Pagesincolor.com Privacy Policy

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal paints a disturbing picture
of just how much data web sites are capable of using and accessing when
they track visitors to a web site. The article is here.
For the record, Peacemovies.com and Pagesincolor.com only use general
analog statistics to track visitors. All I know about you when you
visit the sites are what pages were viewed and the exact times and
dates that the pages were viewed. I don't get any individual info such
as the user's ip address. There are some statistics that show what web
sites the visitors came from, such as facebook, or what search terms
were used in google. All of these statistics are displayed in aggregate
form in the administration portion of the web site and are accessable
the following business day. Some web sites linked from Peacemovies.com
or Pagesincolor.com that are not part of Peacmovies.com or
Pagesincolor.com are framed so that clicks to those sites will show up
in the statistics for Peacemovies.com and Pagesincolor.com. In those
cases, when you click on the link for the new web site, the address bar
will still show peacemovies.com or pagesincolor.com.
Fandango and Amazon.com affiliate
programs: Fandango (administered through commission
junction: www.cj.com) and Amazon.com have their own privacy
policies for their customers. The part that relates directly to
your use of Peacemovies.com and Pagesincolor.com is the
following: The Fandango banners have a tracking capability that
allows the number of impressions to be tracked. That is, when a
Fandango banner is displayed on your computer screen, that is an
"impression" and is recorded by the cj.com software. This is done by
having the image for the banner stored at cj.com and recording how many
times the image is requested to be displayed. The total number of
impressions and clicks from the previous day are viewable by the
Peacemovies.com site administrator along with statistics for any sales
made through cj.com. No individual statistics are viewable.
Amazon.com only tracks clicks and sales, not impressions. Here too, no
individual statistics are viewable. The dates, but not the exact
times of any clicks or impressions or sales, are the only pieces of
information available for viewing by the Peacemovies.com web site
administrator. Amazon has a further breakdown that displays the types
of links that were clicked, but here again no individual data is
displayed, not even individual product links. Of course the total
commissions for all sales are tallied and the conversion rates of
clicks to sales are tracked on both Fandango and Amazon.com.
There is an out of date page on the peacemovies.com or pagesincolor.com
site that asks you to enter your
e-mail address to enter a t-shirt giveaway contest. Please ignore that
request.
It is my goal to build my business without using an e-mail list that
every internet marketing guru since the beginning of time seems to
think is a pot of gold. Spam is still spam, even if it is being
sent to a "customer". You are invited to follow peacemovies on Twitter
or to become friends with John Thielking on Facebook. The privacy
policies of Twitter and Facebook apply if you choose to sign up for
either of those options. No direct messages will be sent on
Facebook or Twitter to any followers other than the personal friends of
John Thielking, except as a response to a direct message sent to
peacemovies or John Thielking. Regular tweets, mostly about movie
reviews available on Peacemovies.com, and regular updates to the
Facebook news feed about simillar subjects are the only items that you
should see from me when you join Twitter or Facebook. All of the
peacemovies tweets since July 4, 2010 are viewable by visiting http://www.twitter.com/peacemovies.
There is an additional option to enter your personal information at the
web site http://www.jointhesolution.com/pagesincolor.
The
information entered at that web site will only be used to sell you
on the idea of getting solar power installed on your home and will not
be sold or transferred to a third party not involved with an actual
solar panel installation on your home. If you enter your information at
that site, you can expect follow up e-mails and phone calls to close
the sale.
Thank you and I hope your visits to Peacemovies.com and
Pagesincolor.com will be enjoyable ones.
