INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site you provide us with two types of information: (1) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us; and (2) Site use information collected by us as you interact with our Site.
When you register with the Site, you may provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.
As with most web servers on the net, when you enter the Site we will automatically record certain information about your visit in a “log” file. This information may include your IP address, and hostname if available; the date and time of your access to the Site; the referring page, if there was one; the pages you visit on our Site; the type of browser and operating system you use (your browser will give this information automatically to all web servers); and the media files you have purchased, downloaded, played, the number of times they have been played, and the last date they were played.
In addition, we store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID and password to make it easier for you to login when you come back to the Site. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.
When you use the Site, you may form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, set up notifications, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.
You post User Content (as defined in the Terms of Use) on the Site at your own risk. Although we may allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.
Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on the Site is a violation of the Terms of Use and should be reported to privacyviolation@mossyoakproperties.com.
USING INFORMATION WE COLLECT
If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the Site, then we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Site.
We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, purchase and download data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the Site and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.
We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, in order to provide you with certain programs or features available to all subscribers to the Site, such as weather information and mapping, we will disclose your user ID (but not your password) to third party providers of such services. We also may use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Site changes or for customer service purposes).
We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; (d) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests; and (e) fulfill royalty reporting requirements.
PROFILE AND POLICY SETTINGS
When you register with the Site, you create your own profile and privacy settings. You will be able to specify whether you want your profile to be public or private. During registration, your profile is set to public. If you specify that you want your profile to be public, then all user information may be viewed by others. This includes but is not limited to your name, email, photos, blogs and videos. If you specify that you want your profile to be private, then only those other Users that you identify as a “friend” will be permitted to view such information.
Even if you have specified that you want your profile to be private, your User name, profile picture thumbnail, description and hunting preferences will be available in search results across the Site network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access your page unless you have designated them as a friend.
INFORMATION WE SHARE WITH OTHERS
We may contract with other companies to provide certain services, including credit card processing, email distribution, market research and promotions management. We provide these companies with only the information they need to perform their services and work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected. These companies are prohibited by contract from using this information for their own marketing purposes or from sharing this information with anyone other than us.
We may provide information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our privacy policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
Data will not be shared or sold to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. We do not share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
We do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the Site.
On rare occasions, we may disclose specific information upon governmental request, in response to a court order, or when required by law to do so. We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud protection or investigation. We do not provide information to these agencies or companies for marketing or commercial purposes.
We also reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of our Site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the Company, our Users or others.
THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING
We allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within our Site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on our Site. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or pixel tags) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.
We do not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks us to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the Site, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.
We may use a third party Web analytics service provider that uses cookies and Web beacons to help us analyze how users use this Site and the effectiveness of our marketing search terms. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this Site (including, without limitation, your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by them. The service provider will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our Site and compiling aggregated reports for us. The information collected by them and provided to us is not personally identifiable.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks for more information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices.
Our privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
CHANGING OR REMOVING INFORMATION
Access and control over most personal information on the Site is readily available through the profile editing tools. Users may modify or remove any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated . Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of the Site.
Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on the Site, however, you generally cannot remove such communications.
SECURITY
Your account is protected by a password you create. We implement features reasonably designed to protect the security of any non-public personal information that is stored in our database, such as your password. We cannot, however, guaranty the security of your non-public personal information. Hacking, software or hardware failure and other unauthorized access to our premises and systems may compromise the security of our members’ information.
Ultimately, your personal information is protected by the password you created when you created your account (or another password you chose after changing a previous password). Please keep this password confidential. No representative of the Company will ever ask you for your password. So if you receive any correspondence purportedly coming from us, please do not supply any password in response to any such request. The confidentiality of your password is yours to protect. You may change it anytime by going to My Account.
If you have any questions about the security of the Site, please contact us.
PRIVACY OF CHILDREN ON OUR SITE
Our Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
POLICY CHANGES
From time to time, we may use customer information for unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change, we will post these changes on our Site. We encourage you to review our privacy policy periodically.
