III. Information that we collect
Visitors to our SITE and services will have multiple manners of interacting with us. Depending
upon your level of interaction, we will collect different information about you. We collect
information about you directly from you and from third parties, as well as automatically through
your use of our SITE. The type of information collected is as follows:
Members - Members are those users who subscribe to our services will be prompted to
provide their name, their address, their age, their phone number, and any other necessary
billing information.
Posters - Posters are visitors to our SITE who choose to register to post information
in our public forums. We collect your email address and the password you create for your
account when you register, and we also collect information about your posts to our forums.
Any information entered voluntarily by the Poster on one of our forums should be considered
public information or information that is publicly available. If you do not wish for
information to be made public, you should not enter it into your user profile when
registering as a Poster.
All SITE users and visitors - We automatically collect the following information from
all users and visitors to our SITE through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies:
your domain name; your browser type and operating system; web pages you view; links you
click; your IP address; the length of time you visit or use our SITE; and the referring URL,
or the webpage that led you to our SITE. We may combine this information with other
information that we have collected about you, including, where applicable, your user name,
name, and other personal information. Please see the section “Cookies and Other Tracking
Mechanisms” below for more information.
IV. Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
We and our third party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms, including
those designed for mobile applications, to track information about your use of our SITE. We may
combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third
party service providers may do so on our behalf).
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device’s hard
drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it
easier for you to navigate our SITE, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process
or to allow us to track your activities at our SITE and service, including for online
advertising purposes.
Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer,
you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the
toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new
cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable
cookies altogether. Visitors to our SITE who disable cookies will be able to browse certain
areas of the SITE, but some features may not function.
Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a
unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored
on your device’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use
clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our SITE to,
among other things, track the activities of SITE visitors and users, help us manage content,
and compile statistics about SITE usage. We and our third party service providers also use
clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify
when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Third Party Analytics. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google
Analytics, to evaluate usage of our SITE. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate
our SITE. We use these tools to help us improve our services, performance, and user
experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their
services. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please review the Google Policy at
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
You can also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent their data from
being used by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Do-Not-Track. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track”
requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by
disabling cookies); you also may opt-out of targeted advertising by following the
instructions in the Third Party Ad Network section.
Third-Party Ad Networks. We use third parties such as network advertisers to
serve advertisements on third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking
platforms). This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for
products and services in which you might be interested. Third-party ad network
providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies,
JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other tracking
technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising
content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each
third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party
advertisers with information, including personal information, about you.
Users in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you
may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for
information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding
having information used by DAA
companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for
information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding
having information used by NAI members.
Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt
you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does
not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our SITE or on other websites.
You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website
that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured
to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be
effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.

VIII. Public Forums, Member Directories, and Internal Messaging:
Public Forums - Any information posted to a Forum should immediately be considered to
be public information.
Member Directories - Any information provided in a user profile, Member directory, or
other related service should be considered to be public information. We do not, can not, and
will not act to maintain the privacy of any information that you provide in any such forum

Internal Messaging - We provide an internal messaging system for use between Members
of our SITE. Any information that you send via this internal messaging system is not secure
and is not considered to be private information. You should use caution when sending any
personal information over the internal messaging system, and you should not transmit any
information that you would not wish to see disclosed to the general public.
IX. Security of Your Information.
We have implemented reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss,
misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we take
measures, including data encryption, to protect the transmission of sensitive end-user
information. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent
third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information. We take reasonable measures to
prevent such breaches of security, but given the resourcefulness of cyber-criminals we are
unable to guarantee that our security is 100% breach-proof. You assume the risk of such breaches
to the extent that they occur despite our reasonable security measures.
X. How to Access or Modify Your Information.
We offer our Members the opportunity to access or modify information provided during
registration. To access or modify such information, contact our Customer Service Department
at https://www.vultr.com/contact/
