PRIVACY POLICY - COMMITMENT TO
YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by Khalid Al-Khames under the name TattooLettering.net
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Tattoo
Font,
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 our policy and 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.
We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our web site.
These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject
of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services
likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information.

INFORMATION TattooLettering.net GATHERS AND TRACKS
TattooLettering.net gathers two types of information about users:
* Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These
are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate
in our
message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and
surveys:
* Information TattooLettering.net 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 to help our advertisers and
sponsors
better understand the demographics of our audience. Because TattooLettering.net derives
its
revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated
demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no
circumstances does TattooLettering.net divulge any information about an individual user
to a
third party.
TattooLettering.net Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary
submission
of personal information by users:
Privacy Policy Sample
The following is a list of different policies which can be edited to remove the
parts
of the policy that are not needed. You should also add anything to this policy
template that you may have on your site.
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. TattooLettering.net gathers the
email
addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from
this
mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points
users to
the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at
the
time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums policy
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for these
services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although they
needn't
register to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply a
username, password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents
to
someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their
email
address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the
case
of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the
email.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions
with
other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or
other
responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular
user.
TattooLettering.net may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can
vote
only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information
about
individual users.
5. Surveys
TattooLettering.net may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content
to our
audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these
surveys
with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
information
about specific individuals with any third party.
Privacy Policy Template changes
The policy clause about children below is becoming more important as it is
nearly
impossible to tell the age of any visitor. We recommend adding this sample line
to all
your forms that request information.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA),
we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone
under
the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
TattooLettering.net tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However,
we do
not correlate this information with data about individual users. TattooLettering.net
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).
TattooLettering.net sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in
our
Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. 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.
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. TattooLettering.net 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.
Privacy Policy Use
How the information you gather is used if relevent.
USE OF INFORMATION
TattooLettering.net 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.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to
send
out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys,
message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular
schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special
editions
when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are
doing.
TattooLettering.net never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including
advertisers, sponsors or partners.
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.
TattooLettering.net creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns
for
advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise
more
effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent
to
their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an
advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. 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.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
TattooLettering.net uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit
your
needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics.
This is
essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information about
individual
users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
TattooLettering.net operates secure data networks protected by industry standard
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.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
* Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
* Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our
users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by
TattooLettering.net. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on
this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it,
and under what circumstances we disclose it.
