Whilst we are committed to bringing you information tailored to your individual needs, we recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about you, our customers and prospects. In adopting this customer privacy policy, our intent is to balance our legitimate business interests in collecting and using information with your reasonable expectations of privacy.
We do not collect personally identifying information about individuals, except when specifically and knowingly provided by such individuals. We collect user-submitted personal information, including name, e-mail address, and birth date, in order to verify new accounts and send notifications regarding the Service. All Member accounts are password-protected. We go to great lengths to protect the account information that you have provided us. Access to this information is limited to only persons who need it in order to perform their task, such as site administrators, webmasters and staff. However, please note that we do not guarantee account security. Hardware or software failure, unauthorized use, and other factors may lead to a security breach.
Web servers serving this Site automatically collect information about which pages each user visits, which browser they use, and the domain name and/or IP address of visitors. This is used for internal review, to tailor information to individual visitors and for traffic audits.
A user's personally identifiable information (e.g., name, e-mail address) may be used by us for editorial purposes. For example, we may use information provided by you to us as part of an editorial online survey. If we run competitions or contests on the site, you may be required to provide information such as your telephone number and address in order to participate. The exact rules may vary in each case but the specific rules for any contest will state how that information may be used. We also may use personally identifiable information for marketing and promotional purposes. We may send you e-mails about our products, promotions, or services, where you have "opted in".
Except as stated in this privacy policy or at the time of collection, user's personally identifiable information will not be transferred to any third party other than our partners providing Internet hosting services or third party list managers unless stated at the time of collection. If you do not wish to receive any e-mail or to have us share such information with another party, you may "opt out" at any time by e-mailing us or contacting us by regular mail.
Technology on the Internet is developing at a rapid pace, and we need to maintain our flexibility in the online arena. If we need to change our policy in the future, we will post these changes as soon as they go into effect.
