Privacy
PolicyThis privacy
statement is applicable to all web sites under the Spain-Info.com domains.
We
respect your privacy. We don´t sell or give your name, address, email address,
or other personally identifiable information to anyone. Ever.
If
you receive a mailing from us - for example, our newsletter - it will be only
because you (or someone who fooled us into thinking it was you) explicitly opted
in to receive that mailing. If you want to stop receiving mails from us, you can
unsubscribe at any time. At present, each mailing we send you (at present, only
our newsletter) contains opt-out instructions in the body of the mailing, and
we expect to continue the same policy, unless we come up with something that we
feel is even more user friendly.
Spain-Info.com
does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except
when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis.
For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from a contest
or sweepstakes registration, the registration process for subscription sites or
services and in connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g.,
chat and forums), suggestions, voting/polling activities and transactional areas.
Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise
transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at
the time of collection. At such points of collection, the user will have the opportunity
to indicate whether he or she would like to "opt out" of receiving promotional
and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from
Spain-Info.com and/or any third parties. Further, notwithstanding any opt out
of promotional information by the user, Spain-Info.com reserves the right to contact
a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and
other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.
Spain-Info.com
reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics
in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to
inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have
been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Spain-Info.com will provide
only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties. Also, users should
be aware that Spain-Info.com may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription
and/or registration-based services through a Spain-Info.com site. Spain-Info.com
is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users
should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally
identifiable information. Additionally, users should be aware that when they
voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail
address) on the forums or in the chat areas of the Spain-Info.com sites, that
information, along with any substantive information disclosed in the user's communication,
can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited
messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control
of Spain-Info.com.
Users
also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically
collected through the standard operation of Spain-Info.com's internet servers
or through the use of "cookies." "Cookies" are small text
files a web site can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing
access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile
aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising.
Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally,
cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside
the assigning site. Users should be aware that Spain-Info.com cannot control the
use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting
data for Spain-Info.com. If a user does not want information collected through
the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the
user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies
may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery
of information) available on the Spain-Info.com Site.
Upon
request, Spain-Info.com will allow any user to "opt out" of further
promotional contacts at any time. Additionally upon request, Spain-Info.com will
use reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct personal information previously
submitted which the user states is erroneous to the extent such activities will
not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon a user's request, Spain-Info.com
will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and his
or her personal information from its database; however, it may be impossible to
delete a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and
records of deletions. The
foregoing policies are effective as of May 1, 2003. Spain-Info.com reserves the
right to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of
a new privacy statement. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not
intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf
of any party. |
