What user information do we gather and how is this information used?

Information collected automatically from users.

We also may ask you to provide certain information in order to take advantage of the services and features of our Website or Scouting-E-Zine. We may use your information to send you valuable information and timely notices of promotions and inspirational newsletters if choose to have them sent to you. Our site will always provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us at any point.

While visiting our Site, you may be able to enter contests, sign up to receive or send electronic newsletters, greetings and other emails or participate in chat rooms, as such features and inspirational opportunities may become available to you. We do not require you to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in our Site's activities. We do, however, use the information collected to distribute newsletters or other content that you may request, to notify contest winners, and to provide whatever other service that you may have authorized in providing the contact information.

Information requested and voluntarily provided.

We may occasionally request background information from you such as your address, occupation, age, gender, hobbies and interests (your demographic information). Sometimes, in connection with signing up for, or subscribing to special offers and features of the Site, we may request background information to be optionally provided along with whatever other information is required. You may choose to provide such information voluntarily, but it is never a condition of access or use. This type of information collected in connection with subscriptions and sign-ups lets us know, in general, who you are and what you like. This, in turn, helps ensure that ads from our advertisers and marketing partners on our Site or delivered to you in emails will be relevant and of some value to you. We may also report your background user information in aggregate statistical fashion to third parties interested in knowing what kind of audience has come to share our inspiration.

We use the information stored in our database (i) for whatever purpose you originally intended, (ii) to pre-populate information fields if you want to sign up for or subscribe to offers and promotions that we present to you in the future, (iii) to keep track of what you have seen in order to present you with new offers or promotions, and (iv) to, present you with advertisements, promotions, or offers that are likely to be of interest to you.

Information collected by advertisements or links.

Since we contract with advertisers and third parties, advertisements may appear in various forms and places on our Site. Advertisers who contract directly with us are required to represent that they comply with our privacy policy with respect to information collected from users through ads displayed on Network sites (see "Information automatically collected" above).

We also use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our Site. These third-party advertising companies employ cookie and 1x1 pixel .gif technology to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for their clients. To do so, these companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our Site. This information can include: date/time of banner ad shown, the banner ad that was shown, your cookie, and the IP address. This information can also be used for online preference marketing purposes.

If you click on an advertisement, animation, banner, button or pop-up window, you may be linking to another page or website where more information is available about the particular product or service being advertised. This privacy policy only governs our Website, our newsletters, our E-Zine, and clicking on links in ads (or anywhere else for that matter) will often take you away from our Website, Newsletter or E-Zine, where information collection and use practices may differ from those employed by us. When linking to sites outside, you should review the privacy policy applicable to that site.

Do we ever disclose your information to anyone?

Yes. We may use user information to advertise to our marketing partners unless you have elected not to receive third-party offers and promotions. We provide our Website and E-Zine to you at no charge, and rely on revenues from advertising and marketing in order to continue to bring these services you. Hopefully, you will find our ads and offers interesting and useful. In any event, it is our policy to allow you to make the choices about the information that we collect from you and the manner in which that information is used. For this reason, you will always have the ability to update, change or delete information about you collected by our Site. To unsubscribe from any mailing list at any time, to opt out of receiving third-party ads, promotions and offers, and to prevent disclosure of your information to third-parties for such purposes, simply reply to the E-Zine with a "REMOVE" in the subject line and you will no longer receive it.

Notwithstanding anything in the paragraph above, we commonly disclose your information to advertisers, marketers and others in aggregate statistical fashion. In other cases, we may allow for the personal identification of individual users for targeted marketing efforts to meet your personal preferences. Furthermore, if you specifically request a mailing or other opt-in feature, or sign up to receive the information or services of a third-party, we will comply with your request or opt-in and provide that information to the third-party.

We may also release your information if required by law, to protect the rights, property or safety of our registered users, or others. Please note that our privacy policy does not cover the web sites or web pages that link to our Site.
