OUR PRIVACY POLICY - COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
USING ILSPEED.COM
This site is owned and operated by WrenchList, Inc.
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance
to us. At WrenchList.com, we want to make your experience
online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about
our users, we feel you should fully understand our
policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the
capture and use of that information. This privacy
statement discloses what information we gather and
how we use it.
INFORMATION Ilspeed.com GATHERS AND TRACKS
Ilspeed.com gathers two types of information about
users:
• Information that users provide through optional,
voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions
to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate
in our message boards or forums, to email a friend,
and from participation in polls and surveys:
• Information Ilspeed.com gathers through aggregated
tracking information derived mainly by tallying page
views throughout our sites. This information allows
us to better tailor our content to readers' needs
and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand
the demographics of our audience. Because Ilspeed.com
derives its revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising,
providing such aggregated demographic data is essential
to keeping our service free to users. Under no circumstances
does Ilspeed.com divulge any information about an
individual user to a third party.
Ilspeed.com Gathers User Information In The
Following Processes:
We offer the following free services, which
require some type of voluntary submission of personal
information by users:
Privacy Policy
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users.
Ilspeed.com gathers the email addresses of users who
voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves
from this mailing list by following the link provided
in every newsletter that points users to the subscription
management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters
at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums policy
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must
register separately for these services (both are free
of charge) in order to post messages, although they
needn't register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password,
and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward
a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking
"e-mail this to a friend". The user must
provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the case
of transmission errors and, of course, to let the
recipient know who sent the email. The information
is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can
easily share their opinions with other users and see
what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions
or other responses to polls are aggregated and are
not identifiable to any particular user. Ilspeed.com
may use a system to "tag" users after they
have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular
question. This tag is not correlated with information
about individual users.
5. Surveys
Ilspeed.com may occasionally conduct user surveys
to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes
share the aggregated demographic information in these
surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners.
We never share any of this information about specific
individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly
request personally identifiable information from anyone
under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
Ilspeed.com tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this
information with data about individual users. Ilspeed.com
does break down overall usage statistics according
to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type
by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
Ilspeed.com sometimes tracks and catalogs the search
terms that users enter in our Search function, but
this tracking is never associated with individual
users. We use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie"
in the browser files of your computer. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information although
it will enable us to relate your use of this site
to information that you have specifically and knowingly
provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A
cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. Ilspeed.com uses
cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described
above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time
cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message
with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies
to participate actively in message boards, forums,
polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Ilspeed.com uses any information voluntarily given
by our users to enhance their experience in our network
of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized
elements on the sites or to better prepare future
content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic newsletters
and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys,
message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters
to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on
the newsletter), and occasionally send out special
editions when we think subscribers might be particularly
interested in something we are doing. Ilspeed.com
never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third
parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you. We track search terms entered in
Search function as one of many measures of what interests
our users. But we don't track which terms a particular
user enters.
Ilspeed.com creates aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and
partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise
more effectively, and allows our users to receive
advertisements that are pertinent to their needs.
Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual
users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that
a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose
any information about any individual user except to
comply with applicable law or valid legal process
or to protect the personal safety of our users or
the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Ilspeed.com uses the above-described information to
tailor our content to suit your needs and help our
advertisers better understand our audience's demographics.
This is essential to keeping our service free. We
will not share information about individual users
with any third party, except to comply with applicable
law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Ilspeed.com operates secure data networks protected
by industry standard firewall and password protection
systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically
reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized
individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical.
Such choices include:
• Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
• Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather
any personally identifiable information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection
and use of this information by WrenchList.com. If
we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes on this page so that you are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances we disclose it.
