The following Privacy Policy governs
thespanishindex.com's online information collection practices. Specifically, it
outlines the types of information that thespanishindex.com gathers about you
while you are using the thespanishindex.com website (the "Service"), and the
ways in which thespanishindex.com uses this information. This Privacy Policy,
including our children's privacy statement, does not apply to any information
you may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means
(for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the
mail).
Please read this Privacy Policy
carefully. By visiting the thespanishindex.com website, you agree that your use
of our Service, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy
Policy and our Terms of Service Because the Web is an evolving medium, we may
need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case
we'll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the
Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing
to use the thespanishindex.com website after we post any such changes, you
accept the Privacy Policy as modified.
How We
Collect and Use Information
We may collect and
store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online
while using the Service (e.g., while on the thespanishindex.com site or in
responding via email to a feature provided on the thespanishindex.com
site).
We also collect and store information
that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Service. For
example, we may collect information about your computer's connection to the
Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our
web pages to you and to measure traffic on the thespanishindex.com site. We
also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a "cookie" to
enhance your experience on the thespanishindex.com website. Cookies are small
files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping
purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the thespanishindex.com, cookies
help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique browsers visit us, and
track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter
your preferences on certain areas of the thespanishindex.com site where you may
have entered preference information before. thespanishindex.com also may use
web beacons (also known as "transparent GIFs") to access cookies and to count
users who visit the thespanishindex.com site or open thespanishindex.com 's
HTML-formatted email messages.
Thespanishindex.com uses the information it collects from you
while you are using the Service in a variety of ways, including using the
information to customize features and advertising that appear on the Service.
We also may provide your information to third parties, such as service
providers, contractors, and advertisers, for a variety of purposes. Unless you
inform us otherwise, thespanishindex.com reserves the right to use, and to
disclose to third parties, all of the information collected from and about you
while you are using the Service in any way and for any purpose, such as to
enable thespanishindex.com or a third party to provide you with information
about products and services. If you do not wish your information to be used for
these purposes, you must send a letter to the Online Privacy Coordinator whose
address is listed at the end of this Privacy Policy requesting to be taken off
any lists of information that may be used for these purposes or that may be
given or sold to third-party vendors.
Please
keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information
available for viewing by third parties online - for example on message boards,
web logs, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be seen,
collected and used by others besides thespanishindex.com. Thespanishindex.com
cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such
information.
Some of our third-party
advertisers and ad servers that place and present advertising on the Service
also may collect information from you via cookies, web beacons or similar
technologies. These third-party advertisers and ad servers may use the
information they collect to help present their advertisements, to help measure
and research the advertisements' effectiveness, or for other purposes. The use
and collection of your information by these third-party advertisers and ad
servers is governed by the relevant third-party's privacy policy and is not
covered by our Privacy Policy. Indeed, the privacy policies of these
third-party advertisers and ad servers may be different from ours. If you have
any concerns about a third party's use of cookies or use of your information,
you should visit that party's website and review its Privacy
Policy.
Thespanishindex.com also includes
links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by
third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access
another website or purchase third-party products or services through the
Service, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy
of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products
or services.
We also make some content,
products and services available through our Service through cooperative
relationships with third-party providers, where the brands of our provider
partner appear on the Service in connection with such content, products and/or
services. We may share with our provider partner any information you provide,
or that is collected, in the course of visiting any pages that are made
available in cooperation with our provider partner. In some cases, the provider
partner may collect information from you directly, in which cases the privacy
policy of our provider partner may apply to the provider partner's use of your
information. The privacy policy of our provider partners may differ from ours.
If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of one of our provider
partners, you should contact the provider partner directly for more
information.
Be aware that we may occasionally
release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply
with law, to enforce our Terms of Service agreement, or to protect the rights,
property or safety of users of our Services, the public, or
thespanishindex.com. Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or
sell various assets. In the unlikely event that we, some or all of our assets,
or one or more of our websites is acquired by another company, information
about our users may be among the transferred assets.
