PRIVACY STATEMENT
This site is owned and operated
by DigsMagazine.com and Mighty Bold Mark! Design. We at DigsMagazine.com
are committed to protecting our users’ privacy. As such, we believe in
informing our users about the information we collect and how we use it.
Information Collection and Use
DigsMagazine.com is the sole owner of the information collected on
DigsMagazine.com. We use the information collected to tailor our content
to suit your needs and to help our advertisers gain a better sense of
our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service
free. DigsMagazine.com 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.
We collect the following voluntary information:
1. Mailing List: The email addresses submitted to our opt-in mailing
list are for the purposes of receiving information from and pertaining
to DigsMagazine.com only, and will not be shared with any third party.
Subscribers may, of course, opt-out at any time, by simply sending an
email to mailinglist@digsmagazine.com with the subject heading
UNSUNSCRIBE. Please make certain to send the opt-out request from the
same email address with which you originally subscribed.
2. Boards: Users of the site's Boards must register in order to post
messages, although registration is not necessary to visit the boards.
During registration the user is required to supply a username, password,
and email address. Information supplied during Boards registration will
not be shared with any third party.
3. Polls: DigsMagazine.com occasionally offers interactive polls to
users so that users can voice their opinions and see what the
DigsMagazine.com audience thinks about various topics. Answers collected
through the Polls are NOT identifiable to any particular user.
Cookies
Certain sections of our website may place a small text file called a
cookie on your computer. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s
computer that contains information about you, the user. All personal
information tied to a cookie is information that you have knowingly
provided to DigsMagazine.com. Cookies can improve the quality of your
visit by "remembering" your past visits (for example, keeping
track of which topics you’ve already perused on the boards). A cookie
cannot read data off your hard disk or read any other cookie files that
may reside on your computer.
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. However, you do need cookies to participate
actively in certain sections of our site, including message boards and
polls.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these
cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for
advertising.
User Tracking
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. The
information that we gather from log files includes: internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, platform type,
date/time stamp, and number of requests for specific files. These
statistics are used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user
movements in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are NOT linked to personally
identifiable information, except in the case of the boards, where each
post by a registered user has its corresponding IP address logged. This
information is stored for the purposes of administering the Boards only,
and will not be used in any other manner or shared with any third party.
You can browse our site without entering any personal information and
therefore remain anonymous during your visit.
Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by several
third-party advertising networks. Information about a user’s visit to
this site, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but not user
name, address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to
users on this site. Please visit the links below for more information
about specific privacy policies:

DigsMagazine.com also offers commercial services with outside
companies such as amazon.com and other
respected retailers and service providers. Your only contact with these
companies will occur if you click on a banner or link and are redirected
to their site (which we hope you'll do to
keep DigsMagazine.com free and minimize our need for advertising). You
will be subject to their individual privacy policies once leaving our
site.
Changes
Any changes that may occur in our privacy policy will be posted here
in this privacy statement, which we urge you to review from time to time
to ensure you stay informed.
