Privacy Statement

We are committed to respecting your privacy in the Internet community. In safeguarding your privacy, we support these four principles* of Internet Privacy:

• Notification The following information may be collected and maintained about you depending on which part(s) of the site you use.: 1)name, 2)password, 3)email address, 4)identifying cookie (see below), and occasionally 5)browsing preferences (colors, etc.) although this if largely obsolete and been disabled. All information is used to provide unique presentations of content and allows you to post messages to the message boards. (Someone who does not log-in cannot post a message; someone else cannot post a message with your identity). Our web server logs all URLs visited on our site. This information is used for site operations only, and is only persistent in cycled server logs (and backup tapes of the system). Basically, we tweak our performance with the way people use the site.
• Choice If you choose not to register, certain features of this site will not be available to you. Sorry, but thats how it is. In particular, the email card and posting of a message will not work.
• Security Collected information is protected by Webjibe's proprietary system. It will never be given away or sold without your permission. In case of WebJibe going out of business, the information will be destroyed. Basically, we protect your email address -- its not like we have your credit card number.
• [deprecated] Access You can review the collected information at any time by selecting your statistics. You can change your information by re-joining, although it is recommended that you shut down your browser and restart to assure that no old information is cached. Now, since there is no changeable information (preferences were disabled due to no one using them), there is no longer a user statistic page.
