Your privacy is vitally important to us at Upward Arrow. We have a few principles that guide us:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals: Note, this privacy policy is governed by a Creative Commons Sharealike license and the original policy was provided by the good folks at Automattic.com.
Upward Arrow, LLC (“Upward Arrow”) provides a number of Products and Services with Accompanying Materials. It is Upward Arrow’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our Website and providing our Products and Services. If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal information please contact us.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Upward Arrow 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. Upward Arrow’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use our Website. From time to time, Upward Arrow may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, for example by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Website or Products and Services.
Upward Arrow also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in people and for people leaving comments on a blog or using an Account on our site.
We anonymize the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for non-logged in visitors to our website.
Upward Arrow only discloses logged in person and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Upward Arrow’s websites choose to interact with Upward Arrow in ways that require Upward Arrow to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Upward Arrow gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for our email list to provide a name and email address.
Those who register an Account or engage in transactions with Upward Arrow – by purchasing Products or Services, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the billing address, payment method and other information required to process those transactions. In each case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Upward Arrow.
We do 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
We may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to our website. For instance, Upward Arrow may monitor the most popular blog posts, Products and Services, and Membership meetings. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, we do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Upward Arrow 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 Upward Arrow’s behalf or to provide services available at Upward Arrow’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 our website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
We 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, Upward Arrow discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Upward Arrow believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Upward Arrow, third parties or the public at large.
If you have registered an Account at Upward Arrow or signed up for an email list on Upward Arrow website and have supplied your email address, Upward Arrow 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 Upward Arrow and our Products and Services. We primarily use our blog 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. Upward Arrow takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
