PRIVACY STATEMENT
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for http://www.flashgeek.com/ and, until its complete transition, the previous site http://home.europa.com/~turoczy/. Because this web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices and have its privacy practices.
If you feel that this company is not abiding by its posted privacy policy, you should contact Rick Turoczy by email at turoczy@europa.com or info@flashgeek.com.
Information
Collection and Use
Rick
Turoczy is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We
will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different
from what is disclosed in this statement. We collect information from
our users at several different points on our website.
Log
Files
We
use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person. We partner with another party to provide specific
services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names,
or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to
provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Rick
Turoczy is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read
the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address.
Surveys
& Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such
as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes
of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Site and
Service Updates
We may send the user site and service announcement updates. We communicate
with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account via email.
Correction/Updating
Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your
zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor
to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data
provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page
or by emailing Rick Turoczy.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where
we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’
mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don’t want any marketing
material, can keep their email address off of our lists. Users who no
longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our
partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to
unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at turoczy@europa.com.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being
collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require
an outside party, or not.
Notification
of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at
any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not
we use their information in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
