Preserve Calavera Privacy Policy

We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the web pages, newsletters and discussion lists owned and operated by Preserve Calavera. The following discloses our Privacy Policy.

What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from within the Preserve Calavera web site, our web server automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, but do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals. Our web server does not record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

What are cookies?

Currently, Preserve Calavera DOES NOT send or read "cookie" data on your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system. Cookies are commonly used to identify which web sites you have visited or customized, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible. Advertisers commonly use cookies to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement.

You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, you may find some features on some web sites may not work as intended.

What other information do you request?

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters or announcement lists). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy, that means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.

In addition, Preserve Calavera will not send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive. If you choose to supply your postal address in an online form, Preserve Calavera will not disclose that information to third-parties for the purpose of unsolicited mailings.

When you post a message on a Preserve Calavera forum, your name or alias is recorded solely for purposes of maintaining your identity within the forum. This information is not used to monitor your activity within a forum, nor is it used to identify you outside Preserve Calavera in any way.

Whenever Preserve Calavera collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?

Preserve Calavera will disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: 1) Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on Preserve Calavera.2) Protect and defend the rights or property of Preserve Calavera sites, or visitors to Preserve Calavera.3) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties.4) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.

Preserve Calavera uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to us secure. However, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties which receive the information. Preserve Calavera also links to a wide variety of other sites. We are not responsible for their privacy policies or how they treat information about their users.

What else should I know about my privacy when online?

Preserve Calavera web pages contain many links to other web sites. Preserve Calavera is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites. Preserve Calavera does not share any of the individual personal information that you have provided with the sites we link to, although we may share aggregate data with such web sites (such as how many people use our web site).

Please check with those sites to determine their privacy policy.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.

Your Consent To This Agreement

By using our web site, you consent to the collection and use of information by Preserve Calavera as specified above. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
