an e-mail to info@wwyikm.com.

9. Changes to our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to update or revise this Privacy Policy.  Please periodically check this Privacy Policy for updates and revisions, because your continued use of this site following the posting of any updates or revisions to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
