Non-personal and cumulative information, such as that collected passively, is used to improve User experience and to enhance or assist Our marketing efforts.

VI. Special Cases - It is Our Policy not to use or share the personal information about Browsers or Members in ways unrelated to those described in this Policy without also providing You with an opportunity to opt out or to otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, We may disclose personal information about Browsers or Members, or information regarding Your use of the services or websites accessible through Our services, for any reason if, in Our sole discretion, We believe that it is reasonable to do so, including to:

C. Operate Our services properly;

D. Protect Ourselves, Our Members, and the general public.

Private-party litigants will only be cooperated with if We are legally advised to do so. Investigative reporters or journalists will never be cooperated with regarding Your personal information unless We are legally advised to do so;

E. If We have reason to believe that the User is not the owner of a credit card, even if the credit card use is authorized, We will provide information about You to the credit card holder. We will absolutely provide Your information to the credit card holder if We believe that fraud is a possibility. However, We do not require that there be fraud, as it is Our policy that the credit card holder always has an absolute right to access any and all of Your personal information; and

VII. Transmittals from Us

A. We may send You periodic announcements including member newsletters, Site promotions, and details regarding Our existing and new programs.

B. If You provide Your information to Us, use the Site, or subscribe to any of Our services, You will have created a commercial relationship with Us. In having done so, You understand that even unsolicited commercial e-mail sent from Us or Our affiliates is not SPAM as that term is defined under the law.

VIII. User Forums, Message Boards & Internal Messaging - We currently offer Users the ability to publicly comment and correspond via public forums, message boards, internal messages, and other interactive communication features. Any and all information posted to the Site or shared via the Site or its services, should be considered public information and accessible by anyone, unless otherwise stated. We do not, cannot, and will not act to maintain the privacy of any information that You provide in any such manner or medium of communication.

IX. Our Commitment to Data Security - We take various precautionary measures to protect the transmission of all sensitive end-user information. We make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of Our network and systems by storing User data in a private, in-house database with restricted internal administrative access. Nevertheless, We cannot guarantee that Our security measures will prevent third-party ‘hackers’ from illegally obtaining this information. We take all reasonable measures to prevent such breaches of security, but given the resourcefulness of cyber-criminals We are unable to guarantee that Our security is 100% breach-proof. You assume the risk of such breaches to the extent that they occur despite Our reasonable security measures.
