This site is owned and operated by www.tradegur.us. Your privacy on the
Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At www.tradegur.us, we want
to make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel
you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions
surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy
statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION www.tradegur.us GATHERS AND TRACKS
www.tradegur.us gathers two types of information about users:
* Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic
newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a
friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
* Information www.tradegur.us gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites.
This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers'
needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the
demographics of our audience. Because www.tradegur.us derives its
revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing such
aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to
users. Under no circumstances does www.tradegur.us divulge any
information about an individual user to a third party.
www.tradegur.us Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
Privacy Policy Sample
The following is a list of different policies which can be edited to
remove the parts of the policy that are not needed. You should also add
anything to this policy template that you may have on your site.
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. www.tradegur.us
gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users
may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link
provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription
management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the
time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums policy
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately
for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages,
although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The
user must provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their
opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about
important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated
and are not identifiable to any particular user. www.tradegur.us may
use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote
only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with
information about individual users.
5. Surveys
www.tradegur.us may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target
our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated
demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers
and partners. We never share any of this information about specific
individuals with any third party.
Privacy Policy Template changes
The policy clause about children below is becoming more important as it
is nearly impossible to tell the age of any visitor. We recommend
adding this sample line to all your forms that request information.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental
consent.
Usage tracking
www.tradegur.us tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our
sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about
individual users. www.tradegur.us does break down overall usage
statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME
type by reading this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser).
www.tradegur.us sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that
users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never
associated with individual users. We use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but
rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to
build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the
only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. www.tradegur.us uses cookies to
track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising
system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and
click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've
set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive
the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate
actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
Privacy Policy Use
How the information you gather is used if relevent.
USE OF INFORMATION
www.tradegur.us uses any information voluntarily given by our users to
enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide
interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare
future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in
order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to
participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the
newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing.
www.tradegur.us never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third
parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
We will not sell or disclose your member's name
and email information to any third party. We have taken a strong stance
against the practice of sending
unsolicited commercial emails "spamming". Please send these emails only
to people who you know would be interested in this business. If someone
asks you not to send these emails, please comply.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites
users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many
measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a
particular user enters.
www.tradegur.us creates aggregate reports on user demographics and
traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows
our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to
receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because we
don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or
sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will
not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
www.tradegur.us uses the above-described information to tailor our
content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand
our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service
free. We will not share information about individual users with any
third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
www.tradegur.us operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and
privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
* Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
* Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this
information by www.tradegur.us. 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.
Anti-Spam Policy
This sets forth our policy with regard to the use of “Spam”
marketing techniques in connection with Internet Marketing. In the
event that we deem you to be in violation of these policies, we shall
immediately revoke your membership rights and close any active account.
We have a strict policy against spamming. We forbid the sending of
unsolicited mass Emails or unsolicited Emails of any kind in connection
with the marketing of our programs, products and services.
We reserve the right to terminate your account and participation in
our programs “for cause” if we deem you to be in violation of our
anti-spamming policies. We also reserve the right to suspend your
account and participation pending review upon receipt of any complaint
or other evidence that you may be engaging in any spamming activity.
We consider spamming to be any activity whereby you directly or
indirectly transmit email messages to any email address that has not
solicited such email and does not consent to such transmission. We also
consider spamming to constitute posting advertisements in newsgroups in
violation of the terms of participation in such newsgroup, that are off
topic, or in newsgroups that do not specifically permit advertisements.
We also consider it spamming when advertisements are placed on message
boards or in chat rooms when they are not permitted by the terms of
participation in such message boards and chat rooms.
If you are “spammed” by anyone regarding our products, services, web
site, or any other matters, please report this activity to spam at
tradegur.us.
