policies

I know this is the dry stuff; the stuff no one likes to bother with. But policies matter because they tell you about me and whether you can trust me. I hope you do take the time to read them—they’ll certainly be here when you want them.

Integrity Policy

It’s important, as you evaluate companies online with whom you could do business, that you feel secure that they offer something of value, and that people are not being scammed or ripped off in any way. Because integrity is of vast importance to me, I welcome you and urge you to check me out as thoroughly as you need to before deciding whether to work with me. I’m open to answering all your questions. I don’t put up smoke screens or make vague promises because I don’t have good answers. I offer you the truth, whether it’s good or not-so-good, and leave the decision making in your hands. Most of all, I suggest you go with your gut. If I feel legit to you, that’s because I am.

Copyright Policy

All written material, graphics, and HTML code found on this website and any of my materials are protected by United States Federal Copyright law. Trademarks registered and unregistered are protected by United States Federal Trademark law. Nothing found here may be, under any circumstances, be reprinted in any form, or hosted on any website without explicit written permission from me (Anastacia Brice). Please don’t steal my stuff. It’s foolish to break the law, and I defend copyright vigorously. Besides, you’re an original, and you want to show that to the world, which doesn’t happen if you look like me. If you are unsure about what copyright infringement or intellectual property piracy is, please do your due diligence and learn. Here are some great resources to get you started:

PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read this privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how I collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information.

What information I collect
I only ask for personal information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or payment information when I have a legitimate business interest and truly need the information to provide a service to you that you’ve asked me to provide, such as when you buy something from me, register for a class or appointment, fill out a survey, leave a comment on a blog, subscribe to a newsletter or to receive occasional promotional and informational messages from us.
