You grant Us a perpetual, nonexclusive, world-wide, royalty free, sub-licensable license to any comments or Submissions to the Website, which includes without limitation the right for Us or any third party We designate, to use, copy, transmit, excerpt, publish, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, create derivative works of modify and adapt (including without limitation the right to adapt to streaming, downloading, broadcast, mobile, digital, thumbnail, scanning or other technologies) in any form or media now known or hereinafter developed, any Submission posted by you on or to the Services or any other Web site owned by Us, including any Submission posted on or to the Services through a third party.

Information for those who visit the Web Site is stored in “cookies”.  A cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing.  Cookies are a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information (such as items added in the shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user's browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields such as names, addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers.  Other kinds of cookies perform essential functions like authentication cookies which are commonly used by web servers to know whether the user is logged in or not, and which account they are logged in with. 


The settings or preferences function in browsers allow users to specify whether they wish to allow cookies or tracking data to be enabled or disabled and to delete all cookie information upon closing your browser.  If you need help setting your browser preferences, refer to your browsers help and/or documentation pages.  Choosing to disable cookies may mean that some pages or links on the Web Site may not function or be displayed for you.  


Often times, web sites state that users are preferred to have cookies enabled “to ensure your best experience.”  This is marketing speak for those who wish to have access to your browser data on their web site.  As a matter of personal preference, it is up to all users to decide what information they wish to share or maintain as confidential.  


The personal information processed from Web Site visitors shall not be stored any longer than necessary to complete it’s purpose, conform to a legal requirement, or document an accounting transaction.  It is possible that, at some future date, your information may be combined with that of others in an anonymized fashion for analytic purposes to learn how to improve the Web Site and Services offered.  Once these purposes are fulfilled, all personal information will be securely deleted and no longer available.  



CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT (COPPA)

The US Congress enacted COPPA in 1998 to limit the collection of personally identifiable information from youngsters without their parents’ consent. The Commission’s Rule implementing COPPA, effective since April 2000, requires websites to post a complete privacy policy, notify parents directly about their information collection practices, and get verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from their children – or sharing it with others.  Note that We are not and do not intend to offer Services targeted at  children under thirteen (13) or teenagers under the age of eighteen (18).  


We are prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation in an activity on the child’s disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for the activity. Parents of the right to review, have deleted, and refuse the further collection and use of their children’s personal information.  Our Web Site must obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using or disclosing personal information about a child or before allowing children to open an account or post messages in a chatroom or on a bulletin board.  Parents can revoke their consent at any time and ask that information about their children be deleted from the Web Site’s database.  Further information on COPPA is available at:

THE RIGHTS OF USERS OF THIS WEB SITE 

The United States follows what is referred to as a 'sectoral' approach to data protection legislation. Under this approach, the laws of data protection and privacy rely on a combination of legislation, regulation, and self-regulation rather than governmental interference alone.  


The US has several sector-specific and medium-specific national privacy or data security laws, including laws and regulations that apply to financial institutions, telecommunications companies, personal health information, credit report information, children's information, telemarketing and direct marketing.  


The US has hundreds of privacy and data security among its 50 states and territories, such as requirements for safeguarding data, disposal of data, privacy policies, appropriate use of Social Security numbers and data breach notification. While support is growing for a comprehensive, national privacy law that would supersede and preempt state privacy laws, it is unlikely such a law will be adopted soon.


You as a user of this Web Site, have the right to request access to, erase, modify, restrict, object, and opt-out of our use of your personal information or its use by any current or potential Service support partner at any time.


In the event that this Web Site and it’s Services are hacked and there is a potential breach of personal information, we have developed a response plan that will go into effect.  Elements of the plan include engaging with the company that hosts our Web Site and the developers of the web platform used to create the Web Site and Services to quickly identify and patch any vulnerabilities.  This may also include collaboration with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.  


As a user of this Web Site, you acknowledge and recognize that the personal data and information you voluntarily submit could potentially be accessed or modified by a rogue third party despite our efforts to prevent such an event.  You agree that We are not responsible for any data seized without our permission or knowledge.  In addition, you unequivocally release Us from any and all possible claims arising out of or from the use of your accessed personal information in such unlicensed, unsanctioned, and illegal manner.
