2. How is your personal information used?

Our goal in the collection of personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our site. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping and many other types of services, some of which are free to you. In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements. By knowing a little about you, StingyHippie.com is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service.

If you register with our site, we may occasionally send email to you with informative messages about services we believe may be of interest to you. We will not send you these mailings if you elect not to receive them. You may cancel your registration and/or request the removal of your personal information from our user records by sending email to jesse_hoffman at yahoo.com.

StingyHippie.com does research on user demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. StingyHippie.com may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.

3. Who does StingyHippie.com share information with?

As a general rule, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties except to the extent necessary to provide you with a service you have requested, or under circumstances required by law. We will disclose your personal information when we believe in good faith that any applicable law, regulation, or legal process requires it, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect or enforce our rights or the rights of another user. We also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services and reach to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties. However, aggregate data is not traceable to you specifically.

To the extent that you are notified of uses of your personal information which are different from those described in this Privacy Statement during your enrollment in any particular service, contest or promotion, the uses of which you are specifically notified will govern that service, sweepstakes, contest or promotion. Please be on the look-out for terms of service and privacy statements applicable to the services for which you sign-up or participate in. Please note, however, that we do not control the privacy policies of our advertisers and other third party sites to which we provide banner ads and links. If you click-through a banner ad or link to a third party site and submit your information to an advertiser, you will be subject to their own privacy policies. We assume no responsibility or liability for these third party policies or the actions of third parties.

StingyHippie.com does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer. If you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to use a particular service or not to participate in certain promotions or contests.

You may cancel your registration to StingyHippie.com and/or request the removal of your personal information from our user records by sending email to jesse_hoffman at yahoo.com.

5. What about kids' personal information?

We feel strongly about protecting the privacy of children. We encourage kids to involve their parents in any interactive activity they participate in online. We will not knowingly collect or use any personal information from children we know to be under the age of 13 without obtaining parental consent.

Under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, no web site operator is permitted to require a child under the age of 13 to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity as a condition of participation. StingyHippie.com abides by this requirement.

6. What else you should know about your online privacy?

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personal information online in a public area, that information may be collected and used by others. We do not control the actions of our visitors and registered users. If you disclose personal information in a forum or any other publicly accessible place within our site, you do so at your own risk and you understand that your submitted information may be collected and used by others to send you unsolicited messages, advertisements, or for other purposes. Please remember that protection of your privacy begins with you. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any password you use to register, and you should always be careful and responsible whenever disclosing information online. Although we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. StingyHippie.com assumes no liability for disclosure of data due to errors in transmission or actions of unauthorized third parties.
