Privacy Policy

This page pertains to the Privacy Policy of nicemanagers.com, a website owned by Chip Averwater, an author and publisher of business management books.

We collect information about your visits to our website, such as your Internet service provider, browser type, operating system, pages accessed on our sites and the date and time of access to optimize your user experience and enhance your time spent with us online. We also receive information telling us what site you linked to our site from.

When you send us an email using the Email Us page, we will retain the content of the email, your email address, and our response in order to handle any follow-up questions you may have.

We retain your name, and may retain other personal information such as mailing address, email address or credit card number when appropriate.

We may ask you to voluntarily provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our products, and contact preferences. We may combine this information with information about you which we gather from other sources. We may use the information to design offers customized to your interests.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. 

If you register on our website, we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can ask us to delete your personal information at any time (except you cannot change your username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have provided us with an email address, we may send you email messages related to your transactions with us. We may also send informational or promotional email messages to you, which you may opt out of receiving as described below.

We do not sell your name or other personally identifiable information to third parties. From time to time, we may engage third parties to process your information on our behalf; however, nicemanagers.com requires that these third parties comply with nicemanagers.com’s privacy policy when processing this information. When you purchase services or products through nicemanagers.com that are to be provided by another party we share your information with the third-party so that the third-party can provide the services or products you requested. We may also receive information about you from the third-party providers. We may share with third parties anonymous, aggregated information about all our users. If you post a comment on our website, your comment may be checked through an automated spam detection service located in the United States, EU, or other areas of the world.

You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Security regulations of several countries may require us to provide foreign and domestic government agencies with access to data you disclose to us. We may disclose personally identifiable information to government authorities or to third parties pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, to the extent we are required by law to do so.
