PRIVACY
POLICY
Last Updated: 26/08/07
OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com strives to offer its visitors
the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive
and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never
sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you
are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate
and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions of
our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when
you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate
in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and
other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com
also collects information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For
example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider
or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information
from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your
user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting
our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose
not to provide us with information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be
unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked
to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able
to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance
your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising.
We respect your privacy and do not share your information with
anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features
are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this
information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information
about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com
to communicate with you about your registration and customization
preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services
and products offered by OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com and other
topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com
may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited
to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and
other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service for example) may access such information. We will use
your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time
to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy,
merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions,
user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also
disclose your information in response to a court order, at other
times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law,
in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us,
and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate
or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior
to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com expects its partners, advertisers
and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware,
however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers,
affiliates and other content providers accessible through our
site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies
and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you
may link to, or view as part of a frame on a OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com
page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a
third party. Also, through OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com
is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties.
You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third
parties when providing information on a feature or page operated
by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about
you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties
and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine
whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other
features available on our site may offer services operated by
third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com does not control the
use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information,
and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third
parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used
by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities
are beyond the control of OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com and this
policy.

OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com does not knowingly collect or
solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children
under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received
any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy,
we will delete that information immediately. If you believe OfficialGreatDaneGuide.com
