Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At LikeWise Fiction (LikeWise) we have a few fundamental principles:
We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, LikeWise collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. LikeWise's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how LikeWise's visitors use its website. From time to time, LikeWise may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
LikeWise also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. LikeWise does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to LikeWise's websites choose to interact with LikeWise in ways that require LikeWise to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that LikeWise gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who subscribe to our email newsletter to provide a username and email address. In each case, LikeWise collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with LikeWise. LikeWise does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
LikeWise may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. LikeWise may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, LikeWise does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
LikeWise discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on LikeWise's behalf or to provide services available at LikeWise's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using LikeWise's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. LikeWise will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, LikeWise discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or with the permission of the affected individual, or when LikeWise believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of LikeWise , third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a LikeWise website and have supplied your email address, LikeWise may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with LikeWise and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. LikeWise takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. LikeWise uses cookies to help LikeWise identify and track visitors, their usage of LikeWise website, and their website access preferences. LikeWise visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using LikeWise's websites, with the drawback that certain features of LikeWise's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, LikeWise may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in LikeWise's sole discretion. LikeWise encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
