Privacy Policy

The owner takes your right to privacy seriously and wants you to feel comfortable using this Web site. This Privacy Policy deals with personally identifiable information (referred to as "Data" below) that may be (but almost definitely never will be) collected on the site. This Policy does not apply to other entities that the owner does not own or control or persons that are not its employees, agents or within its control. Please take time to read the Terms of Use above.

1. Collection of Data
   Providing the owner with your information - whatever it may be - is at your option. Please take note that your user name, e-mail address, or other submissions that you make on this site may contain your real name or other personally identifiable information and, as a result, may appear on this site. Like many Web sites, the owner also may automatically receive general information that is contained in the site's server log files, such as your IP address and cookie information.
2. Use of Data
   The owner may use Data to customize and improve your user experience on this site. The owner shall make efforts so that your Data will not be provided to third parties unless (i) provided for otherwise in this Privacy Policy; (ii) The owner obtains your consent, such as when you choose to opt-in or opt-out to the sharing of Data; (iii) a service provided on the site requires the interaction with or is provided by a third party, e.g., an Application Service Provider; (iv) pursuant to legal process or law enforcement; (v) I find that your use of this site violates the Policy, Terms of Service, other usage guidelines or as deemed reasonably necessary by the owner to protect its legal rights and/or property; (vi) or (vi) this site is purchased by a third party whereby that third party will be able to use the Data in the same manner as I can as set forth in this Policy. None of these exceptions are even remotely likely, however. In the event you choose to use links that appear on the site to visit other Web sites, you are advised to read the privacy policies that appear on those sites.
3. Cookies
   Unlike most Web sites, the owner DOES NOT set or use cookies. However, the owner may choose to do so in the future to enhance your user experience, such as retaining your personal settings. But it's highly unlikely at best. Advertisements NEVER appear on the Web site and therefore third parties cannot set and access cookies on your computer.
4. Changes to This Privacy Policy
   The owner may make changes to this Policy from time to time. If it does, the owner shall notify you of substantial changes to this Policy either by posting a prominent announcement on the site and/or by sending a message to the e-mail address you have provided to the owner that is contained within your user settings.
5. No Guarantees
   While this Privacy Policy states the owner's standards for maintenance of Data and the owner shall make efforts to meet them, the owner is not in a position to guarantee these standards. There may be factors beyond the owner's control that may result in disclosure of data. As a consequence, the owner disclaims any warranties or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of Data.
6. Contact Information
   If you have any questions about this Policy or the Web site, please contact the Webmaster.
