Privacy Policies - www.Onancock.Biz
The following summarizes how we will handle information we learn about you
from your visit to our
website. The information we learn depends upon what you do when visiting our
site. Our Home Page and the Terms of Use linked thereon provide that by
accessing, retrieving files from or sending files, form submissions or E-mail to
and using our site you agree to be bound by those Terms of Use as a legal
agreement.
We outsource virtually all our operations, support and functions to various
third parties. Although we
seek to disclose the policies and contractual and legal obligations of these
providers, we disclaim any
and all liability for failure to accurately disclose practices of those third
parties (or of their
employees or contractors) which may vary from the policies and procedures
described herein. Under our
Terms of Use, you waive any liability on the part of the owner of this website for
actions or omissions of third parties providing software, hardware or other
support or services to us. Nonetheless, if you become aware of actions of such
parties which you believe are not consistent with the Privacy Policy set forth
herein, please notify us and we will endeavor to correct the situation.
Via software provided by our web host provider and via Google
Analytics we collect
certain information automatically when you visit any of our site web pages. This
includes the placement of "cookies" upon your computer so that we may track your
visits to and activity upon our site based upon your originating IP address.
Generally, your originating IP address does not disclose your personal identity,
but merely identifies you as a user from your internet service provider or, for
visitors accessing thru a business account, the internet domain of your
business. Although we do not seek to solicit or otherwise obtain further
identifying information, it is possible that this information, coupled with
access to the IP address logs of your internet service provider could permit the
future individual identification of you as a user. Other information will only
be collected if you voluntarily submit that information by entry or registration
and submittal or by accepting a "cookie" designed to gather and track certain
information. Information collected may be aggregated and used for our purposes,
however, unless expressly otherwise noted on part of our site at this time it is
our policy that individual user information is not resold or otherwise made
available to any unaffiliated third parties (other than consultants working for us on the
development of this site) for commercial or other purposes without your express
consent and acknowledgment of that possible use. We will, however, make
information, available to law enforcement personal or whenever required by order
or subpoena issued by a court or other regulatory or governmental body. Although
we (1) disclaim any obligation to contest the validity of any such request order
or subpoena, and (2) assume no liability for failure or inability to do so or to
notify you, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you by E-mail (assuming we
have your E-mail address), and if you wish to contest such request order or
subpoena on bona fide grounds through valid use of judicial process through
legal counsel acceptable to us, we will generally cooperate in such efforts.
If you visit our site to read or download information, we utilize software
programs provided by our web
server hosting services provider to collect and store the following information
about you: the name of
the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are
connecting from an America Online account, or gmu.edu if you are connecting from
George Mason University's domain); the date and time you access our site; pages
within our site which you access, and, if applicable, the Internet address of
the website from which you linked directly to our site. In addition, for repeat
users of certain features on our site, the program offers you the option of
having a "cookie" placed upon your own computer so that our computers will
recognize you on repeat visits without need for re-entry
of a password. If you share your computer with others, you may wish to consider
whether or not you
desire to use this feature as it could permit those other users to make posting
under your name.
We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the
different sections of our site,
to gauge the level of interest among visitors in various topics, and to help us
make our site more useful
to visitors.
You may personally identify yourself by registering, sending an E-mail or by
registering for and
participating in one of our features. You may provide other personal information
by completing an online form and submitting that form to us. We permit
registration from any valid email address, and you may chose to use an anonymous
email address or hide your name. Users are cautioned to be careful not to pose
queries or responses which could disclose confidential information about and
company or business, particularly insider information regarding publicly traded
concerns.
To the extent you provide identifying information by posting to or participating
in our forum bulletin boards,
visible information posted by you will be generally available to other visitors
to our site. As a
registered user, you are given certain options about information that you chose
to make publicly
available. Our site Terms of Use provide that by using our site you (and others)
agree not to exploit or
utilize information or E-mail addresses posted by others for commercial use. If
you become aware of a
violation of this term by any third party, please advise us.
Unfortunately, some users may not honor this policy, and it is possible that
providing an E-mail address
may result in "spammers" obtaining and using your E-mail address.
Our policies and terms of use are subject to change from time to time and you
should check this page
periodically for revisions.
