Track-this.info respects your right to protect your online privacy. Please read our entire Privacy Policy to learn what information we collect from you and how we use that information.

General: We do not spam, nor do we have any malicious intent for any information that you provide to us during registration or use of this site.

Information that we collect and how we use it

Your e-mail address: To enable us to establish and maintain your account, and to transmit messages sent to you in conjunction with that account. Your e-mail address will also be used to verify that your e-mail address is valid, and may be used to send important information about Track-this.info to you, such as a notification of new services or tips to help maximize your use and enjoyment of this site or its services. We will never send spam to you, nor we will tolerate anyone else doing it.

Your name: To enable us to personalize messages that are sent to you and by you, comments and information posted by you, and to greet you by name when you visit certain pages in this site. If you do not want your name used in any way, do not include it when you register, or use a nickname instead.

Standard log information about your computer, such as your type of browser, IP (Internet Protocol) address, and host: We may use it to optimize how our site displays on your computer. We may also use this information in the general administration of our web site and its policies as specified in the Terms of Service.

Cookie information: A cookie is a text file stored on your computer's hard drive that can be used to identify your computer and enable us to remember you and what you previously entered in a form when you return to our site and move from page to page within it. Internet users are often very concerned about the privacy and security implications of cookies (*see below), so we use cookies only for technical reasons (explained in the section below on Session information) and as a convenience for you so that our server can, for example, recognize your computer to save you the bother of re-entering your e-mail address and password when you use our site in the future. If you do not want our server to automatically recognize your computer, do not check the box next to "Remember me." We do not use cookies to collect private information from any user. In summary, we use cookies only as a convenience to you to help save you time, and to give your browser the "memory" it needs to use this site. We do not use cookie data in any malicious way.

*According to an independent source (PC World magazine, April 2006, page 140), a cookie is generally not a threat to your privacy because it typically exchanges information only with the site that placed it.

Session information: Session information is somewhat similar to that in cookies, but it is stored on the server instead of your computer, which enhances its security (reference: PHP for the World Wide Web by Larry Ullman, Second Edition, page 261). However, the session number (which permits our server to differentiate your computer from others accessing our site as you and others move from page to page within it) is stored on your computer as a cookie, so you must enable cookies in your browser to use this site. Importantly, the session number contains no personal information about you.

Why are cookies and session information necessary? If you are familiar with web programming, you know that the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP, which you will likely recognize as the prefix http://) is a stateless technology that does not remember data as a user moves from page to page in a multi-page web site. Programmers routinely use session information to overcome this limitation and transmit data from page to page. We do not use session data in any malicious way.

We will NOT intentionally rent, sell, share, trade, or otherwise transfer any of this information about you to unaffiliated third parties without your consent unless that information is necessary to prevent an emergency, to prevent or investigate activities that are illegal or suspected to be illegal, to protect our rights or the rights of a third party, or if we are compelled to do so in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal action. We will transfer this information if Track-this.info is acquired by or merged with another company, but we will notify you before your information is transferred if the new privacy policy differs from this one in the way it protects your personal information.

We may sometimes post links to other web sites on Track-this.info. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to our Privacy Policy: If we significantly change how we treat your personal information, we will notify you by e-mail or we will place a prominent notice on this site.
