Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. netnation.net) and an IP Address (e.g. 152.765.14.445). When a visitor requests a page from within the Ad Wizard website, our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact, the only information that we automatically gather and log is as follows:
The IP Address of the Site that may have Referred you.
Your IP Address.
The Web Page that you may have linked to us from, if any.
The pages requested, and time and date of that request.

The Operating System platform that you may be running (e.g. Macintosh or Windows)
Search Words or Terms that are passed from a Search Engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo, or Lycos)

What information does Ad Wizard collect when I purchase something?
If you purchase something, such as a license for use of a advertisement or advertising artwork, or other products such as stationery, we need to obtain the appropriate information in order to complete the transaction.

The Ad Wizard welcomes your comments regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us by e-mail at legal@theadwizard.com
The Ad Wizard uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to us secure. For example, we store the personal information provided to us in computer servers with limited access and locate them in controlled facilities. However, no data sent over the internet or wireless networks can be sure of security. Thus, despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you send to us, and thus you do so at your own risk.
When we transmit sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) over the internet, we use encryption for protection. Ad Wizard reserves the right to transfer information in connection with the sale of all or part of The Ad Wizard capital stock or assets to any third party. Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information. For your convenience, Ad Wizard may also provide "links" to a wide variety of other web sites on the Internet. We are not responsible for their content or Privacy Policies or how those web sites manage information about their users. We strongly urge you to check with those web sites to determine their privacy policy.
