Privacy Policy

Website Visitors
Like most website operators, The Saloon collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Saloon’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Saloon’s visitors use its website. From time to time, The Saloon may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

The Saloon also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The Saloon does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to The Saloon’s websites choose to interact with The Saloon in ways that require The Saloon to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Saloon gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a forum at The Saloonforums.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with The Saloon are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, The Saloon collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Saloon. The Saloon does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities. The Saloon does not keep a copy of any credit card information once a transaction is complete.

Aggregated Statistics
The Saloon may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, The Saloon may monitor the most popular forums on the The SaloonForums.com site. The Saloon may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The Saloon does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
The Saloon discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on The Saloon’s behalf or to provide services available at The Saloon’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The Saloon’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Saloon will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, The Saloon discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when The Saloon believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Saloon, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an The Saloon website and have supplied your email address, The Saloon may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with The Saloon and our products. We primarily use our various product forums to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The Saloon takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The Saloon uses cookies to help The Saloon identify and track visitors, their usage of The Saloon website, and their website access preferences. The Saloon visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using The Saloon’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of The Saloon’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by The Saloon and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, The Saloon may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in The Saloon’s sole discretion. The Saloon encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a The Saloonforums.com account, you should also check your forum’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
