Privacy Policy
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for
BloggersAward.
Information Collection and Use
BloggersAward is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in
ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. BloggersAward collects
information from our users at several different points on our Web site.
Web Site Registration
In order to use some features of this Web site, users must
first complete the registration form. During registration, users are required
to give their contact information (name and e-mail address). This information
is used to contact users about the topics on our site for which they have
expressed interest and to enable users to retrieve lost passwords. It is
optional for the user to provide demographic information (mailing address,
position, technical skill, etc.).
Cookies
BloggersAward uses cookies to remember if users have logged
in while on our site. This allows web site users to avoid logging in more than
once, thereby saving time. Users have the option of disabling or not accepting
cookies by changing the preferences on their browsers*. If users opt to disable
cookies, they will still be able to use our Web site. However, they will not be
able to use some functionality or post to the message boards. No personally
identifiable information (e-mail address, name, etc.) is collected with the
cookies that we set. Accepting cookies while on the BloggersAward site will not
put the user at risk for marketing to other sites.
*Different browsers have different cookie settings. With
Netscape, you can ask the browser to allow, warn you, or completely disable
cookies. Internet Explorer has an additional feature where you can specify
different settings for different security zones. You can choose to allow Web
sites to create cookies for you in your "trusted sites" (like BloggersAward),
to warn you before you create them in your local Intranet zone, and to give you
an option to never allow them in a "restricted zone." See the
"Help" section of your particular browser for more information on
working with cookies.
Web Statistics
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track user movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use
for reporting and sponsorship purposes. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners, sponsors, and donors. This is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person. We only share this information so that
we can secure funding to continue providing this site free of charge.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that BloggersAward does not claim any responsibility for the privacy practices
of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to
information collected by this Web site.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users'
information, and we have security measures in place to protect the loss,
misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
Surveys
Occasionally, our site requests information from users via
Web surveys. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include demographic data (such as zip
code and age), but nothing that can identify any individual person will be
collected. Survey results will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
Send This to a Friend
If users elect to use our "Send This to a Friend"
function, we ask them for the friend's name and e-mail address. BloggersAward
will automatically send friends a one-time e-mail message inviting them to
visit the site. BloggersAward stores this information temporarily for the sole
purpose of sending this one-time message.
Updates
We may also send the user site and service announcement
updates. Members are not able to unsubscribe from service announcements that
contain important information about the service. We communicate with users to
provide requested services and to discuss issues relating to their accounts via
e-mail or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such
as zip code or e-mail address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update, or remove that the personal
data that was provided to us. Users can use the "Edit My Profile"
link from their homepage or they can e-mail our Help Desk to change, correct,
or remove information.
Choice/Opt-in
Our users are given the opportunity to "opt in" to
newsletters and site update e-mail messages. To unsubscribe from mailings,
please see that section above. To unsubscribe from any updates, users can use
the "edit my profile" link from their homepage. To avoid receiving
certain topic updates, the user can simply deselect the topics and select the
"modify" button.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our home page so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a
manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
