Privacy Policy

We at CYBERCASEMANAGER ENTERPRISES, LLC (CYBERCASEMANAGER), respect your right to privacy, and will do whatever we can to make your privacy technologically possible on this website.

There are generally three types of private information that others may have access to when you browse the internet or use a particular website: 1) Information you are asked to provide as a requirement for services, such as when you register for a service on a website, 2) Information you volunteer, such as when you post a comment on social media blogs, etc., and 3) Invisible Technological Information, which nonetheless may be very personally revealing, that is generated whenever you interact with technology.

The Privacy Policy of CYBERCASEMANAGER attempts to provide you with realistic expectations about your privacy in these three areas, in terms that are easy to understand. It also attempts to identify resources that can help you maximize your anonymity online should you want to, and to inform you to the best of our knowledge, under what circumstances information you disclose is passed along to other entities.

1. The privacy of information you are asked to provide us as a requirement for services.

You can browse and have access to most of the resources provided by CYBERCASEMANAGER without registering an account with us. This does not mean, however, that no information has been generated by your visit  — technological information is generated whenever you go anywhere on the internet, the privacy of such information is discussed further in section 3 below. The present section deals only with the privacy of information you are explicitly asked to provide us in exchange for services.

In the following instances we explicitly ask that you provide us information: (1) when you want to contact CYBERCASEMANAGER via email or contact forms, (2) when you register a free account to blog or otherwise post information on the website, or (3) when you subscribe to certain pay-per-use services. In all these instances we require that you provide an email address that can be validated, and a username. In the third instance, we also require that you provide payment information.

Privacy of the username you provide us. The username you provide will be used as the public identity of your account, and should therefor have no expectation of privacy associated with it, insofar as that it will appear alongside any comments, forum or blog posts that you voluntarily create on the website. It is not, however, publicly associated with the email address or financial information you provide us.

Privacy of the email address you provide us. We do not give out the email address you provide us, or associate it with your username to any third party, unless required by law (see below). Under no circumstances do we sell or trade the information you give us to others. We have a private messaging system in place that allows members to communicate with one another without anyone seeing each others email address, only their usernames, which insures a standard of privacy commonly accepted. You may also create an account using a disposable email address if you prefer to register this way. The drawback of using a disposable email address is that you can not configure your account to send you updates for certain events (such as when someone responds to your most recent post) because your email address has been disposed of.  Another drawback is that we have no way of reaching you in the rare instance that there is a problem with your account (and you have not responded to private messaging).

Privacy of payment information provided by our sponsors.  Generally speaking, whenever you purchase a product or service online, the credit card transaction is handled by third party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. The information you provide is therefor subject to their privacy policies.

At CYBERCASEMANAGER, payment information is disclosed to PayPal to verify and authorize the credit card used to process payment. We do not store this credit card information, but they do. This credit card information is therefor subject to PayPal’s privacy policy. The credit card information disclosed to us is secured during transmission to PayPal using industry standard e-commerce security technology such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

We understand if sponsors do not feel comfortable sending credit card information to us over the Internet and are happy to accept payment via mail. Please note, however, that we can only accept annual payments (as oppose to monthly installments) if you choose to send your payment by mail. Contact us by phone to make arrangements if you would like to send your payment by mail. Please also note that if you choose to mail your payment, we will have to maintain a record of your contact information to reach you annually to remind you of your balance due, and that your payment information will still be known by the banks processing payment to us.

Whether payment is handled via mail or online, ultimately your payment information is received by the banks to which we make deposits, and so the privacy policies of US Bank and PNC may be reviewed. We do not otherwise disclose the payment information you provide us unless required by law (see below).

2. Privacy of information you volunteer, such as when you post a comment on social media blogs, etc.

It is important to note that the information you volunteer in this way, such as in social network status updates, comments to posts or blogs, online groups or forums, are publicly available to others by nature — it is not private nor a secure and/or confidential means of communication. By accepting our privacy policy, you acknowledge that there can be no expectation of privacy with this type of information. We do provide you the ability to edit and/or delete content you post on the website if you change your mind later about what you shared — but this does not change the fact that others can copy and record your content prior to you editing or deleting it on our website. We require that you use your own discretion about how much personally revealing information you post (so long as it does not violate the decency clause of our terms of service).
