This privacy policy covers how we treat personal information that we
collect and receive. We do not intend to collect any personal
information from children under 13 unless we believe such collection to
be permitted by law. Please see below for our policy with respect to
children under 13.
General
We gather user information to provide you with a customized experience
on our site. Your user information helps us tailor the content,
services, goods and advertising to your current and future needs. For
this reason, we may ask you to register or to provide personal
information when you post comments, enter a contest, order products,
subscribe to a newsletter and/or visit certain areas of our site. If you
choose not to register you may not have access to areas that require
personal identification.
If you register with our site or purchase products from us, from time to
time we may e-mail you with messages about our services or third party
products and services we believe may be of interest to you, such as new
products, features, services, special offers and updated information.
The newsletters may contain code that enables our database to track your
usage of the newsletters, including whether the e-mail was opened and/or
what links (if any) were clicked. We will combine that information with
other information we have about you and may use that information to
improve your site experience and/or provide customized e-mail
communications to you. In addition, if you register with our site or
purchase products you may automatically receive e-mails confirming your
registration and/or purchase and providing you with necessary
information relating to the access or use of your registration and/or
purchase. With the exception of the e-mails described in the preceding
sentence which are necessary to provide customer support and deliver
products and services to you, you may opt-out of receiving e-mail from
us as described below.
Use of Information
When you register, we ask for your e-mail address, a unique nickname
selected by you and other information. Once you are a registered user
you can update your profile and may be able to provide additional
preferential information.
For contests, we collect information from users in order to register
them for the contest and to provide for payment. We may use an order
form for users to request information, products and services. For that
order form, we collect a user's contact information (e-mail address) and
necessary financial information to process the order (i.e. credit card
number). Contact information from the order (including e-mail) may be
used to deliver digital products and information. We may use third
parties to accept and process orders and credit card purchases for
merchandise and products, including software.
We may occasionally present a special contest or promotion that is
sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry in that contest or
promotion, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to
share that information with the sponsor(s) or with others, we will
provide a statement to that effect in the contest or promotion terms.
All communication on the Internet takes place between pairs of IP
Addresses. Our Web servers will log the IP address that any connection
is made from. We may use these IP addresses to help diagnose technical
problems or prevent abuse of our systems or other site users. Your IP
address may also be used to gather aggregate demographic data and target
advertisements accordingly.
Your browser has options to accept, reject, or provide you with notice
when a cookie is sent. A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored
with your Web browser for record-keeping purposes and to help us provide
better service to you. We use cookies to save your password (in an
encrypted format) on your machine so you don't have to re-enter it each
time you visit our site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific
to your interests and track your downloads and purchases from our site.
We use companies [Google (
www.google.com),
Tribal Fusion (
www.tribalfusion.com),
Fastclick (
www.fastclick.com),
24/7 Real Media (
www.realmedia.com),
RightMedia (
www.rightmedia.com),
BudsInc (

ImpressionUp (

and AdBrite (
www.AdBrite.com)] to
serve the advertisements on some of our pages. These companies and
advertisers may place and access their cookies on your computer. Other
companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy
policies, not ours. We may use your information or allow advertisers or
companies that serve advertisements access to your information to
determine which advertisements you will see. This information may
include your demographic information, geographic location, what content
you access on our site, how you rate various content, language contained
in your comments and other information.
Our site contains links, including banner and other ads, to other
Websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of such Websites. Our site may also link to Websites that
feature our trademarks and names along with trademarks and names of
other companies. You should look at the privacy policy on that
co-branded Website, as the co-branded Website may not be under our
control.
Applications you use or download from our site may contain third party
digital rights management systems ('DRMS') which may allow for
communication between your software and the third party and utilize
security features (e.g., preventing distribution of or access to the
applications in the event of unauthorized use). These DRMS are subject
to their own license agreements and you agree that we shall not be
responsible for any loss or damage of any sort relating to the use of
the DRMS or your dealings with such third parties. The applications may
also contain DRMS produced by us which allow for communication between
the applications you use or download and our systems and which collect
information describing your computer system in order to prevent illegal
or unauthorized use of the applications.
For reasons such as improving member experience and providing customized
communications to our users, we may receive information about you from
third party sources and our web logs and add it to the information that
we have received from you. Web logs automatically record anything a web
server sees, which may include e-mail addresses you enter into a form or
pages viewed by a user at a particular IP address.
Information Sharing
We will not share your personally identifiable information with third
parties, aside from entities that perform services for us, such as
fulfilling orders or processing payment, that either are bound to comply
with our privacy policy or have privacy policies that protect your
information unless you have "opted-in" to such sharing. If you have
previously opted-in to such sharing under a prior privacy policy
version, you are still considered to have opted-in under this privacy
policy. As stated, and whether or not you have opted-in, we may use
third parties to accept and process orders for merchandise and products,
including software, and such third parties may get access to your
personal information for the purposes of providing services or products
to you on our behalf. In addition, if you opt-out, we may share that
information with third parties who send e-mails on our behalf so that
they do not e-mail you.
However, we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by
law or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to
(1) comply with the law or with legal process served on us; (2) protect
and defend our rights or property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect
someone�s safety.
We may request demographic information from you (for example, your age,
education level or household income) from time to time. We will not
share that information in a manner that identifies you as an individual
with any other entity, unless we let you know that at the time of
collection or we have your permission. When we share demographic
information with third parties, we will give them aggregate information
only.
In the event that we acquired by another company, your personal
information may be part of the assets transferred to the acquiring
party.
Opt-Out
If you provide us with your e-mail address, and do not opt-out of
receiving e-mail from us, we may e-mail you with information, including
information about selected third parties. If you do not want to receive
information from us, you may decline to receive it (or "Opt-Out") either
when you provide personal information to us or you may update your
profile. You may also choose to Opt-Out from certain types of e-mail by
following the unsubscribe instructions that appear on each newsletter.
You may also contact us as provided below. Please note that there might
be a brief delay between when you submit your request to opt-out and
when it is processed and reflected in our systems; accordingly you might
continue to receive e-mails from us for a few days after you
unsubscribe. We maintain records of those users who opt-out of specific
e-mail options so that we do not e-mail them with respect to those types
of e-mails, and we may share this information with third parties who
send e-mails on our behalf so that they do not e-mail you; this
information may also be contained in web logs (see above).
Children Under 13
Our site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We assume
products purchased through credit card means are purchased by adults. We
respect the privacy of parents and children and are committed to
complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). On
those areas of the sites that ask for age, we do not collect personal
information from individuals who identify themselves as under the age of
13 except in those limited circumstances where we believe that such
collection is permitted under COPPA.
If a parent believes that his or her child has submitted personal
information to we, he or she can contact us via e-mail or postal mail as
listed below. We will promptly delete the information upon learning that
it relates to a child under the age of 13. Please note that it is
possible some of this information may remain archived in web logs and
back-up archives after we delete the information from its active
database (see above regarding web logs, and below regarding archived
information).
We believe that parents should supervise their children's online
activities and consider using parental control tools available from
online services and software manufacturers that help provide a
kid-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children
from otherwise disclosing online their name, address and other personal
information without parental permission.
Other
We have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information under our control. These include a
firewall to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and maintenance
of registration information in a separate database. Although we will
exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information
between your computer and our servers, we cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet and we
accept no liability for any unintentional disclosure. We will protect
the transmission of credit card information through industry standard,
SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.
We may offer chat, user reviews, multi-player games, bulletin board, or
other public functions and any posting by you is considered public
information available to other users. Any posting is governed by our
Terms of Use. You should take care to not use personal information in
your screen name or other information that might be publicly available
to other users.
If a user elects to use our site for informing a friend about our site
or particular features or content, we ask them for the friend's name and
e-mail address. We will automatically send the friend a one-time e-mail
inviting them to visit our site. We store this information for the sole
purpose of sending this one-time e-mail.
Your personal information is password-protected, and you should take
appropriate measures to protect the secrecy of your password. If you use
a computer in a public place or share a computer with others, remember
to sign out and close your browser window when you finish a session with
us in order to prevent others from accessing your personal information.
We maintain archives of our web logs, database, and other systems and
information. Please note that it is possible some of this information
may remain archived after we delete the information from its active
database (see above regarding web logs). We maintain archives for
disaster recovery, legal and other non-marketing purposes.
