The guidelines contained herein apply only to the Typester Web site ("Typester"). Other participating web sites and CKMgroup sites which are linked to/from these sites may have different policies which apply to their collection of data; therefore, please review the privacy policy notices on those sites for details.
While Typester does not generally require that you provide us with personally identifiable information in order to visit and use the Typester sites, please note that in order to participate in some activities, such as to register with Typester in order to ---, it will be necessary for you to provide this information. If you choose not to provide this information, you may not be able to participate in the publishing service.
Collection of Information: Cookies; Personal Information
When you visit Typester's sites or advertisements appearing thereon, or use one or more of Typester Web site services, we may use XML technology or an industry-wide technology called persistent "cookies" which stores certain information on your computer and which will allow us to customize your experience to better match your interests and preferences, or to simply facilitate your signing in to use the services. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. However, if you block or erase cookies, we may not be able to restore any preferences or customization settings you previously specified, and our ability to personalize your online experience would be limited. Please refer to your browser instructions or "help" screen to learn more about these functions.
Additionally, Typester may ask you to provide "personal information", meaning personally identifiable information such as your e-mail address, name, mailing address, telephone number, or credit card number, as well as certain other attributes, to enable you to participate in beta tests, contests, chat rooms, on bulletin boards, to fill out a registration, or to order or subscribe to products and services using these sites. Typester may combine the information you provide on our Web sites with other information we may collect from you or from third parties so that we can more effectively tailor our site, services and offerings to you.
Unless you instruct us otherwise, Typester may contact you to provide you with information about products, services, promotions, contests, or other activities or offerings that may be of interest to you. You can instruct us whether or not you wish to be contacted by checking or removing the check from the box indicating your preference as applicable at the place where your information is collected, or by other means (such as an e-mail request). In addition, with each communication you receive from Typester you will be given the opportunity to indicate if you do not wish to receive future communications.
Typester will not share the personal information you provide on the Typester Web sites with any other parties, except (a) with other affiliated CKMgroup companies (i.e., (i) CKMgroup, SiteHammer, PagesForLess) who may want to contact you about products, services or other offerings that may be of interest to you; (b) with your consent (see paragraph below); (c) as may be required by law or court order; (d) to persons or companies with whom Typester engages to carry out or provide support for the operations of the site or our business; or (e) under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety or property of our users, the public or ourselves.
Additionally and with your consent, Typester may share your personal information with specific third parties outside of the CKMgroup of companies who may want to contact you about products, services or other offerings that may be of interest to you. Your personal information will be treated by those third party companies in accordance with their respective privacy policies. Typester will seek to obtain your consent at the place where the information is collected either by an "opt-out" or "opt-in" method, or by other means. If you consent to receiving communications from any of these third parties, you will need to communicate with them directly if you later decide that you no longer wish to receive their communications or if you wish to amend or change any data you supply to such companies.
Changes, amendments, and/or deletions to your personal information must be given directly (1) to Typester; (2) to each CKMgroup affiliate with which you correspond, and (3) with any third party company for whom you have given us consent to share your personal information, as these changes, amendments and/or deletions will not be exchanged among Typester and other CKMgroup affiliates or third parties.
By using the Typester site(s), you will be deemed to have consented to the disclosure to, and use by, a subsequent owner or operator of a Typester website or service, of any information about you contained in the applicable Typester database, if Typester or one of its companies assigns its rights and obligations regarding any of your information at the time of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of Typester's or such Typester company's assets related to the applicable site or service to a subsequent owner or operator. In the event of such a merger, acquisition, or sale, your continued use of the site or service signifies your agreement to be bound by the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of the site's or service's subsequent owner or operator.
