Privacy on the Internet is a serious matter. The Internet makes the world a smaller place, which is a good thing. However, with the power of the Internet comes the ability for some to misuse that power. Communities OnTheWeb takes your privacy very seriously. All of our interactions with you are done with serious consideration toward protecting any and all information you choose to provide to us.

All of the information we collect from you is done at your discretion. We will never take actions to acquire information without your knowledge and consent.

All of the information we collect from you is done so that we may provide you with services. We will never attempt to collection information that does not directly affect the services we are working to provide you.

Through the normal operation of web sites, information that includes your IP address, the site you were at before you came to our site (unless that information is blocked by your security software and hardware), what browser you are using, and your actions on our site are logged for later analysis. Such activity log data will only be used for the analysis of how services are used on our site so that we may improve those services on a regular basis. This information is analyzed at the aggregate level, and is never used to single your activity out unless requested by court order by an authorized law enforcement agency.

We will collect identifying information from you, including your name, email address, and any other contact information you wish to provide solely so that we may contact you as needed, or so that we may present that information to others ONLY upon your explicit request and consent.

Web pages are normally "stateless", which is to say that they can't remember you as you move from one page to another on the same web site. However, by placing a cookie on your computer, our web site can use that to identify you in order to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, or keep track of any purchases you may have made. Such cookies are called "session" cookies, and are used simply to identify you as you move from page to page.

"Persistent" cookies are cookies placed on your computer for a longer period of time. Such cookies are also used by our site to remember you when you choose to be logged on automatically every time you visit our site.

This site ONLY uses cookies to remember who you are so you don't have to log in each time you access a new page. We never use cookies to track your movement on the web or perform any other actions that could be considering to be spying on you.

Any time we find it necessary to change the terms of our privacy policies, we will post those changes along with a revision date so that you always know our current privacy policies.
