Your privacy is very important to us. We do not sell or rent your personal
information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit
consent. Please read this privacy policy to learn more about the ways in which
we use and protect your personal information. We want you to fully understand
our privacy practices and therefore, in addition to this Privacy Policy, we have
created Privacy Principles to help you fully evaluate our practices and answer privacy
questions.
We are committed to protecting your privacy.
If you have additional questions, you may send email to privacy@cosmoracing.com.
Privacy Principles
Because your privacy is important to us, we operate by the following six
principles.
- We will explicitly ask when we need information that personally identifies you or allows
us to contact you ("Personal Information").
-
We use your Personal Information to operate our site and services and to inform you of new
features, services, and products.
- If we intend to use Personal Information for a Secondary Use, we will provide you with
instructions on how to decline this service.
- Although our site is not directed at children will not use Personal Information for a
Secondary Use without obtaining the consent of a parent or guardian. When possible, we
will provide e-mail notice to parents that children have provided Personal Information to
us.
- We may disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply
with legal process served on us or the site management firm; (b) protect and defend our
rights or property, the site management firm and (c) act under exigent circumstances to
protect the personal safety of our employees, employees of the Site Management firm, or the public.
- If at any time you believe that we have not adhered to these principles, please notify us
by e-mail at privacy@cosmoracing.com and we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine
and correct the problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will users know which privacy statement
applies to their Personal Information?
Pages throughout the site display a "Privacy Statement" link, which
identifies the statement applying to the site. Users may click on the link at any time to
read the applicable statement.
How do you collect Personal
Information?
Personal Information is collected by specifically requesting it from you. Generally
this occurs when you register at a site, request a service, or enter an online contest, or
buy a product or service.
What about Cookies?
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to your computer's hard
disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies can make the Web more useful by storing
information about your preferences on a particular site, such as your preferred settings.
The use of cookies is an industry standard, and many major Web sites use them to provide
useful features for their customers. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally
identify users, although they do identify a user's computer. Most browsers are initially
set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies. However, you
may not be able to take full advantage of a Web site if you do so.
Does that mean you sell my Personal
Information to other companies?
No, we do not sell customer lists.
What about companies that partner with you
to provide the site's products or services?
We may have several necessary service partners who assist in providing the service
or product associated with the site. As part of the operations of the site, these
companies may have access to your Personal Information. These companies may provide
routine services, such as credit card processing, or may provide essential elements of the
site.
What about the Privacy of children?
Safeguarding the Personal Information of children is extremely important. We do not
market specifically to children, and where users have indicated they are younger than 18,
we will collect the minimum amount of Personal Information necessary to the operation of
the service. We will also send follow up mail to the user's e-mail address instructing
them to seek parental permission for their use of the site. A child's Personal Information
will be used for the operation of the service but it will not be used for Secondary Uses
without a parent's permission.
Do you collect other forms of information about your users?
In addition to the use of Personal Information to operate your site, we may also
gather anonymous information, which may be used by us or shared with third parties. This
is information which does not personally identify you, but which may be helpful for
marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer. Generally this information is
collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "Cookies"
"IP addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.
Is my Personal Information secure from
others using your site?
Personal Information collected by us is stored in secure operating environments
that are not available to the public. In many instances, such as in the case of credit
card numbers, the Personal Information is encrypted before you conduct your transaction
and is not stored on a web server computer.
How else might someone learn of my Personal Information while
visiting your site?
In addition to directly providing information to us, you might also provide
Personal Information through chat sessions, e-mail exchanges, photo gallery or bulletin board use made
available to you. The Statement of Privacy does not cover this type of transfer of your
Personal Information. You should always be careful when distributing your Personal
Information in this manner.
