Privacy Policy
for pindionline.com
The privacy of our visitors to
pindionline.com is important to us.
At pindionline.com, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is
important. Here is information on what types of personal information we
receive and collect when you use and visit pindionline.com, and how we
safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third
parties.
Log Files
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log
files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol)
address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the
browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the
time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when
you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your
visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on pindionline.com to support our site.
Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons
when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such
as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP
address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases,
whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting
purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for
example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as
showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick,
which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit
a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense
advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your
interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based
on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites
about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when
viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non
personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information
about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone
number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers.
You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by
visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party
cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such
as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to
interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the
inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or
accounts.
Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any
advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next
time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
