Privacy Policy

Privacy policy last updated 12/9/09

We recognize that your privacy is important. This document outlines the types of personal information we receive and collect when you use ZenTactics.com, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard information. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information with us.

ZenTactics strives to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in all our operations. Likewise, we are dedicated to protecting our customers', consumers', and online visitors' privacy on our website.

Personal Information

ZenTactics collects personally identifiable information from the visitors to our website only on a voluntary basis. Personal information collected on a voluntary basis may include name, postal address, email address, company name and telephone number.

This information is collected if you request information from us, participate in a contest or sweepstakes, and sign up to join our email list or request some other service or information from us. The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of our website, notify our visitors of updates, and respond to visitor inquiries.

Once information is reviewed, it is discarded or stored in our files. If we make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information we will inform you by placing a notice on our site. Personal information received from any visitor will be used only for internal purposes and will not be sold or provided to third parties.

Use of Cookies and Web Beacons

We may use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the sites pages, or register with any of our site's services, a cookie enables ZenTactics to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your Web browser; however, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the site.

A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single website or collection of sites. They are also referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a web site.

We may serve third-party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the course of ads being served on our web site to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information on our web site.

Some third-party advertisements may be provided by Google, which uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google uses the DART cookie, which enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visits to this site and other sites on the Web. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions shouldn't cause a problem with our site, should you so choose.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

This website is directed to adults; it is not directed to children under the age of 13. We operate our site in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and will not knowingly collect or use personal information from anyone under 13 years of age.

Non-Personal Information

In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The information collected is used solely for internal review and not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.

Release of Information

If ZenTactics is sold, the information we have obtained from you through your voluntary participation in our site may transfer to the new owner as a part of the sale in order that the service being provided to you may continue. In that event, you will receive notice through our website of that change in control and practices, and we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser honors any opt-out requests you might make of us.

How You Can Correct or Remove Information

We provide this privacy policy as a statement to you of our commitment to protect your personal information. If you have submitted personal information through our website and would like that information deleted from our records or would like to update or correct that information, please use our contact form.

Advertising Policy

Advertising Policy last updated 1/19/2010

Are you aware that there is a cost involved in offering information through a web site?

When you visit ZenTactics we hope you find browsing and reading here both a learning experience and a pleasure. We love providing useful free information about all aspects of personal growth and child abuse recovery.

Product & Advertising Review Process

At ZenTactics, we're big fans of doing whatever it takes to enhance our own personal growth and yours as well. ZenTactics independently reviews personal development products and tries to give the most accurate and honest assessment we have of that product based on the information we have at the time. We (may) also run advertisements to support the site.

While the compensation received may influence the advertising and affiliate content, topics, or posts made in this website, we do our best to never recommend, take money for an ad, or affiliate ourselves with a company that we do not believe will help our readers in their quest for personal development. That goes against the mission of ZenTactics.

If we do accept compensation, it is because, and only because, we would have written about them anyway (But, hey...don’t tell our sponsors that!) That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content.

If someone sends us something to review and we don’t like it, instead of writing a really bad review, we usually just send the product back and don’t post anything at all.

More About Affiliates

ZenTactics has some affiliations with companies we use ourselves and are proud to recommend to our readers. We are able to earn a small commission if you click from our site to one of these companies.

Example of an Affiliation

Here's an example of how this works. You decide you want to try a meditation CD sold on this site based on a review we did. You click on the link that takes you to the company where this product is sold and purchase the product. ZenTactics is credited with a very small portion of that sale.

Let's assume you love the product you've purchased and you choose to order it again.

This is where you can help show your support.

If you or someone you refer go back to ZenTactics and click on our affiliate link we will again make that small commission. You also have a second option. You will no doubt get information directly from the merchant selling the product.

If you go directly to the merchant's web site, you will pay the same price but ZenTactics will not be credited with the sale or receive any compensation.

We greatly appreciate your loyalty and support as we continue to bring you new articles and information that we hope you enjoy as you browse our website.

Now that we've explained that process lets show you what we use and like. The Product Reviews section of the home page on the navigation menu contains reviews and affiliate links to products we've reviewed and used ourselves. It also contains links to products and books we've developed (or it will shortly if it's not there now).

We wish you the very best on your personal development journey.
