Pri­vacy Pol­icy for society9.com The pri­vacy of our vis­i­tors to society9.com is impor­tant to us. At society9.com, we rec­og­nize that pri­vacy of your per­sonal infor­ma­tion is impor­tant. Here is infor­ma­tion on what types of per­sonal infor­ma­tion we receive and col­lect when you use and visit society9.com, and how we safe­guard your infor­ma­tion. We never sell your per­sonal infor­ma­tion to third par­ties. Log Files 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. Cook­ies and Web Bea­cons 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 society9.com to sup­port our site. 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). Dou­bleClick DART cook­ies 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.
