THE INTERNET, PRIVACY, AND VERIFYHIM.COM
The Internet contains a wealth of information. Unfortunately, this can
include personal data that you might not want everyone to know, such as
your real
name, street address, phone number, or e-mail address. Whenever you go
online, the sites you visit may be gathering this kind of information
without your
knowledge. We want to assure you that this is NOT the case at
VerifyHim.com. We do not engage in any kind of invasion of privacy. In
fact, we go
the extra mile to protect our members anonymity whenever they visit
our site.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big
computers that
"serve up" Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP
address.
The VerifyHim.com collects IP addresses for the purposes of system
administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and
to audit the
use of our site. When guests request pages from VerifyHim.com, our
servers log into their IP addresses. We do not normally link IP
addresses to
anything personally identifiable, which means that while a user's
visitation time can be logged -- the user remains anonymous. However,
we can and will
use IP addresses to identify any user who has failed to comply with our
house rules, terms of service, or to protect customers and others who
use this
site.
Some services within VerifyHim.com, such as certain message boards,
may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name, plus a
message to
the administrators of that board.
THE USE AND FUNCTION OF COOKIES
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an
individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. We never save
passwords or credit
card information in Cookies. Cookies also make Web-surfing easier for
you by saving your preferences. The use of Cookies is an industry
standard --
you'll find them at most major Web sites.
By showing how and when guests use a site, Cookies help us determine
which areas of VerifyHim.com are popular and which are not. Many improvements and
updates to
the site are based on the data gleaned from them, such as the total
number of visitors and pages viewed. We can then use this information
to better
tailor services to our users’ needs.
VerifyHim.com has two primary uses for Cookies: (1) To specify
unique preferences. (For example, this way you don't have to type in
your user name
over and over). (2) We use Cookies to track actions on the site. (For
example, voting in the latest poll). Visitors to VerifyHim.com
always have
the option of disabling Cookies via their browser preferences.
If you wish, you can reset your browser to refuse all Cookies or
indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, some parts of the VerifyHim.com
service will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you
refuse Cookies. For example, without Cookies, you will not be able to
set
personalized news preferences or you may have difficulty completing
shopping transactions, entering contests, or playing games.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
An FYI about links for our members: While you are enjoying
VerifyHim.com, you could be misdirected to other sites that we are not
affiliated with.
For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement or a link to a
provider's website, you will exit VerifyHim.com. This includes
links from
advertisers, center sponsors, and business partners that use
VerifyHim.com's logo
as part of a co-branding agreement. Be for warned: these other sites
may send
their own Cookies to users to collect data or solicit personal
information.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information
online -- via message boards or chat rooms -- it can be collected and
used by people
you don't know. Although VerifyHim.com prides itself in its ability
to protect its members' personal information and privacy, we cannot
guarantee
the security of any information that you choose to disclose.
The VerifyHim.com's privacy policy does not extend to anything inherent
in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond our control to
regulate. It
is not to be misapplied by any member in any manner that is contrary to
applicable law or government regulation.
