This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by The Media Salon Inc., ("The Media Salon"). (The The Media Salon Network includes all Web sites and certain other Internet media properties hyper linked from the The Media Salon corporate Web site.) The following discloses our Privacy Policy.

What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" or IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the The Media Salon Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site.

Our Web servers also collect information about the type of Internet browser you are using, operating system, as well as which of The Media Salon's Web pages you have accessed. This information is used to help our team develop Web sites to display properly for the majority of our visitors. Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

Does The Media Salon use cookies?

Yes, The Media Salon uses cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies are often used to provide you with a customized experience. At no time is any personal information stored within one of our cookies.

What information do you collect when I complete the project planning form, or the contact form on the "Contact Us" page?

The information from these forms is used to help us respond to your request and provide you with information about The Media Salon's products and services. If you are a client of The Media Salon, you may receive email announcements relating to service upgrades or interruptions, which may affect your Web site, should you host with The Media Salon.

Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?

The Media Salon will not sell or otherwise provide the information we collect to outside third parties for the purpose of direct or indirect mass email marketing.

The Media Salon will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on The Media Salon,
• Protect and defend the rights or property of the The Media Salon Network of sites and related properties, or visitors to the The Media Salon Network of sites and related properties,
• Identify persons who may be violating the law, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing the The Media Salon Network or its related properties.

What else should I know about my privacy when online?

The The Media Salon Network may contain hyperlinks to third party Web sites. The Media Salon is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party Web sites or advertisers. The Media Salon does not share any of the individual personal information you provide The Media Salon with the third parties to which The Media Salon links. Please check with those Web sites to determine their privacy policy.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.

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.
