This site is
owned and operated by International Concepts Group, Inc. Your
privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At
Classic 4x4, 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 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.
Information Classic 4x4 Gathers and Tracks
Classic 4x4 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 Classic 4x4 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.
Under no circumstances does
Classic 4x4 divulge any information about an
individual user to a third party.
Classic 4x4 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:
Electronic newsletters (Dispatches) We will offer
a free electronic newsletter to users. Classic 4x4 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.
"E-mail this to a friend" Service 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.
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. Classic 4x4 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.
Surveys Classic 4x4 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.
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.
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. Classic 4x4
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.
Use of Information
Classic 4x4 uses any information voluntarily given
by our users to enhance their experience on our site, 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. Classic 4x4 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.
Sharing of Information
Classic 4x4 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
Classic 4x4 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 Classic 4x4. 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.
