Who we are
Webb Weavers Consulting and the website https://www.webbweaversconsulting.com is owned and operated by Debbie Gadbois.
Collecting information
When you visit our website, we may collect information about you that you voluntarily choose to share with us. This identification information may include, but is not limited to, your name, your physical address, your email address, your telephone and fax numbers. What may be less obvious to you is that, when you visit our website, we may collect data involving your usage through the use of “cookies” (i.e. small text files placed on your computer by a website), web server logs, and other web tools. This technology allows us to customize your online experience, as well as track your Internet use. The tracking data we collect may include, but is not limited to, the date and time you visit, the time you spend, the web pages you view, the other web sites you visit, your search queries, and basic information about your computer, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, your domain name, your browser type, and the name of your Internet service provider. You may deactivate cookies if you do not want your browsing to be tracked, but doing so may hinder your online experience. When visiting our website, you may be directed, through hyperlinks, to other websites that are beyond our control.
Email and contact forms
Should you send an email, or use the email contact form on the website, your email address, IP address, and any data provided in the contact form or body of the email will be stored in our email account.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
All web servers track basic information about their visitors. This information includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, browser details, timestamps and referring pages. None of this information can personally identify specific visitors to this site. The information is tracked for routine administration and maintenance purposes.
We also use Google Analytics for tracking visitors and aggregating information about the traffic to the website. The Google Analytics privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can learn more about how to opt-out of tracking in Google Analytics here.
Controlling your privacy
Note that you can change your browser settings to disable cookies if you have privacy concerns. Disabling cookies for all sites is not recommended as it may interfere with your use of some sites. The best option is to disable or enable cookies on a per-site basis. Consult your browser documentation for instructions on how to block cookies and other tracking mechanisms.
Using information collected
We primarily use the identification information you voluntarily share with us to customize your online experience and to do what you have asked of us. We also use your identification information to tell you about our products and services, but you may instruct us not to send communications to you by contacting us. On occasion, we use your identification information to validate your identity. As for usage tracking data, we primarily use that information to operate and improve our web site, and to further our marketing efforts. As a general rule, we do not share your information with unaffiliated third parties. We may, however, share your information with our own personnel, our service providers and technology partners to the extent necessary to fulfill your requests. We reserve the right to disclose your information under limited circumstances, such as to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect our own legal rights, or to protect the public good. Whenever you are online, you run the risk that the information you give out will fall into the wrong hands. Although we implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to us. We accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of third parties.
Ensuring secure billing transactions
When paying by credit card for any of Webb Weavers Consulting’s services, the credit card and billing information you supply is transferred, using the most secure transmission technology, to a trusted third party for processing (as of July 2008, QuickBooks Merchant Service, provided by Innovative Merchant Solutions, LLC, an Intuit Company.) QuickBooks Merchant Service requires that all card-accepting merchants comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This is the standard that the card associations (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover® Network, and JCB) have agreed upon for how this data is stored, processed, and transmitted. Please visit www.pcisecuritystandard.org for more information and a full listing of the requirements. And as of 2022 Intuit also requires certification of PCI compliance with SecurityMetrics, visit their FAQ page for more information www.securitymetrics.com/blog/pci-dss-compliance-faq. Rest assured that your credit card information is never stored in any part of the Webb Weavers Consulting website or in our database.
Data retention
We retain Personal Information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise personal information. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Marketing Campaigns
We use email marketing to communicate with customers and potential customers from time to time. All email lists and campaigns are “opt-in” meaning we will not send you these sorts of emails unless you indicated that you wish to receive them during signup or other interactions on our website or if you gave verbal consent. All marketing emails sent by us will include an unsubscribe link in the footer of the email. Emails sent to you may also include standard tracking, including open and click activities. Below are the policies pertaining to WebbMail accounts and Webb Weavers Consulting’s email marketing.
Content disclaimer
Webb Weavers Consulting is not responsible for the content in any of our clients’ email campaigns or websites, nor anything they may post on social media. Any information provided or opinions that are given by our clients are those of our clients and in no way reflect upon the views or information provided by Webb Weavers Consulting.
Policies pertaining to WebbMail and our email marketing efforts
Webb Weavers Consulting is dedicated to protecting your privacy and the privacy of anyone on the receiving end of a WebbMail-delivered email. To that end, we have instituted certain policies to help us make sure WebbMail Email Marketing remains a safe, trusted environment for email marketing and correspondence.
This following outlines those policies and our efforts to enforce them.
A simple, straightforward policy on permission
WebbMail Email Marketing is a permission-based email-marketing platform. It is designed to let organizations send emails to people who want to receive those emails. Webb Weavers Consulting’s permission and privacy policy is part of the Terms of Use agreed to by every Webb Weavers Consulting client that uses WebbMail Email Marketing, and it appears as a reminder on WebbMail’s import process every time new lists are added. It goes beyond the stipulations set forth in the United States’ CAN-SPAM Act and is as follows:
|
To send an email to someone using WebbMail, that recipient must be:
|
No list rental or purchasing allowed here
While many services allow you to purchase or otherwise obtain a list of addresses of people you’ve never met and send them emails, Webb Weavers Consulting does not. We do not rent, sell, or otherwise share our lists or those of our clients, and we do not allow any Webb Weavers Consulting client to send to rented or purchased lists using the WebbMail network.
Why we don’t allow list rentals or purchases
Webb Weavers Consulting goes beyond the Can-Spam law to prohibit the sending of unsolicited commercial emails to any lists that have been rented or purchased. Why? Because we’ve learned that lists obtained in that manner aren’t worth the trouble and expense. We know that email works best when it appeals to an audience that’s receptive to your message, and that begins with a true permission-based list.
No old lists allowed either
When it comes to sending permission-based email, the age of the list matters. If enough time passes between someone initially subscribing to your list and eventually receiving an email from you, permission “expires” as people eventually forget what they’ve signed up for. That’s why we don’t allow sending to any email address that was obtained more than 18 months ago and has *not* received any correspondence from you since that time.
Keeping your personal information, well, personal
In order to create and administer your WebbMail account, we explicitly ask for and collect certain information about you and your company, including financial information used to verify identity and bill for services. Under no circumstances will we share your (or any other member’s) personal information with any third party, except in the circumstance where the requesting organization is a high-powered government agency with the authority and requisite threats of long-term jail sentences to make us share that personal information. Otherwise, no one gets access to your information, ever.
We also collect certain aggregate information about our clients. We use this information to improve our services and do a better job of marketing them. We may also report such information – always in aggregate form and never in a way that could identify individuals – to third parties, such as newspapers or industry observers or potential clients and partners.
Protecting your customer lists and data
We do everything we can to make sure your customer lists, email content and response data remains private and confidential. Though we reserve the right to monitor your lists, content and response data from time to time to make sure they comply with our Terms of Use, we will never share, sell or rent your customer data to anyone for any reason.
Data retention
We will retain information we process on behalf of our customers for as long as needed to provide services to our customers (unless deletion is requested at an earlier time by the customer) and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. We reserve the right to delete customer’s, customer’s users’, and customer’s contacts’ information at the termination of customer’s contract with us (unless such deletion is prohibited by applicable laws).
When Webb Weavers Consulting sends emails to you
Just as we ask and expect you to respect the in-box of your customers, we will do our best to respect yours. The only emails you’ll receive from us will be our monthly newsletters, WebbNews and WebbTips, and emails related to your account or your use of WebbMail. We might alert you to new features or site enhancements. We might check in to see how your last campaign went. Some of those emails may be directed to everyone, and some of them may be written just for you. Rest assured, *we will never sell, rent or otherwise share your email address.*
A note about social media
WebbMail uses an industry standard method called OAuth for connecting your social accounts to our application. The permissions granted allow us to post messages to your social networks on your behalf. All messages are initiated by our users, and we never post on your behalf without your consent. We do not store login, password or personal information in our system and you can remove authorization for any or all networks at any time. We will not use, share, display or transfer any data returned from any network with any third party at any time.
To sum things up…
Your privacy, and the privacy of people on both sides of WebbMail-delivered emails, is extremely important to us, and we’ll do everything we can to protect it. If you suspect this email permission policy has been abused in any way, please notify us at abuse@webbweaversconsulting.com – forwarding the email you received, or the email address it was sent from will also be helpful.
