of Privacy:
bartdart.com
recognizes the confidentiality of information that may be disclosed by members
in registering or from our Website and we are firmly committed to protecting
your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for this site.
Overview:
The personal, private
information that is provided to bartdart.com by individual members is not
provided to unrelated third parties except in rare cases involving possible
violations of our use policies or legal statutes. We do collect some data,
always with your knowledge and consent, that is used to fulfill orders and
otherwise enhance content to better meet the needs of our users.
Information submitted by you online (such as your name, address, e-mail
address) may be shared with companies with which bartdart.com has a commerce
relationship and through which you reached this site, for marketing purposes. In
such circumstances you will be considered their customer as well. If you object
to such use, you may opt-out by e-mail request. Under no circumstances will
bartdart.com share with any other party your password or other personal
information it may acquire about children, family, etc.
Demographic
information collected through on-site user surveys may be used in aggregate
statistical form to attract potential sponsors.
The specifics of our
Privacy Policy are best described in the answers to the following Frequently
Asked Questions:
Does bartdart.com ask
for personal information?
Yes. bartdart.com may
ask for your name, e-mail address, and other limited personal information when
you sign up as a member and use features such as discussion forums. Most of this
information may be entered at your discretion. We may ask for similar
information at other times, such as when you enter sweepstakes or other
promotions sponsored by bartdart.com and/or our many partners.
How Does bartdart.com
use my personal information?
Our goal is to provide
you with the most personalized, relevant, user-friendly Web experience possible.
The primary use of all your personal information is to efficiently provide you
with relevant information.
In distributing
advertiser or sponsor messages, the advertiser never has access to individual
account information. bartdart.com does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute
the personal information you provide us to these advertisers.
Advertisers simply provide an insertion order for the advertising
message and bartdart.com then displays the ad to appropriate users based on the
criteria specified in the order.
Does bartdart.com
request or require any personal financial information?
No.
Will bartdart.com
disclose any of my personal information to third parties?
bartdart.com will not
disclose any of your personal information, except with your knowledge and
consent as described in this policy or as may be required by law, or to protect
the rights or property of bartdart.com.
Circumstances where limited
personal information may be disclosed are specifically described when the data
is collected, such as in the User Agreement, or in the rules of sweepstakes or
other promotions. So in all cases you control what, if any, information you
disclose.
bartdart.com reserves the right to disclose aggregated user
statistics, such as "45% of our users are female" or "47% of our users earn
$50,000 or more per year" in order to describe our services to prospective
partners, advertisers, and other third parties. Under protection of
confidentiality agreements, bartdart.com may match common user information, such
as name, address and phone number with third party data to avoid duplication and
prevent errors.
Additionally, if you click away from bartdart.com to
visit the site of any third party advertiser or sponsor, you may be asked for
your credit card or other personal information in order to purchase or use
products and services offered. These companies have their own privacy and data
collection practices. bartdart.com has no responsibility or liability for these
independent policies. You should therefore review their privacy policies
carefully if you have concerns about how your information may be used.
Will bartdart.com use
my information for direct mailings?
No.
May I refuse to
provide personal information to bartdart.com or to accept
advertising?
No.
Visitors may access bartdart.com’s free downloads without providing any
personal information. Because the bartdart.com site is partially advertiser
supported, you may not "turn off" the advertising that appears on bartdart.com
pages, but you may opt to be excluded from any e-mail advertising. Does
bartdart.com use "IP Addresses"? IP Addresses: We do use your IP address to
help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP
address is also used to gather broad demographic information such as geographic
distribution of our members. bartdart.com Cookies: Contrary to popular myth,
cookies do not extract private or personal information from your computer’s
memory, but rather, record only information you volunteer to us upon registering
or visiting the site. Cookies are tiny files placed onto the hard drive of your
computer when you register at our Web site that enable our server to recognize
or "remember" who you are each time you return. bartdart.com may make limited
use of cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. For instance they
may be used to retain your personal preferences or save your password so it
doesn’t have to be re-entered each time you login.
Advertiser
Cookies:
bartdart.com does post
third party advertising banners on most Web pages.
These ads may contain cookies used primarily to provide data
to the advertiser about where visitors are coming from. While we do use cookies
in other parts of our Web site as explained above, cookies received with banner
ads may or may not be collected by our company or be under our control.
Are Chat room
dialogues recorded and saved?
Chat is not currently
offered at bartdart.com and will not be in the future. Dialogues will NOT be
collected, stored, or used by the company or others.
What else should I
know about privacy?
Demographic data is
collected at our site at the user's option. This information may include age and
gender and other personal preferences that can be viewed and tabulated for use
in marketing bartdart.com to advertisers and others. In no case is personal
information given or sold to third parties. bartdart.com controls the
distribution of ALL information at the site.
Contests &
Promotions
bartdart.com may
occasionally run contests or other special promotions on our site in which we
ask members or visitors for contact information (like an e-mail address) or
demographic information (like a zip code, age, or income level). We use this
data to send users promotional material about our company or our partners. The
customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when
necessary and may be shared with other companies for promotional purposes, but
only with your prior permission and under the terms and conditions specified
when you take part in the promotion. At any time, users may opt-out of receiving
future mailings of this kind, or simply decline to take part in the promotions.
