Keepers Of Lists Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Sunday, 14-Dec-2003 22:29:47 EST

The Keepers will track the domains from which people visit the Keepers and analyze this data for trends and statistics. Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, we may use accumulated data for different purposes, including but not limited to marketing analysis, service evaluation and planning.

This site may contain links to other web sites. The Keepers are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of any linked web site.

Currently, the Keepers use personal information as a basis for notifications to users and "opt-in" emails. Email addresses are not displayed by default, on our site, to other users. Users have the option to provide a nickname of their choice which is the sole published evidence of user data on the site.

CHOICE

Cookies: The Keepers employ "cookies" to provide a user with tailored information. A "cookie" is an element of data which a Service or site, when visited by a user, sends to that user's browser which, in turn, may store that element on the user's hard drive or memory. The Keepers use cookies to better serve users who use our Services; any cookies sent by the Keepers will be marked so that they will only be accessible by web sites subject to this Privacy Policy. However, at his or her option and at his or her sole expense and responsibility, any user may block or delete our cookies from his or her hard drive. However, by disabling cookies, certain site features and functionality may no longer work properly, or at all.

"Opt-in" Emails: Users may "opt-in" to receive site notifications, newsletters or other information via email. Users may remove themselves from such services at their discretion. Any email sent to an "opt-in" list will include directions for how a user may remove him or herself from the list, or a URL where the user may find such directions.

General: At no time, unless such disclosure is required by law or a user specifically authorizes such disclosure, will the Keepers disclose individual user personal information that is not publicly available to unrelated third parties.

Surveys and Resulting Information: Subject to the foregoing, the Keepers may conduct surveys or other studies of its user base and usage for marketing and planning purposes. Participation in such surveys is at the user's option; the Keepers do not conduct mandatory surveys.

With respect to information collected from such surveys or studies, and in the event that responses are to be publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey and the Keepers will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users and not personal information identifying any specific individual. Circumstances under which the Keepers would publicly disclose such aggregate information include, but are not limited to, sharing survey results with the site population, providing data to the Keepers' advertisers on user preferences and/or demographics, and publicizing overall usage data in press communications.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where the Keepers advise users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, the Keepers reserve the right to disclose text information provided by any user through such a survey, provided that no personal information identifying that user is disclosed.

ACCESS

With regard to personal information, users can view their data on their personal profile page. When technically feasible, users are permitted to update their personal information directly through the Keepers site. When such updating service is not technically feasible, the Keepers will make reasonable efforts to assist users in updating their personal information.

SECURITY

To secure site integrity, the Keepers employs measures including but not limited to security audits, use of encryption tools and software, and other reasonable security measures and procedures. Internal access to users' private and nonpublic personal information is restricted to site administrators and individuals on a need-to-know basis.

ENFORCEMENT

In the event that the Keepers becomes aware that site security is compromised or user nonpublic information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including but not limited to external security attacks, the Keepers shall take reasonable measures which it deems appropriate, including but not limited to internal investigation and reporting, and notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities.

If the Keepers become aware that a user's personal information provided to the Keepers has been disclosed in a manner not permitted by this Privacy Policy, the Keepers shall make reasonable efforts to notify the affected user, as soon as reasonably possible and as permitted by law, of what information has been disclosed, to the extent that the Keepers know this information.

UPDATES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

To update the privacy policy, we will both post the changed version and its effective date at http://www.keepersoflists.org/privacy.html. Concurrently with any change to the core privacy policy, we will email notice of the change to known users at least 15 days (or such shorter or longer time as mandated by law or any judicial or government body ) in advance.
