Spiderweb Message Boards Privacy Statement Publication Date: 10-2-2001 Spiderweb Software requires users who want to participate in our message boards to register. In order to register, you must provide us with a username (which does not have to be your real name), password and a valid e-mail address. This allows us to protect our community from abusive postings and provides a verifiable point of contact should legal questions arise. At any time, you have the ability to keep your e-mail address hidden from other users by selecting that option within your user profile. When you register, you have the option of providing some additional information such as occupation, interests, and homepage URL. This optional information is made available to other bulletin or message board users to foster a sense of community. If you have any concerns about providing this information, simply leave the fields blank and your registration will still be processed. Cookies The Spiderweb Boards use browser cookies. These cookies are small sections of code that our server sends to your browser which it can then store on your hard drive. If you choose to accept these cookies, they enable us to retain your username and password so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit. These cookies do not collect, store or maintain your private, personally identifiable information. You do not have to accept these cookies to visit or use our boards, and you can choose to refuse our cookie, or delete our cookie from your hard drive. Use and Disclosure of Your Information We will NEVER sell or give your private information to anyone else, for any reason. We have complete respect for your privacy. However, Spiderweb reserves the right to disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of our company, its employees, customers, or the public. All reasonable care is taken by our staff in handling your personal information to ensure its security both offline and online. Changing or Updating Personal Information If you would like to update or change your user profile on our message boards, login into the board and select My Profile in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Postings on Message Boards It is important for you to remain aware that when you provide personal information (e.g., last name, address, phone number) in a posting on any message board, that information is available to any other person or user having access and use of that message board, and may be used by someone in a manner unintended by you. For that reason, we discourage you from offering any personally identifying information within a posting to any message board. Comments or questions about the boards or this statement can be emailed to spidweb(AT) spiderwebsoftware.com. Back to Spiderweb's Message Boards
