Power Presenters

Our company and site policies

Site content use policy
We would be happy to allow you to reprint our articles and resources on your related web site or in your electronic or print communications. We do, however, require three things in return.

1. We ask that all articles or resources be reprinted in their entirety including the "resource box" (author and site information) and links back to our site as provided with each article or resource.
2. Do not simply link to our article or resource within a frame of your page, etc. You must republish the work on your site, on your servers.
3. Email us and let us know when and where our work is appearing. If at all possible, we'd appreciate getting a heads up in advance, but we're always interested in what others in our field are covering and what they have to say about our topics.
   

Site privacy policies at at glance
We take the privacy of our email list members and site visitors very seriously. Unless directed by law enforcement agents, we have no intention of ever sharing the personal information of any of our members and visitors. Even though this position is one that puts us in opposition to some provisions of the Can Spam Act (sharing unsubscribe information with advertisers), we intend to stand by our policy.

On the other hand, we know that our members and visitors are an open and sharing group, and that we all have a great deal to learn from one another. If you have something to share, we'd love to hear from you, but would assume that you are also giving us permission in that case to publish your name, and or other identifying information.

The following information covers that big gray area in between and seeks to explain what information we do gather on our site and what we do with it once we have it. We welcome your comments and questions and ask that you direct them to:

Power Presenters
720 Adams
Rockton, IL 61072

Personal identifiers:
We will make every attempt to keep the individually identifying information about our members off the site. This means we will not identify the individuals in pictures taken during rides or events without their express permission. Full names will also not be used without permission. Partial names or pictures will not be connected to other personally identifying information whenever and wherever possible. However, Power Presenters cannot be held liable for any actions that result from outside parties identifying members from the above sources.

IP Addresses:
IP addresses identify individual computers; not people. We collect IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer our website, and to track visitor usage of the site. We do not continue to collect IP address information after a visitor has left our site. Nor do we distribute cookies (which are used to track returning visitors to a site).

Information Collection:
Power Presenters is the sole owner of all information collected in regards to Power Presenters email list members or site visitors. We collect information at shows, casual meetings, from emails and forms delivered to this website’s email account, downloaded or emailed forms housed on this site, from our newsletter and other means that may or may not be used to directly affect the content or operation of this website.

Content submissions:
We welcome and encourage visitors to add to the content of our sites by submitting pictures or written content. Your stories from the road and the trenches help us all, but please understand that all content submitted becomes the property of Power Presenters to edit and use at our sole discretion. We cannot guarantee to be able to original photos, etc. although we will make every effort to if asked.

If you have a situation that you think would make a great case study and help others become better at using multimedia to promote their businesses, please contact us directly. That way we can work together to tell the story in the best possible way for both our audience and yours.

Information Sharing:
It is not the policy of Power Presenters to rent or sell personal information to any third parties at this time.

Legal Exceptions:
We will disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

Children and Privacy:
Power Presenters.org does not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe Power Presenters.org has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us immediately.

Links:
This site contains links to and from other sites. Power Presenters is not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites, nor are we responsible for any content on any linked sites or for any goods or services available from them.

Power Presenters works hard to ensure that the information contained on our web pages is accurate, relevant and of the high quality that our visitors have come to expect. While we reviewed the content and quality of each site that we link to before establishing those links, we cannot be held responsible for any changes in content or quality that may have occurred since we first established that link. We appreciate your comments regarding any linked material you feel may be inappropriate.

Advertisements and Affiliate Relationships:
Power Presenters does accept and display advertisements from third party vendors. In most cases, Power Presenters is affiliated with the company whose ads appear on our site. Sales affiliate revenues do provide one of our income sources. Whether or not such a relationship does exist, each ad or program placed on our site is investigated separately prior to the ad being accepted. In other words, our endorsement of Company A’s design templates, for example, does not automatically extend to all products or services sold by Company A.

We take our reputation very seriously, and do not endorse or recommend programs, products or services we do not believe would be of great benefit to our clients and visitors. Unfortunately, the speed of change on the Internet prevents us from maintaining a day-to-day operating relationship with many of those companies. For that reason, we cannot be held responsible for any changes in those companies, their products, pricing or services.

Unauthorized Advertisements:
We are aware of automated software that exists which will create external links from our content to what they consider to be related material, which other companies have paid to have shown. We are not responsible for the quality of this software or the nature of the material that it links to. (We would greatly appreciate hearing about any encounters with this form of contextual advertising that you may experience when viewing our site.)

Changing subscription or database information and options:
Power Presenters does not currently offer a regularly scheduled electronic newsletters, etc. with to our customers and friends. However, we do maintain a database of email addresses for those people who have asked to receive periodic announcements and updates from Power Presenters.

Anyone wishing to be added to this list, or to unsubscribe, or change the email information we hold for them in our database can do so at any time. All requests are handled in a timely manner and in compliance with local and federal laws. Such additions, changes and removals may be made by:

• Contacting us through the Contact Us form on the website at: www.powerpresenters.com

Changes to this policy:
Power Presenters reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
