Privacy Policy
 

Privacy Policy Statement
This is the web site of the dropouts band.
Our postal address is listed in the contact section of this website.

Privacy Policy
This privacy policy discloses how we collect, protect, use, and share information gathered about you on our web site.

Children
Children under the age of thirteen are not permitted to subscribe to the email newsletter or the forum (chat/conferencing). No other area of the site requires personal information for use. Parents may wish to review the site content for, in their subjective judgment, appropriateness.

Collected Information
Most of our content may be viewed without providing any personally identifiable information. The exceptions are the forum and the email newsletter subscription. 
For these activities the collection of personally identifiable information is necessary. There may be others such as entering a contest or sweepstakes as well.
When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know because you will have to fill out a form. For most activities, we collect only your name and e-mail address. Others, like contests, may ask for birth date, country, and postal code as well.
Our site collects some information about you using technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being collected. For instance, when you come to our site your IP address is collected so that we know where to send information you are requesting. An IP address is often associated with the place from which you enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet service provider), your company, or your university. This information is not personally identifiable. We normally do not combine this type of information with personally identifiable information.
However, we will combine this information with personally identifiable information to identify a visitor in order to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, users, or others.

Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a site sends to your computer while you are viewing the site. These pieces of information allow the site to remember important information that will make your use of that site more useful. Our site only uses cookies for the forum area.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you would not have access to much of the forum features -- and some of the features will not function properly.

Information Use
Our site uses personally identifiable information in a limited number of ways. We use the information to complete transactions related to subscribing to the email newsletter and the forums. We will also use information collected to notify you if you have won a game or contest. We also use the information you provide to send you Dropout promotions and special offers.

 
Information Sharing

We do not share or sell collected information about you to anyone else except for security or legal reasons. We will give out personal information as required by law, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena; to enforce our Terms of Service, or site or game rules; or to protect the safety and security of users and our site.

 
Security

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. Administration takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information. There are some things that you can do to help protect the security of your information as well. For instance, never distribute your password, since this is what is used to access all of your account information. Also remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you finish surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer would not have access to your information. This is especially critical for the forum which uses cookies.

Accessing Account Information

You can access the personally identifiable information you gave us in registering for the forum through the user profile for that feature. There is also a "forgot password" feature for this service on its login page.
Any email you receive from the email newsletter service will provide a link for you to unsubscribe.
You may also contact us via e-mail by clicking "webmaster@thedropoutsband.com" in the footer on any page or send an e-mail directly to the same address. Please include information in the e-mail that will help us identify your account so we can assist you with your inquiry or request.
