Privacy
Policy
Welcome
to ObSEUSSED
ObSEUSSed has created this Privacy
Policy in order to set forth the principles governing our information-gathering
and dissemination practices, including but not limited to such activities as
forums, chat rooms, personal profile pages, product reviews, article commentary,
blogs, RSS feeds and newsletters, among other offerings. ObSEUSSed has a strong
commitment to the privacy of our users. Please note that this Privacy Policy
applies only to information collected through ObSEUSSed and not to information
collected offline or to information you may provide to any third-party sites to
which ObSEUSSed may link, except as expressly provided herein.
Information
We Collect
There are two kinds of information
that ObSEUSSed can obtain about you: “Anonymous Information” and “Personally
Identifiable Information.”
“Anonymous Information” consists of non-personally-identifiable data, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address or domain, or information about your usage on ObSEUSSed that is used for administrative purposes only. For example, an IP address is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We may collect our users’ IP addresses for such purposes as to help diagnose problems with our servers and to report aggregate information to our advertisers, corporate affiliates and consultants, and to third parties that perform particular services on our behalf.
We may also use the information linked to IP addresses to ban users who violate our Terms and Conditions of use.
“Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, street address, email address, or telephone number. We collect such information when, for example, you enter a contest, subscribe to our email newsletter, and participate in other interactive online activities such as forums.
When we collect Personally Identifiable Information from you, you will have the opportunity to “opt in” to receive email or other digital communications from us and/or our business partners.
If you have submitted your personal information to ObSEUSSed, you may correct, amend or delete the Personally Identifiable Information maintained on file about you if it is incorrect.
In all cases, we will only use your information as permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy, however, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information to others if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights and property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Use
of “Cookies”
ObSEUSSED uses “cookies” – data that
is transferred from ObSEUSSed to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes.
We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your
password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit ObSEUSSed. Some
of the advertisements appearing on ObSEUSSed are delivered by our third-party
ad network, DoubleClick. In the course of serving advertisements, DoubleClick
may place or recognize a unique “cookie” in your browser’s cache, and may use
Anonymous Information (including date/time of the banner ad displayed, the ad
that was displayed and the IP address of the visitor) about your visits to this
and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services
of interest to you and to collect statistical information. For more information
about DoubleClick’s privacy policy, please click here.
If you would like to “opt out” of having a unique cookie placed on your hard
drive by DoubleClick, please click here or here.
Disclosure
of Information through Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our
business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, and
in so doing, acquire customer information. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the event that a
portion or all of ObSEUSSed’s assets are sold or transferred to a third party,
customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the
transferred business assets.
Third
Party Web Sites
ObSEUSSed contains links to
third-party Web sites not owned or controlled by ObSEUSSed. ObSEUSSed is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party Web
sites. Inclusion of any linked Web site on ObSEUSSed does not imply or express
an approval or endorsement of the linked Web site by us, or of any of the
content, opinions, products or services provided on these Web sites. Even if an
affiliation exists between ObSEUSSed and a third-party Web site, we exercise no
control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own
independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a
Web site via a link from one of our Sites, we encourage you to consult that Web
site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information, and whenever
interacting with any such Web site.
Public
Forums
obSEUSSED may make chat rooms,
forums, blogs, article commenting, and personal profile pages available to
users. Please remember that any such information that you may choose to provide
in these areas becomes accessible to the public, and also becomes the property
of obSEUSSED in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, and we may use such
information in any way that we see fit. Consequently, you should exercise
caution when deciding to disclose your personal information or to upload
material of any kind.
Security
ObSEUSSed has reasonable security
measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information
under our control. Security of information communicated by or to us over the
Internet is of utmost concern to us; however, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that your email, like
most, if not all, unencrypted Internet communications, may potentially be
accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and
permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy,
please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider
confidential. While we strive to protect your personal information, ObSEUSSed cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its
security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your
communication may be discarded or archived.
Policy
Regarding Minors
Children should always ask parents
before providing any personal information online. No information should be
submitted to or posted on ObSEUSSed by any minor (a person under 18 years of
age) without the consent of a parent or guardian. Unless otherwise disclosed
during collection, we do not knowingly provide any Personally Identifiable
Information about minors, regardless of its source, nor is this information
knowingly used by ObSEUSSed for any marketing or promotional purposes. Minors are not eligible to participate in contests.
ObSEUSSed abides by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. In the event that we learn that we have collected information from any child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete this information from our database as quickly as reasonably possible. If you believe that any Site has collected any information about anyone under 13, please contact ObSEUSSed’s Site Administrator via postal mail or email at one of the addresses listed below.
