Cookies
Sound Reading Solutions LLC utilizes cookies in order to
identify customers returning to our websites
soundreading.com and mathmakessense.com. A cookie is a

Legal Disclaimer
Sound Reading Solutions endeavors to preserve user
privacy. It
may be necessary to disclose personal information when

Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be
aware that we, Sound Reading Solutions, LLC, are not
responsible for the
privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to
be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy
statements of each and every Web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This
privacy
statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web
site.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our
users’ information. When users submit sensitive
information via the Web site, their information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or
social security number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in
the industry – Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). While on a
secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our power
to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. All employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and
privacy
practices. Every six months, as well as any time new
policies are added, our employees are notified and/or
reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and
what they can do to ensure our users’ information is
protected. Finally, the servers that store personally
identifiable information are in a secure environment.
