Share a Memory Privacy Policy
Because we gather information about users and Reptile Gardens, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the share a memory contest and use of that information.
Information Reptile Gardens gathers and tracks
Reptile Gardens gathers two types of information about users:
Data that users provide through Reptile Gardens in part with the share a memory contest
Aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views on reptilegardens.com
Such information enables us to create or change sections to make it easier for you and first time visitors to navigate our site. Reptile Gardens will also inform users on traffic generated by visitors to the share a memory section on reptilegardens.com
Does Reptile Gardens share the information it receives?
Information about our users is an important part of our website and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share user information only as described below:
Protection of Reptile Gardens: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law and to enforce or apply our other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Reptile Gardens, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from users for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this privacy notice.
Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How secure is our user information?
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. We work to protect the security of our user information through using usernames and passwords that only users have the information to, and by storing your information on a secure database that only Reptile Gardens has access to. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
