We
respect your privacy, and we want you to feel comfortable using the ClumsyCrooks.com
web site. Therefore, we are providing you with this privacy policy so you
can better understand how we collect information about you, what we do with
your information, and who, other than ClumsyCrooks.com may also receive your
information.
We partner with ValueClick to serve ads and/or collect certain information
when you visit our website. ValueClick may use cookies or web beacons to
collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit to this
website in order to help show advertisements on other websites likely to
be more interesting to you. To learn more about this behavioral advertising;
practice or to opt-out of this use of your anonymous information, you can
visit: http://www.valueclickmedia.com/member_privacy.shtml.
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log
files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol)
address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable),
the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox),
the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our
site.
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences
when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once
in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on ClumsyCrooks.com. Some of these
advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they
advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google
through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address,
your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether
you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes
(showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or
showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking
ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick,
which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and
visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense
advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your
interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be
targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have
been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel
advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey).
DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does
NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address,
physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account
numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all
sites using this advertising by visiting: http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx.
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party
cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs
such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able
to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the
inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or
accounts.
Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising
program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you
visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
We reserve the right to change our privacy policy at any time by posting
revisions on the ClumsyCrooks.com web site. This privacy policy is not intended
to, and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf
of any party.
As our subscribers' needs change, we may find it necessary to amend or revise
this Privacy Policy. Any such revisions or additions will be posted on this
page. Please re-visit this page from time to time to make sure that you are
aware of any additions or revisions to this policy. If you have any concern
about privacy, please send a thorough description via e-mail and we try to
resolve it.
