Privacy Statement for the #!/usr/bin/geek Web Site
Your privacy is important, so we'd like to explain what information we collect when you visit #!/usr/bin/geek, why we collect it and how it is used. We'd also like to explain your options to access and control your information, our data security practices and other matters. This Policy is governed by our Conditions of Use. Special Note About Children This Web Site is not intended for children, especially kids under 13. Children may use this Web Site only with the direct supervision of their parent. We do not seek to collect personal information about children under 13 years of age through this web site. If we discover such information, we will delete it. Thus, we typically retain no information about children. However, if a parent requests a review of information we may have on their child and in the unlikely event we still retain such information and haven't deleted it, then we will honor that request. In order to request a review or deletion of personal information that #!/usr/bin/geek may have collected about your child, please email or write: #!/usr/bin/geek 4 Carmichael St, Suite #111-2060 Essex, VT 05452 When you communicate with #!/usr/bin/geek, we make every effort to ensure your privacy and safety. As an added precaution, however, we still encourage parents to monitor their child's use of the Internet, and to help us protect their privacy by reminding them never to exchange personal information with this or any other web site without the assistance or express written permission of a parent or other responsible adult. What Information Do We Collect From You? Why? We May Profile You Individually. We may build a profile of your online habits, interests and activities when you use our Web Site. This profile is linked to your personal identity. We compile individual profiles from "real world" contact information (e.g., street address, phone/fax), email addresses, data relating to a specific purchase, information about user PCs (e.g., IP address or browser type), data showing usage of interactive features (e.g., search engine queries), demographic information (e.g., gender, marital status, age, income, job), the personal preferences of users (i.e., favorite color, music, books), user content (e.g., message board postings), and we use these profiles for the purposes described below (please scroll down to each topic for details). We May Collect Information Needed to Contact You Later: If we collect personal contact information (as described below), you may later have us modify or remove it from our system, but you may not access the information yourself.
When you use our Web Site, we may collect personal information about you described below. You may later have us modify or remove the information, but you may not access the information yourself.
#!/usr/bin/geek contains hyperlinks to other web sites. #!/usr/bin/geek is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites and companies. #!/usr/bin/geek may have entered into partnership and affiliation agreements with other web sites and companies. We may share aggregate information with our partners and affiliates as disclosed above. We may also transfer visitors to these web sites to provide certain features. #!/usr/bin/geek is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these partners and affiliates web sites. Beware that some of these partners and affiliates may utilize a design that incorporates and utilizes a virtually identical copy of #!/usr/bin/geek's graphics and layout so it may appear that you are still on the #!/usr/bin/geek web site if you didn't notice the different domain name in the browser's address bar. These partners and affiliates may collect information from you. Before collecting personally identifying information from you our partners and affiliates' web sites that utilize this design will disclose that you are no longer on #!/usr/bin/geek and that the web site is not subject to #!/usr/bin/geek's privacy policy. We may use outside companies to display advertisements on our web site. These ads may contain cookies and/or web beacons to collect data in the ad serving process. Some of these ads maybe loaded off of these companies' servers. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies and/or web beacons received with banner ads are collected by our ad companies, and we do not have access to this information. Certain Exceptional Disclosures and Compelled Disclosure We may disclose your information if necessary to protect our legal rights or if we are required by law to disclose the information that you have submitted, we will attempt to provide you with notice (unless we are prohibited) that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address, or by postal mail if you have entered a postal address. If you do not challenge the disclosure request, we may be legally required to turn over your information. What Are Cookies? Why Do We Use Them? Cookies are small files stored by your browser in your computer when you visit our Web Site. We use cookies to improve our Web Site and make it easier to use. Cookies permit us to recognize users and avoid repetitive requests for the same information. We mostly use "session cookies" that are automatically deleted after each visit. Cookies from our Web Site can't be read by other web sites. Most browsers will accept cookies until you change browser settings to refuse them. How Do We Protect Information We Collect? We offer secure web pages to collect certain kinds of user information and we store certain kinds of data in encrypted form. We follow reasonable technical and management practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Web Site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved. How Long Do We Keep User Information? We generally keep user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to changing requirements. For example, we may delete some data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for longer periods if the law requires it. In addition, information posted in a public forum could stay in the public domain indefinitely. Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control. Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies. Your Consent To This Policy By using our Web Site, you agree to this Policy. This is our entire and exclusive Privacy Policy and it supersedes any earlier version. Our Terms of Service take precedence over any conflicting Policy provision. We may change our Policy by posting a new version on our Web Site. Legal Disclaimer This Web Site operates AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE, without liability of any kind. We are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. This Policy is governed by Virginia law, excluding conflicts of law principles. Any legal actions against us must be commenced in Virginia within one year after the claim arose, or be barred.
