COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by Parity Projects.
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Parity Projects,
we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you
should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and
use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information
we gather and how we use it.
Definition of the Information Parity Projects gathers and keeps track
of.
Parity Projects gathers two types of information about users:
· Information that users provide through
optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions on our contact
us page:
· Information Parity Projects gathers
through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views
throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content
to readers' needs and better understand
the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances
does Parity Projects divulge any information about an individual user
to a third party.
USAGE TRACKING
Parity Projects tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites.
However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Parity Projects does
break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser
type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser).
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal
Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this
site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided.
But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk
or read cookie files created by other sites. Parity Projects uses
cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising
system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click
rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your
browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use
this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message
boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Parity Projects uses any information voluntarily given by our users to
enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based
on the interests of our users.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users
like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue
to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search
function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't
track which terms a particular user enters.
Parity Projects creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic
patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. We will not disclose any information
about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are
periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals
have access to the information provided by our customers.
