Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.
For each visitor to our Web pages, our Web server automatically recognizes no information regarding the domain or email address.
We collect and use personal information volunteered by the customer solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.
Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.
We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
We will make readily available to customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.
Parents are advised that the web provides no means for a web site to determine the age of any person using the web.
We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Although www.SmashingWebsites.com recommends that parents monitor the web usage of their children, we are committed to doing our part to protect the online privacy of children. If you have concerns about any collected information from your child, contact us at the above email or postal address.
With respect to cookies: We use cookies to store visitors preferences, alert visitors to new areas that we think might be of interest to them when they return to our site, and customize Web page content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends.

With respect to Ad Servers: To try and bring you offers that are of interest to you, we may have relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads on our Web pages. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, and may collect public information such as your internet service provider and your IP address. This is generally used for localization purposes (showing Kansas real estate ads to someone in Kansas, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
Update (March 13, 2009):
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (which does not include your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our Web site to notify you of these changes and we will use for these new purposes only data collected from the time of the policy change forward. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should review the policy page periodically.
Upon request we provide site visitors with access to their unique identifier information (e.g., username, customer number or password), and contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number) that we maintain about them.
Consumers can access this information by contacting us at the above address and requesting their information. Upon request visitors can have inaccuracies corrected in unique identifiers.
