Adunagow
Magazine Online Privacy Policy
We are committed to
protecting the privacy and security of the users of our
sites.
This privacy policy will advise you about how we protect
your personal information, and about what choices you
have concerning our use of such information. Please read
this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy
from time to time in order to address new issues and
reflect changes on our sites. We will post those changes
here so that you will always know what information we
gather, how we might use that information, and whether
we will disclose that information to anyone. Please
refer back to this policy regularly.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy
policy, please send an e-mail to:
info@adunagow.net or contact us at
Legal Department, ADUNAGOW Magazine, PO Box 691728,
Tulsa, OK 74169-1728, Phone: (714) 612-2057.
Scope of Privacy Policy
This policy applies to your use of all of the sites and
services owned or operated by Adunagow Inc., and
affiliated companies, including companies controlled by
Eric ADUNAGOW (collectively "we," "us," or "our"),
including ADUNAGOW Magazine and any other site that we
may own or operate currently or in the future
(collectively, the "Sites"). Unless we say otherwise,
all references to the Sites in this policy include all
such sites. This policy does not apply to your use of
unaffiliated sites to which any of the Sites only link.
This policy covers only information collected on the
Sites and does not cover any information collected
offline by us.
Personal Identification Information
We may request personal identification information from
you (such as your name, street address, telephone
number, credit card number, e-mail address, and/or any
other identifier that permits the physical or online
contacting of you) in connection with your use of, or
participation in, membership registration for ADUNAGOW
Magazine, our contests, sweepstakes, games, surveys,
forums, subscription registrations, content submissions,
chats, bulletin boards, discussion groups, requests for
suggestions, visitors' requests for free products or
services or additional information (including via email
to us), and in connection with other activities,
services or resources we make available on any of our
sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal
identification information from you only if you
voluntarily submit such information to us. Except as
otherwise provided in this policy, we will never
intentionally disclose any personal identification
information about you as an individual user to any third
party without having received your permission.
If you do provide us with personal information for any
of these activities, we may use it to conduct the
activity. We may also use cookie technology (discussed
in detail below) to improve your experience of these
activities, including to remember your preferences,
customize the content and advertisements that you see or
authenticate your access to your personal information.
In addition, in the event your personally identifiable
information is requested as part of our surveys or
polls, such personally identifiable information may be
added to your registration information).
We may also contact you to confirm your registration
and about your account status (for example, when a child
enters a new age group to which different policies
apply), and regarding changes to the Sites' Terms and
Conditions and this Privacy Policy.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal
identification information for internal or external
marketing and promotional purposes. On occasion, for
example, we may send you e-mails to introduce a product
or service that we think might be of interest to the
users of our sites. For us to obtain your permission to
send you this information, we will give you an
opportunity to "opt-in" at the time our request for your
personal information is made. If you do "opt-in," you
may choose to "opt-out" at any time, even after you have
provided personal information, by following the
procedures set forth below at the end of this Privacy
Policy. Please note, however, that under certain
circumstances, if you initially do not choose to
"opt-in," or if you later "opt-out," you may not be
eligible for certain benefits for which a name, e-mail
address, telephone number or other personal
identification information is needed.
We have the following exceptions to these policies: We
will release specific information about you or your
account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or
process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or
court order. We will also release specific information
in special cases, such as if there is an attempted
breach of the security of the Sites, or a physical or
property threat to you or others. We may also transfer
user information, including personally identifiable
information, in connection with a corporate merger,
consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate
division or other fundamental corporate change.
Further, the information you enter when making a
purchase or an online donation will be shared with
payment processors, financial gateways, and your credit
card company to authorize credit card payments. Such
information may also be shared with necessary third
parties solely for the purpose or carrying out the
transactions.
Also, personal information that you submit in connection
with ADUNAGOW Magazine may be
shared with Alkatek, Inc.
Please note that if you give out personal information
online -- for example, on one of our public forums such
as a message board or chat room, folder, chat IM feature
-- that information can be collected and used by third
parties. Although we strive to protect our users'
privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information
you post in these forums. You disclose such information
at your own risk.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of your information and password. You shall be
responsible for all uses of your registration, whether
or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately
notify us of any unauthorized use of your registration
or password.
Non-Personal Identification Information
We collect non-personal identification information
through the use of:
"Cookie" technology: A "cookie" is an element of data
that a web site can send to your browser, which may then
store it on your system.
"IP address tracking": An IP address is a number that is
assigned to your computer when you are on the Internet.
When you request pages from our Sites, our servers log
your IP address.
"Web beacons": A Web beacon, or "clear gif", is a small
graphic image on a webpage or web-based document that a
web site can use to determine information about a user.
Non-personal identification information might include
the browser you use, the type of computer, technical
information about your means of connection to our
site-such as the operating systems and the Internet
service providers utilized, and other similar
information. Our systems may also automatically gather
information about the areas you visit and search terms
you utilize on our sites and about the links you may
select from within our site to other areas of the World
Wide Web or elsewhere online.
We use such information to administer the site and, in
the aggregate, to understand how our users as a group
use the services and resources provided on our sites.
This way we know which areas of our sites are favorites
of our users, which areas need improvement, and what
technologies are being used so that we may continually
improve our sites.
We may share this aggregate statistical information with
our partners, suppliers and other third parties, but we
will not share any individual names, personal
navigational or other personal information. For example,
we may use a third-party advertising company to serve
ads when you visit our Sites. We may share demographic
and preference information with this company to allow
them to display appropriate advertisements for you.
Some of our advertisers may display ads on our sites
which may use cookie technology to (i) identify
non-personal information about our users (such as
connection speed, browser and country of origin) and
(ii) track user behavior within our sites. Advertisers
generally use such information to customize the display
of ads within our sites. We will not permit such
advertisers to collect any personal information from our
users within our sites.
In addition, ADUNAGOW Magazine and/or a third party
research company may set cookies to collect non-personal
identification information regarding your exposure to
certain advertisements on ADUNAGOW Magazine and for
purposes of soliciting you on a voluntary basis in
research efforts.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set
your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when
cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that
some parts of the Sites, such as message boards, may not
function properly.
Privacy of Children
We understand that young people need special safeguards
and privacy protection. We realize that they may not
understand all the provisions of our policy or be able
to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are
made available to our adult users. We strongly urge all
parents to participate in their children's exploration
of the Internet and any online services, and to teach
their children about protecting their personal
information while online.
The Sites are not directed to children under the age of
13. We prohibit registration by children under the age
of 13 for all interactive portions of the Sites
including chats and message boards. We will not
knowingly collect personally identifiable information
from children under 13.
We may, at our discretion, require users under 18 to
obtain the consent of a parent or guardian to view
certain content, and we may limit access to certain
content to users above a specified age. You agree to
abide by any such restrictions, and not to help anyone
avoid these restrictions.
Links To Other Sites
Users will find advertising or other content on our
sites that link to the sites and services of our
partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors
and other third parties. We do not control the contents
or links that appear on these sites. In addition, these
sites or services, including their contents and links,
may be constantly changing. These sites and services may
have their own privacy policies and customer service
policies, or no policy (policies) at all. We encourage
you to review the privacy policies of any third party
sites or services before providing any of them with your
personal information.
Security Policy
Protecting your privacy and your information is a top
priority. We have taken careful measures to secure both
your information and our physical premises. We exercise
great care in providing safe transmission of your
information from your PC to our servers (unless sent by
a means outside of our control, such as e-mail).
Access To/Correction of Information
If you would like to review any personal information we
have retained about you in our database, please send us
an e-mail request for this information at
info@adunagow.net
. To help us address your request, please specify
which information you wish to review. Once you have
reviewed this information, at your request we will
correct personal information about you that you state is
erroneous. To request such a correction, please send an
e-mail to
info@adunagow.net. You should be aware, however, that it is not
always possible to completely remove or modify
information in our databases and servers although we
will always make reasonable efforts to do so upon your
request.
Choice/Opt-Out
If you "opt-in" to receive information from us or
others, you can change your mind later. If at any time
you would like to stop receiving such information or
opt-out of a feature, you may go back to ADUNAGOW
Magazine and change your options. You should be aware,
however, that it is not always possible to completely
remove or modify information in our databases and
servers although we will always make reasonable efforts
to do so upon your request.
Consent to Transfer
The Sites are operated in the United States. If you are
located in the European Union or elsewhere outside of
the United States, please be aware that any information
you provide to us will be transferred to the United
States. By using our Web Site, participating in any of
our services and/or providing us with your information,
you consent to this transfer.
Your Acceptance of These Terms
By using any of the Sites, you signify your acceptance
of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this
policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use
of the Sites following the posting of changes to these
terms will mean that you accept those changes.
