PRIVACY POLICY - COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Mycbshack.com, we want to make your
experience online satisfying and safe.
Because
we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions
surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we
use it.
Mycbshack.com gathers two types of information about users:
- Information that users provide
through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate
in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
- Information Mycbshack.com
gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information
allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the
demographics of our audience. Because Mycbshack.com derives its revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing
such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no circumstances does Mycbshack.com
divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
Mycbshack.com Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require
some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
- Electronic newsletters policy
(Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Mycbshack.com gathers the email addresses of users
who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter
that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
- Message boards/forums policy
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must
register separately for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although they needn't register
to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
- "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well
as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient
know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
- Polling
We
may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks
about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user.
Mycbshack.com may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular
question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
- Surveys
Mycbshack.com
may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic
information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information
about specific individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
Mycbshack.com tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with
data about individual users. Mycbshack.com does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name,
browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's
browser).
Mycbshack.com sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this
tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users
like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files
of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of
this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can
contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by
other sites. Mycbshack.com uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system delivers
a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn
you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned
on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Mycbshack.com uses any information voluntarily
given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements
on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information
that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys,
message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and
occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing.
Mycbshack.com never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or
partners.
When
we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps
us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of
what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
