This
site is owned and operated by Uplink Web Design.
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance
to us. At Uplink Web Design, we want to make your
experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about
our users, we feel you should fully understand the
terms and conditions surrounding the capture and
use of that information. This privacy statement
discloses what information we gather and how we
use it.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly
request personally identifiable information from
anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental
consent.
Usage tracking
Uplink Web Design tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this
information with data about individual users. Uplink
Web Design does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type,
and MIME type by reading this information from the
browser string (information contained in every user's
browser).
Uplink Web Design sometimes tracks and catalogs
the search terms that users enter in our Search
function, but this tracking is never associated
with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like
and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but
rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for
you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in
the browser files of your computer. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information although
it will enable us to relate your use of this site
to information that you have specifically and knowingly
provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself.
A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or
read
cookie files created by other sites. Uplink Web
Design uses cookies to track user traffic patterns
(as described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you've set your browser to warn you
before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You do not need to have
cookies turned on to use this site.
Use of Information
Uplink Web Design uses any information voluntarily
given by our users to enhance their experience in
our network of sites, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the sites or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of
our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic articles.
We send out articles to subscribers on a regular
schedule (depending on the article), and occasionally
send out special editions when we think subscribers
might be particularly interested in something we
are doing. Uplink Web Design NEVER shares mailing
lists with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas, we do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to
build a better service for you. We track search
terms entered in Search function as one of many
measures of what interests our users. But we don't
track which terms a particular user enters.
Information Sharing
Uplink Web Design will not share information about
individual users with any third party, except to
comply with applicable law or valid legal process
or to protect the personal safety of our users or
the public.
Opt-Out Policy
We give users options wherever necessary and practical.
Such choices include:
· Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
· Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need to
gather any personally identifiable information from our
users.
Your Consent
By using this site, you consent to the collection
and use of this information by Uplink Web Design.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will
post those changes on this page so that you are
always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose
it.
