The Chad Allen Online privacy policy is to respect the privacy of its users. You
are under no obligation to provide personal information in order to use any of
our services. For certain areas on ChadAllenOnline.com, we collect personal
information only when you provide it to us for example in answering surveys;
entering contests, quizzes and/or sweepstakes; registering to receive
information from us; participating in message boards or chats; purchasing items
via promotions or from us; and taking part in other promotional opportunities.
You may be asked to provide your contact information (such as your name, postal
address, telephone numbers and/or email address), and demographic information
(such as your Zip code, age, or income level). The specific user information
collected on the ChadAllenOnline.com is used only by ChadAllenOnline.com. The
purpose of collecting such specific information is to make your visits easy and
enjoyable and to add additional features to our site that will enhance the
user's experience or to provide you with goods and services.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
Whenever you are on the Internet, a number (an IP address) is automatically
assigned to your computer. This number is identified and logged automatically
whenever you visit our Web sites. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice
on the Internet, and is done automatically by many Web sites. An IP address does
not provide us with any of your personally identifiable information, so although
your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us.
ChadAllenOnline.com collects IP addresses for purposes of system administration,
to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our
site. When guests request pages from the site, our servers log the guests' IP
addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user
remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user
when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our terms of use or
terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others. When
using the services available ChadAllenOnline.com, always makes sure that you are
comfortable with the type of identifiable information displayed in that area.
USE OF COOKIES
Cookies are pieces of information that a Website transfers to an individual's
computer for record-keeping purposes. Cookies, which are an industry standard
used by most Web sites, including ours, can facilitate a user's ongoing access
to and use of a site. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your
preferences while you're at our site. We never save passwords or credit card
information in cookies. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or
files. We may use cookies to make improvements on ChadAllenOnline.com by
learning how and when guests use a site. Many improvements and updates to the
site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This
information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from
cookies to provide services better tailored to our users needs.
ChadAllenOnline.com has two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to
learn a unique user's preferences. Secondly, we use cookies to track user trends
and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the site that
our users find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of a
"cookie," visitors to ChadAllenOnline.com always have the option of disabling
cookies via their browser preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all
cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. You may occasionally get
cookies from our advertisers. ChadAllenOnline.com does not control these
cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard
in the Internet industry.
AGGREGATED INFORMATION
We collect information through our Web site relating to traffic levels on our
Web site - for example, the total number of users visiting particular pages. We
also aggregate demographic information and the results of surveys. This
aggregated information, which does not personally identify you, is helpful to us
for improving the services we offer and for marketing purposes. We may share
aggregated information with our advertisers, business partners, or other
companies.
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES
Users should be aware that when you are on ChadAllenOnline.com, you could be
directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other
sites from ChadAllenOnline.com pages that may take you outside our service. This
includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and partners that may use the Chad
Allen Online logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send
their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.
ChadAllenOnline.com has no responsibility for these cookies. Please keep in mind
that whenever you give out personal information online -- for example, via
message boards or chat -- that information can be collected and used by people
you don't know. While ChadAllenOnline.com strives to protect its user's personal
information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you
disclose online and you do so at your own risk. The ChadAllenOnline.com privacy
policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the
Internet and therefore beyond our control, and is not to be applied in any
manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
SECURITY
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information
associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in
providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information,
ChadAllenOnline.com can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your
own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure
its security on our systems.

By using this site, you signify your assent to The Chad Allen Online Privacy
Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your
continued use of the Chad Allen Online site following the posting of changes to
these terms will mean you accept those changes. |
