The bottom line? We have great respect for you, and that includes respect for any information you choose to share with us.

Ivy Sea Online does not collect information other than what you choose to share with us.

Our online-merchants and newsletter email-list vendors - eJunkie, PayPal and ListCast/Slingshot - are established, reputable vendors who have strict privacy policies.

They allow you to change your profiles or other information at any time, and you can at any time update us at Ivy Sea so that we may note such changes in our files, as appropriate. If you have any specific concerns about their policies, you may reivew them directly at their web sites.

We at Ivy Sea do not sell your contact information to any third party, or otherwise knowingly provide the contact information you choose to share with us (email, address, name, etc.) to any third party that is not affiliated with Ivy Sea Online or Ivy Sea

We have not installed or coded any "hidden cookies" at Ivy Sea Online to secretly collect information from you or from your computer outside of that which you choose to share with us, or that our ISP collects for the usual general-purpose site-visit statistics.

Though we can't be responsible for the activities of third parties, e.g. people or organizations outside of Ivy Sea and outside of any Ivy Sea control or influence, we would not knowingly support activities that violate commonly accepted rules about the collection and use of sensitive information, etc. If a situation were to occur, we would do our best reply to your inquiries within a reasonable period, and get to the root of it to the extent of our capabilities.

Basically, we pretty much detest the behavior of third-parties who violate the public trust and the terms of civil and ethical enterprise by dishonestly and surreptitiously collecting information, spamming, phishing, sliming, spoofing, etc. It's unfortunate, but it's also a reality in the information age.

All we can honestly say is that we'll do our best and take care of our own shop according to our values and ethics, which, in the case of privacy, is stated above.

If you have any questions about our privacy policy, don't hesitate to send us an email or contact us by telephone or regular mail. You'll find our contact information in the "About Ivy Sea" section of this web site.

Ivy Sea's content has been recognized by Harvard Business School, Inc.com, About.com, CEO Refresher, and others as an excellent resource for organizational leaders, entrepreneurs, mastery seekers, paradigm shifters, and change agents.

• articles,

Learn more about the four Ivy Sea^® VIP Membership levels.

WHY BECOME A VIP MEMBER?

Three key reasons:

(1) Premium content for training & development;

(2) Saving you time (why recreate the wheel?);

(3) Reprint-distribution rights (saving time and money).

Our VIPs gain access to a large library of VIP-only articles, tip sheets, dialogue starters, and PDF skill-guides and workbooks, in addition to the content available to all Ivy Sea Online visitors. Some of our most premium and popular content -- that which is often used in training, leadership, change programs, etc. -- is only available in the VIP Content Center.

Also, our Gold, Platinum, and Diamond VIP Members are authorized to reprint and distribute Ivy Sea Online's exclusive, copyrighted articles and PDF resources within their organizations or to clients, members, etc. (depending on membership terms).

You can access the exclusive VIP resources by becoming a VIP now!

Copyright, Reprints and Interviews

All Ivy Sea articles, tip sheets, issue papers, dialogue-starters, and other materials are protected by copyright -- though we're pretty generous with sharing resources and allowing reprints upon request.

We often allow the reprinting of an article for no fee if the organization is not-for-profit and severely budget-restricted, and serves a positive community service mission, or if such distribution serves another positive purpose. If this is you, just send us an email and ask.

Reprint and distribution rights for VIP Members:
Ivy Sea VIP Gold, Platinum and Diamond Members are authorized to reprint and redistribute the copyright-protected articles, tip sheets, dialogue-starters, or other materials from Ivy Sea Online's public and VIP-only libraries during the course of their VIP Membership period, and we've set a membership fee that is deemed affordable and fair by both our for-profit and nonprofit subscribers.

Public content available to all Ivy Sea Online visitors:
Non-VIP-Members may visit Ivy Sea Online to read the current and previous monthly editions, select from our large roster of free articles and tip sheets that don't require a VIP Membership to view, and read or print for individual, non-commercial personal development use or research.

Linking to Ivy Sea Online:
You may also link directly to Ivy Sea Online from your web site. Beyond that, reprint and distribution of any kind requires our express permission, or a VIP Membership, or you will be in violation of copyright law.

Journalists, periodical and book publishers, send us an email, or visit our Media Center for information on reprinting or excerpting or compiling Ivy Sea articles in your magazines, journals, online zines, or other publications.
