Privacy Policies
KAMRR, Inc.
This site is owned by KAMRR, Inc ("KAM"). and operated by KAMIND IT, Inc. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost
importance to us. At KAM, we want to make your experience online satisfying and
safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you
should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use
of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather
and how we use it.
INFORMATION KAM GATHERS AND TRACKS
KAM gathers two types of information about users:
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These
are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate
in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in
polls and surveys:
Information KAM gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly
by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to
better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and
sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Because KAM derives
its revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated
demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no
circumstances does KAM divulge any information about an individual user to a
third party.
KAM Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary
submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. KAM gathers the email
addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from
this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points
users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the
newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register for these services
(both are free of charge) in order to read/post messages. Posting messages is
restricted to customers and validated users. During registration the user is
required to supply a username, password, and a valid email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents
to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide
their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used
only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient
know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions
with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues.
Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to
any particular user. KAM may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted,
so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated
with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
KAM may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our
audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these
surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
information about specific individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
(COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information
from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
KAM tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about individual users. KAM does break down
overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and
MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser).
KAM sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our
Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We
use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and
don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us
continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it
will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have
specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off
your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. KAM uses cookies to
track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system
delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your
browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this
site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards,
forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
KAM uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their
experience in our network of sites, and software products, whether to provide
interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future
content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to
send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls,
surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a
regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out
special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in
something we are doing. KAM never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third
parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users
like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms
entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users.
But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
KAM creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for
advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise
more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are
pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of
individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user
clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about any individual user
except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the
personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
KAM uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your
needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics.
This is essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information
about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable
law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
SECURITY
KAM operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and
password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically
reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access
to the information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our
users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by
KAM. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on
this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
