Privacy Statement
Our Commitment to Privacy Though the purpose of our site may be to have fun, we take your privacy seriously. The purpose of this document is to outline our privacy poilcy, or more specifically, to explain what information we collect and how it is used in the operation of the site. What Information We Collect When you register for the site, you provide us with a username, password, and e-mail address. In registering and using the site, you also provide us with one or more top five lists. We classify one of these items, your e-mail address, as personally-identifiable information and take steps to protect it. In addition, our servers collect anonymous usage data. How Information is Used All information that is not considered personally-identifiable (i.e.,usernames, lists, anonymous data) is used to power the services offered by our site, including but not limited to the forums, the user pages, and the comparison engine. Your username and password are used for authentication purposes, to ensure that your data and lists are not arbitrarily changed. Your e-mail address is kept in our database of users, but is only used for important site communications. Reasons for contacting you may include a forgotten password or updates to this statement. Your e-mail address will not be provided to any other party. We also use non-identifying and aggregate information to improve your user experience and to share with our advertisers. For instance, when someone views a top fives page, it is recorded as a "hit". The number of hits that any particular page has received will be available to the user who created the page. We also keep track of which users get the most hits and then compile them into a list that is displayed on our main page. However, we do not keep track of which users visit which pages. When e-mail or contact us, we may retain your e-mail address and personal information for a short period of time so that we may respond to your request. It will not be provided to any other party. We will never use or share personally-identifiable information in ways unrealted to the ones described above. Data Security All information that is entered or gathered is stored securely. Things like your password are encrypted so that they cannot be viewed by anyone, including our technical staff. We regularly audit our security policies so as to provide a stable, safe, and private user experience. How to Access or Correct Your Information You can access all of your personally-identifiable information that we collect on our site by logging in to your control panel. In the "Options" section, you have the ability to view and modify this information. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
