AlmanacSports.com Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Depending on what you do when you visit any Web site, you are providing information about your
visit to the site's owners. This includes sites on AlmanacSports.com.
AlmanacSports.com values privacy and thinks you do too, so we want you to have the information
you need to make your own decisions about your personal privacy. When you visit or supply
information to any Web site, we think it's a good idea for you to first understand what that
site's privacy policies are. If the site doesn't tell you, don't hesitate to ask.
The bottom line at AlmanacSports.com is that we use the information that we get from your visit
for internal tracking purposes, to make AlmanacSports.com as useful and interesting to
you as we can, and to respond to your requests for information or other services. Except as
specifically noted below, we do not use your personal information for any other purpose, we
never sell it to any third party, and we never share it with any third party.
Here is more detail on how we handle information we learn from you when you visit
AlmanacSports.com.
Browsing:
When you visit AlmanacSports.com and move from page to page, read pages, or download content
onto your computer, we learn which pages are visited, what is downloaded, the domains our
visitors come from (e.g. 'aol.com,' or 'google.com') and the addresses of sites visited
immediately before coming to our site. However, none of this is associated with you as an
individual. It is measured only in aggregate.
We also use standard web server log files, to help us count visitors and evaluate our site's
technical capacity. We use this information to find out how many people visit AlmanacSports.com,
help us arrange the pages in the most user-friendly way, keep the site browser-friendly, and to
make our pages more useful to our visitors. We record information on site traffic for
advertising purposes, but not information on individual visitors to our site, so no information
about you in particular will be kept or used.
E-mail:
When you send us an e-mail to comment on something or ask us a question, we learn your exact
e-mail address and the thoughts you share.
We use your e-mail address to thank you for your comment and/or reply to your question, and we
will store your communication and our reply in case we correspond further.
AlmanacSports.com requires valid e-mail addresses of our registered users for three reasons.
First, e-mail is the best method for providing your initial login information for message forums
and other areas. Your valid e-mail address proves that you actually exist, and lets us get this
information to you quickly. Second, we use your e-mail address to notify you, if you request, of
other changes to our services. Finally, we utilize our subscriber and registered user e-mail
lists to notify our users of various services offered by AlmanacSports.com, as well as to
publish various regular network promotions, team updates, and news updates.
Advertisers:
AlmanacSports.com utilizes banner ads and other advertisements that are purchased by various
companies. We supply these companies with information on AlmanacSports.com's traffic and other
general demographic information on our readers, but we provide this information in aggregate,
and DO NOT give them any of our subscriber or registration information unless you specifically
opt in for those services. Again, any information you enter in a registration form or other
information is protected by this privacy policy, and we WILL NOT give this information to
anyone.
Third Party Advertising:
We use various third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These
companies may use information about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide
advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to
you. Such usage may include geographical targeting by IP address, as well as other methods.
Third Party Cookies:
In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or
recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
Linking To Other Sites:
Please remember that when you use a link to go from AlmanacSports.com to another web site, the
AlmanacSports.com Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any
other web site, including sites which have a link on AlmanacSports.com, is subject to the rules
and policies of that site. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
AlmanacSports.com takes privacy matters very seriously, and intends to stay at the forefront of
privacy policy and protection matters. If you have any questions, comments, criticisms, or
complaints about AlmanacSports.com's privacy policy or other policies and/or the way they affect
you, please feel free to e-mail us at
