A Note About Security:

We use SSL encryption to protect all sensitive information online. We also do everything in our power to protect user-information offline. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.

Log Files

Graceful Simplicity follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

What we do with that information

Graceful Simplicity is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We do not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

We send all new members a welcome email to verify username and password. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications.

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
