18 Grey Media LLC ("18 GREY" or "we" or "us") respects the privacy of its users and recognizes the importance of protecting the personal information you provide to us over the Internet. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use your information, and your choices. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. In addition, please note that this privacy policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in chat rooms, bulletin boards, or similar web pages. You should keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information Online - for example, via message boards or chat rooms - that information could be collected and used by people that you do not know. 18 GREY bears no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information users may disclose on the bulletin boards, chat areas or other public forums, if any, on this Web Site.
YOUR USER INFORMATION
All personal information, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally (like your name or email address), collected at www.kingstonhigh.com (the "Web Site") by 18 GREY will be utilized primarily for internal purposes with the goal of enhancing the user's Online experience. In addition, 18 GREY COLLECTS INFORMATION IN SEVERAL WAYS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: (1) Generally, you may browse our Web Site without providing any personal information about yourself. However, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information when you register with us or at other times, such as if you choose to participate in or receive information, via electronic mail or otherwise, about games, contests, sweepstakes, promotional events and/or any other event that takes place on the Web Site. For example, 18 GREY may ask for information such as your name, electronic mail address, birth date, gender, zip code and country, as well as information regarding your interests, hobbies and education, or other information about you. You can always choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in many of 18 GREY's features. (2) When you visit this Web Site, our web servers automatically collect web site usage information, which is anonymous information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our web site, including the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays. The information we collect also includes anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as your browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior to visiting our Web Site, and your IP address. (3) 18 GREY collects information on its users' demographics, interests and behavior from the information you provide to us, as well as from 18 GREY's server log files, surveys, cookies and IP addresses. 18 GREY does this to better understand and serve its users. This collected information/research is generally compiled and analyzed on an aggregated, anonymous basis. (4) For reasons such as improving personalization of 18 GREY's service, 18 GREY might combine the personal information you provide on our Web Site with other information about you that is available to us. (5) 18 GREY also sometimes collects updated delivery and address information from its shippers or other sources so that 18 GREY can correct its records and deliver or communicate with you more easily. 18 GREY DOES NOT KNOWINGLY COLLECT INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER FIVE (5) YEARS OF AGE: 18 GREY does not knowingly collect information from children under FIVE (5) years of age. If you are under FIVE (5) years of age, do not send any information about yourself to 18 GREY, such as your name, address and/or electronic mail address. In the event that 18 GREY discovers that a child under the age of 8 has provided 18 GREY with his or her personal information, 18 GREY will immediately delete that child's personal information from its system. This Web Site is not a Web site directed to children under the age of 5. 18 GREY alerts parents that this Web Site features content exploring mature themes not appropriate for children under 5. 18 GREY encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to supervise their children's activities on 18 GREY's web sites. 18 GREY suggests that parents consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that may help ensure a child friendly online environment and help direct their children to suitable, child-oriented web sites. Because 18 GREY does not knowingly collect any information from children under 8, 18 GREY does not knowingly provide any personally identifying information from its users under 5 years of age, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever. 18 GREY also does not knowingly allow users under 5 years of age to be listed in any member directory or to be sent or to receive third-party offers or direct marketing communications from 18 GREY. Now at this point I really feel this privacy notice is a bit excessive but if you're willing to keep reading...well, maybe it's not just me who's being excessive here.
