Protecting your privacy is a priority at Toolkit Cafe. Please read this privacy policy to learn how we keep your personal information confidential while using it to enhance the information and services we provide you.
1. Registration
If you register with Toolkit Cafe, you supply some personal information, including your e-mail address. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” option in the e-mail.
2. How is Collected Information Used?
We use the personal information you supply to provide you with valuable information that is relevant to your professional interests. The information you might receive via e-mail in future updates or reports is customized according to what you tell us about your top business priorities. Based on information you share with us, we might also send you updates about white papers, research, training materials, templates and software tools available to our customers. Many of these resources are free, and some are offered at special discounts for Toolkitcafe customers.
Toolkit Cafe never shares the personal or business information you provide us with anyone without your implied permission. Some free content available to our customers, such as white papers and research reports, might require that we share specific personal information with the publisher or sponsor of that content. In such instances, that content is identified as sponsored content and your retrieval of such content will serve as your implied permission to share that information with the content sponsor. The specified third party may receive business demographic and/or business contact information we have collected from you including information you may submit at the time of the download as well as the name of the content you downloaded at that time, and may receive information regarding similar or related content you downloaded or viewed in the past. Also, some premium products we might offer for sale, such as printed books or CD-ROMS, are actually delivered by their publishers. By purchasing such a product, you give us permission to share your address and other required information with the publisher, with whom you begin a separate business relationship. Finally, if you sign up for a Toolkit Cafe subscription product, you implicitly give us permission to share your information with vendors who are essential in the delivery of services and features included in your subscription. For example, our Web-hosting and e-mail delivery vendors may need to store your information on their servers while helping us send you your weekly reports. However, these essential vendors will use your personal information only as needed to deliver products and services which you have requested or purchased from us.
3. Links to Third-Party Web Sites
Some of Toolkit Cafe reports contain links to third-party Web sites. This privacy statement applies only to the Toolkitcafe.com Web site and information collected by Toolkit Cafe. It does not apply to any third-party Web sites you access from our weekly reports or our Web site, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites.
4. Security
Toolkit Cafe employs several physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the personal information you provide us. For the purpose of business operations, access to your information is limited to authorized employees who need it to perform their jobs or to provide you with requested services and products.
5. Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of computer code that lets Web servers “identify” visitors. If you sign up for one of our subscription products, each time you initiate a session on the Toolkitcafe.com site, our server will use a cookie to identify you as a subscriber and provide you with appropriate access privileges. These cookies do not store any of the personal information you have provided through the site; they are simply identifiers. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually refuse cookies, or selectively accept cookies, by adjusting the preferences in your browser. However, if you turn cookies off, some features of our site will not be available to you and some Web pages may not display properly. You can find information about how you can adjust the cookie settings for common browsers at the following Web sites:

6. Web Beacons
Toolkit Cafe may at some point in the future use electronic images known as Web beacons, or clear GIFs, to monitor the use of our Web site and e-mail reports. A Web beacon is a graphic image, often transparent and usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, which works in combination with cookies to track usage of a Web page or e-mail containing it.

7. Redirected URLs
Toolkit Cafe uses redirected URLs to keep track of Web traffic generated by links in our e-mail reports. Redirected URLs route subscribers to Web sites after recording who they are and the links they click. This information helps Toolkit Cafe further personalize the information we provide subscribers by sending them special reports and exclusive offers related to the topics that are most important to them.
