SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CHILDREN

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT FROM YOU? WHY?

We May Pro­file Users Pseudononymously

We may build a pseudonony­mous pro­file of your online habits, inter­ests and activ­i­ties when you use our Site. This pro­file will not reveal or be linked to your per­sonal iden­tity. We com­pile these pro­files from user nav­i­ga­tion and brows­ing pat­terns, and we use these pro­files for the pur­poses described below (please scroll down to each topic for details). Basi­cally, we don’t know who you are but are work­ing on an aggre­gate pro­file of the stereo­typ­i­cal TNL.net user. This will help us bet­ter serve you.

We May Col­lect Infor­ma­tion Needed to Con­tact You Later:

If we col­lect per­sonal con­tact infor­ma­tion (as described below), you may later have us mod­ify or remove it from our sys­tem, but you may not access the infor­ma­tion your­self. You may choose sim­ply not to pro­vide per­sonal con­tact infor­ma­tion by opting-out at the point of collection.

We May Col­lect Your Email Address.

We may request your email address or other infor­ma­tion needed to con­tact you online. This infor­ma­tion may reveal who you are or be linked to you per­son­ally. We use it to com­plete and sup­port the imme­di­ate activ­ity requested, admin­is­ter and run the Site, cus­tomize and per­son­al­ize con­tent to your request, and to com­ply with any require­ments of law. This infor­ma­tion may be dis­closed only to our staff and to our imme­di­ate agents.

We May Col­lect Other Kinds of Infor­ma­tion from You:

When you use our Site, we may col­lect per­sonal infor­ma­tion about you described below. You may not later be able to access, mod­ify or remove the information.

You May be Prompted for a UserID and Password.

We may ask you to enter a web site ID, pass­word or other iden­ti­fier. This infor­ma­tion will not reveal your iden­tity or be linked to you per­son­ally. We use this infor­ma­tion to com­plete and sup­port the imme­di­ate activ­ity requested, admin­is­ter and run the Site, cus­tomize and per­son­al­ize con­tent to your request, and to com­ply with any require­ments of law. This infor­ma­tion may be dis­closed only to our staff and to our imme­di­ate agents.

We May Col­lect Infor­ma­tion About Your Computer.

When you visit our Site, we may auto­mat­i­cally col­lect infor­ma­tion about your com­puter con­fig­u­ra­tion, such as your browser type, oper­at­ing sys­tem, IP address or ISP domain name. This infor­ma­tion will not reveal your iden­tity or be linked to you per­son­ally. We use this infor­ma­tion to admin­is­ter and run the Site, cus­tomize and per­son­al­ize con­tent to your request, improve the Site for every­one, and to com­ply with any require­ments of law. This infor­ma­tion may be dis­closed only to our staff and to our imme­di­ate agents.

We May Col­lect Nav­i­ga­tion and Click­stream Data.

As you browse our Site, we may gather nav­i­ga­tional and click­stream data that shows what pages are vis­ited and how long var­i­ous fea­tures are used. This infor­ma­tion will not reveal your iden­tity or be linked to you per­son­ally. We use this infor­ma­tion to admin­is­ter and run the Site, cus­tomize and per­son­al­ize con­tent to your request, improve the Site for every­one, build indi­vid­ual pro­files for ongo­ing research, analy­sis and report­ing, and to com­ply with any require­ments of law. This infor­ma­tion may be dis­closed only to our staff and to our imme­di­ate agents.

CERTAIN EXCEPTIONAL DISCLOSURES

We may dis­close your infor­ma­tion if nec­es­sary to pro­tect our legal rights or if the infor­ma­tion relates to actual or threat­ened harm­ful con­duct. Dis­clo­sure may be required by law or if we receive legal process.

WHAT ARE COOKIES? WHY DO WE USE THEM?

Cook­ies are small files stored by your browser in your com­puter when you visit our Site. We use cook­ies to improve our Site and make it eas­ier to use. Cook­ies per­mit us to rec­og­nize users and avoid repet­i­tive requests for the same infor­ma­tion. We also use cook­ies to help build a pseu­do­ny­mous pro­file of your online habits, inter­ests and activ­i­ties as you nav­i­gate our site, which we use for gen­eral research, analy­sis and report­ing. We mostly use “ses­sion cook­ies” that are auto­mat­i­cally deleted after each visit. Cook­ies from our Site can’t be read by other sites. Most browsers will accept cook­ies until you change browser set­tings to refuse them.

HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

We fol­low tech­ni­cal and man­age­ment prac­tices we believe are rea­son­able under the cir­cum­stances to pro­tect the con­fi­den­tial­ity, secu­rity and integrity of infor­ma­tion stored on our sys­tem, but we do not oper­ate a com­pletely secure Site. For exam­ple, we gen­er­ally do not use secure pages to col­lect infor­ma­tion and we gen­er­ally do not store data in encrypted form.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP USER INFORMATION?

We gen­er­ally keep user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we rea­son­ably need it. We may alter this prac­tice accord­ing to chang­ing require­ments. For exam­ple, we may delete some data if needed to free up stor­age space. We may keep other data for longer peri­ods if the law requires it. In addi­tion, infor­ma­tion posted in a pub­lic forum could stay in the pub­lic domain indef­i­nitely. Data man­age­ment requests are admin­is­tered in an orderly man­ner to the extent fea­si­ble and within our direct con­trol. Note: we have greater con­trol over recently col­lected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the sys­tem and archived, it may not be fea­si­ble to accom­mo­date spe­cific requests. In those cases, our gen­eral data reten­tion pol­icy applies.

YOUR CONSENT TO THIS POLICY

By using our Site, you agree to this Pol­icy. This is our entire and exclu­sive Pri­vacy Pol­icy and it super­sedes any ear­lier ver­sion. Our Terms of Ser­vice take prece­dence over any con­flict­ing Pol­icy pro­vi­sion. We may change our Pol­icy by post­ing a new ver­sion on our Site.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

This Site oper­ates AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE, with­out lia­bil­ity of any kind. We are not respon­si­ble for events beyond our direct con­trol. This Pol­icy is gov­erned by New York law, exclud­ing con­flicts of law prin­ci­ples. Any legal actions against us must be com­menced in New York within one year after the claim arose, or be barred.
