Privacy Policy
I. Welcome
CarnalHost.com is proud to be the home of an webmaster community in cyberspace.
This privacy policy applies to the web sites, or networks, owned by CarnalHost.com,
("The CarnalHost Network").
Even though The CarnalHost Network provides a different combination of services,
this policy states the company-wide Privacy Policy with regard to data collection
practices.
By visiting The CarnalHost Network, becoming a registered member of any of the
sites, you hereby provide your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy,
and are aware that our policy may change over time as discussed below. Specifically,
this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect new features, services and options,
and any changes on the use of personal information. Continued use of The
CarnalHost Network and its services will indicate that you agree with any changes.
Your privacy on the Internet is incredibly important to The CarnalHost Network
and should also be to you too! The CarnalHost Network collects certain information
about its visitors and members. The CarnalHost Network feels that you should
fully understand the terms and conditions that deal with that collection and
use of information. This privacy statement discloses what information we collect,
how we use it, and how to correct or change it.
II. Nature of Information Collected
There are two types of information collected by The CarnalHost Network core
site: (A) anonymous and (B) personally identifiable. The CarnalHost Network's
collection practices regarding these two are discussed in greater detail below.
A. Anonymous Information Collection
Anonymous information refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific
individual. As with visiting any web site, The CarnalHost Network collects some
basic information about your computer, including browser type, operating system,
IP address, Internet service provider and geographic location.
B. Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information can be used to directly identify an individual.
The CarnalHost Network requires a limited amount of personal information to
be collected in order to better serve you. This allows CarnalHost to set up
your e-mail account and give you free web page space.
III. Use of Cookies
The CarnalHost Network uses cookies on the join and login pages. A cookie is simply
a small data file sent to your computer by The CarnalHost Network that identifies your
computer as a unique user to a specific web site. It also collects anonymous information
and tracks traffic patterns. A cookie will not provide any personally identifiable
information about you, nor will it read data off of your hard drive, or read cookie
files created by other web sites. The CarnalHost Network uses the information provided
by a cookie for tracking site usage and targeting of advertising. This allows
The CarnalHost Network to customize your visit and save you time during subsequent
visits.
By visiting any of The CarnalHost Network sites and/or registering to become
a member, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The CarnalHost Network places advertising on our sites that originates from third party
advertisers and/or advertising agencies. In some cases, if you click on or view
these ads, the advertiser may assign you a cookie. The CarnalHost Network does not
control these cookies.
IV. Purposes for Which Information is Collected
The CarnalHost Network tracks anonymous information to determine which pages are preferred
based on traffic to those areas. This information is aggregated to provide The
CarnalHost Network with demographic and other statistical data that allows us to assess
how well our web site is performing. This helps us to continue building a better
service for you. The CarnalHost Network does not track what individual users read,
only the performance of each page overall.
The personal information collected from our members, or anyone that submits their
personal information, is also used for the administration of our site; including
corresponding with our members by e-mail when required and setting the content
of web site..
The CarnalHost Network compiles statistical data on the number of visitors who access
the banners and advertisements on our web site so that we can provide marketing
information to our advertisers and sponsors. The CarnalHost Network aggregates this
information and creates statistical reports from the anonymous and demographic
information for our advertisers. This allows our advertisers to advertise more
effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent
to their interests and needs. Also, because The CarnalHost Network derives their revenue
mainly from advertising, providing this data is essential to maintaining our services
as free to users.
IV. Sharing of Information Collected by The CarnalHost Network
The CarnalHost Network shares anonymous data collected from visitors and citizens with
third party advertisers and advertising agencies so that they may target their
advertising and provide better services. The CarnalHost Network does not, however,
disclose any personal information to these third parties without first obtaining
your consent.
The CarnalHost Network will cooperate, as appropriate, with police, judicial and other
law enforcement agencies and disclose personal information and data upon receipt
of the appropriate court orders. The CarnalHost Network will also share personal information
where it appears that, based on sufficient evidence, a visitor or a member is
engaged, through the use of or access to this web site and its services, in illegal
activities. The CarnalHost Network refers citizens to The CarnalHost Network's Terms of
Use. The CarnalHost Network reserves the right in the absence of a court order, to
release information concerning a citizen who The CarnalHost Network believe is in violation
of the guidelines or is using The CarnalHost Network's servers for illegal activities.
V. Collection of Data by Third Parties
This web site contains links to other web sites. When accessing the web sites
of third parties advertising on The CarnalHost Network, including through ad banners
and other links, you will be accessing sites that are not operated or controlled
by The CarnalHost Network. These sites may collect anonymous and personal information
by various methods, including the use of cookies. The privacy policies of these
web sites may not be the same as those of The CarnalHost Network and may not afford
visitors and citizens the same level of protection. Visitors and citizens should
contact these advertisers to verify the privacy policies of these web sites and
their terms of use when accessing them and prior to providing any anonymous or
personal information.
VI. Export of Data
The CarnalHost Network may export information collected from visitors and members to
countries or territories other than the country of residence of the visitors and
citizens (including countries that do not necessarily afford by law the same amount
of protection to personal information as the country of residence). The CarnalHost
Network complies with the laws and/or policies that protect a country's citizens
from any dissemination of exported data to third parties without prior consent.
VII. Chat Rooms and Message Boards
The CarnalHost Network does not monitor their chat rooms or message boards. You are
advised to consult the guidelines in the Chat and Message Board Rules. When engaging
in chat rooms and message boards, you may be invited by third parties to provide
your own personal information. That information could be used by third parties
for purposes that you do not wish they be used, including unsolicited e-mails
and sharing of personal information with other third parties. The CarnalHost Network
strongly suggests that you do not share any of your personal information with
third parties in chat rooms or message boards.
VIII. Storage and Security
Data collected by The CarnalHost Network is stored in secure servers located in Pennsylvania.
The CarnalHost Network has security procedures in place to protect the loss, misuse
or alteration of information under its control. These security measures include
the necessary protection to prevent, as far as possible, access to The CarnalHost Network
databases to parties other than The CarnalHost Network.
IX. Review, Correction of Information and Deactivation of Citizenship
Members and anyone who has submitted personal information may, at any time, review
the information relating to them contained in The CarnalHost Network's databases and
edit any incorrect information.
A member may decide at any time to terminate his/her membership with The CarnalHost
Network. If so, a member should contact The CarnalHost Network using the contact information
provided to request the termination and deletion of any personal information already
collected by The CarnalHost Network. Please be advised that because of backups, and
records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete all information about a member
without some residual information still remaining.
All requests to review, edit, or terminate a citizenship will be processed by
The CarnalHost Network within a reasonable time of their receipt.
X. Protection of Minors
The protection of children's online privacy is very important to The CarnalHost Network.
For that reason, it is our policy not to collect or maintain information at our
web sites from those we actually know are under 18 and no part of our web sites
is structured to attract anyone under 18.
XI. Consent, Opt-In and Opt-Out
Visitors and members of The CarnalHost Network confirm by visiting any of the sites
or the submission of their personal information that they consent to the collection
and processing of personal information, the use of cookies and transfer of personal
data in countries other than their country of residence as detailed above.
Should a member at any time wish to withdraw his/her consent and opt-out of receiving
communications from The CarnalHost Network, the member should inform The CarnalHost Network
by following the procedures set out in the Review, Correction of Information and
