Privacy PolicyAs part of the normal operation of our services we collect and, in some cases, disclose information about you. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect about you and what may happen to that information. The privacy practices of this notice apply to the http://www.reddawnmedia.com website.
As described below, some of your information is given to third parties and used by us and third parties. By using our website and thus accepting the User Agreement, you expressly give consent to our use and disclosure of your information. This Privacy Policy is subject to the terms and conditions of the RedDawnMedia.com User Agreement.
Children's Privacy
RDM has no desire to, and will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If we discover that a minor has provided personally identifiable information, we will delete that information from our system. RDM encourages parents to instruct their children about safe and responsible use of personal information while using the Internet.
Information Collected
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our services. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience easier and quicker. We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on our site. We use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our users. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address. In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Among other reasons why we use cookies, cookies allow you to enter your user information less frequently during a session. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on our site and you may be required to reenter your user information more frequently during a session. If you choose to post or leave feedback for other users, we will collect such information about you as you choose to disclose. If you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
Use of Information
We use personally identifiable information about you to better communicate with you.
We use your e-mail address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding Newsletter Subscriptions, and communications relevant to your use of the Site. We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular on rare occasions we may evaluate your information to look for users using multiple User IDs or aliases.
Disclosure of Information
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Red Dawn Media, inc. cooperates with law enforcement inquires and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property and other rights. The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed.
Advertisers
We do aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in aggregate to advertisers and for other marketing and promotional purposes.
Red Dawn Media, Inc. User ID
Throughout the Site, you are identified by your User ID. Unless you select a unique User ID, our system automatically sets your User ID as your e-mail address. In this situation, where you are identified on the Site by your User ID, only the first half of you e-mail address (everything before the @) will show. We provide a number of ways to allow other users to find more out about you and your site activities, such as our feature that allows users to quickly see comments you may have posted.
Service Providers
Red Dawn Media, Inc. offers a number of third party services from our site. If you choose to use these optional services, we will, by necessity, provide some of your personally identifiable information to the Service Provider offering such services. You can, of course, avoid having us make such disclosures by choosing not to use these services. Because we do not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to use their services. We do not permit these Suppliers and Other Service Providers to sell your information to third parties.
Third-Party Sites
RDM's site(s) contain links to other Web-sites. RDM is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web-sites.
Red Dawn Media, Inc. Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures
We will share much of our data, including personally identifiable information about you, with our subsidiaries and Joint Ventures that are committed to serving your needs. To the extent that these entities are getting access to your information, they will treat it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other users. We usually require our subsidiaries and joint ventures to follow privacy practices no less protective of all users than our practices described in this document.
How You Can Access and Correct Your User Information
You can correct and change your personally identifiable on the Reddawnmedia.com website through the "edit profile" link at the bottom of many pages.
SPAM Policy
Red Dawn Media, Inc. and our users abhor SPAM. All communications sent out by Red Dawn Media, Inc. affiliates, subsidiaries or joint ventures will include an option to be removed from our email list.
Other Information Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties on our system or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. To the extent that we use third party advertisers, they adhere to their own privacy customs and policies. Since Red Dawn Media, Inc. does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
Security
Although we will use reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your information, transmissions on the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure.
Accordingly, we assume no responsibility or liability for disclosure of any of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access or other causes beyond our reasonable control.
Acceptance of Privacy Policy
If you use the Site, you are accepting the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, and we will have the right to use your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to have your information used in any of the ways described in this Privacy Policy, you must discontinue use of the Site.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Your continued use of the Site after we either personally notify you or generally post such changes on the site will constitute your acceptance of those changes.
RDM welcomes comments and questions on this policy. If for any reason you are not comfortable with this policy or a privacy issue is in question, then please don't hesitate to contact us. Questions regarding this statement should be directed to policyquestions@reddawnmedia.com.
