Your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to respecting the privacy rights of users of BeeCaveBee.com. We have designed this policy to help you understand how we collect and use the information you decide to share, so that you make informed decisions when using the Site.

Information We Collect
As with most websites, we collect the following two types of information:

1. Personally identifiable information that is voluntarily provided by visitors when they register (such as name, address or email).
2. Non-personally identifiable information (that is, information that is automatically collected, such as the type of Web browser, Internet Protocol (IP) address, etc., that does not by itself identify a specific individual).

We only collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us. If you do not want this information to be collected by us, please do not submit it.

Account Registration
In order to become a registered member of BeeCaveBee.com, you must register and create an account. As you create an account, you are required to provide a username and password as well as provide an email address.

Cookies & Log Files
Like most websites, BeeCaveBee.com uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer allowing BeeCaveBee.com to recognize you as a user when you return to the Site using the same computer and web browser. Like the information you enter at registration or in your profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on the website. One type of cookie, a "persistent" cookie, is set once you've registered or signed in to your BeeCaveBee.com account. The next time you visit the Site, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing member. Another type of cookie, called a "session" cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to BeeCaveBee.com. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your Web browser.

The cookies we use do not store any personally identifiable information about you. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies. Please be aware, though, that if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use some of the interactive features offered on the Site.

Again, like most websites you visit on the Web, as part of the communication standards on the Internet we use log files on our servers. These log files store various non-personally identifiable data regarding your visit with us, such as the IP address, information regarding your browser, internet service provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, platform type, and number and identification of clicks. This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve BeeCaveBee.com.com services. Additionally, this information may also be used to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer the BeeCaveBee.com services, or to display the content according to your preferences. This and other anonymous information collected may also be shared with business partners and advertisers on an aggregate and anonymous basis. The linkage between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is never shared with Third Parties without your permission or except when required by law.

BeeCaveBee.com NEVER provides personally identifiable information to an advertiser or Third Party without your express permission.

Contests and Survey
From time to time, we may offer our registered users and other visitors the option to participate in contests or surveys. If you would like to participate, we may ask you for contact information, preferences, or other information. Such information is used for purposes such as to conduct research, improve our offerings and services, or award prizes. Our contests may have separate contest rules and we identify how the information you supply will be used in each case.

Children
No one under age 18 is eligible to register to the Site. BeeCaveBee.com does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us.

Communications
The Site will communicate with you through email and notices posted on the BeeCaveBee.com website. Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails from BeeCaveBee.com related to the proper functioning of your account, such as email notices alerting you when your registration is confirmed. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your registration at any time. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account.

BeeCaveBee.com may also send you a regular newsletter if you elect to receive it. Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option to unsubscribe to the newsletter each time it is sent.

Sharing Information
BeeCaveBee.com will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to a Third Party for marketing purposes without your express permission.

It is possible that we may need to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law) or respond to a court order, subpoena, search warrant or other legal process served on BeeCaveBee.com, its parent company, subsidiaries or affiliates.

We may also share non-personally identifiable information in aggregated form with advertisers and business affiliates for marketing purposes.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. BeeCaveBee.com takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information on a secured server behind a firewall. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to the Site and you do so at your own risk.
