This site is owned and operated
by Gukundi Multi Plex . Your privacy on the Internet is of
the utmost importance to us. At Gukundi Multi Plex , 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 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.
Definition of the Information
Gukundi Multi Plex gathers and keeps track of.
Gukundi Multi Plex 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 Gukundi Multi Plex
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
Gukundi Multi Plex 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 Gukundi Multi Plex
divulge any information about an individual user to a third
party.
Gukundi Multi Plex Gathers User
Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free
services, which require some type of voluntary submission of
personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters
(Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic
newsletter to users. Gukundi Multi Plex 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
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"
Service
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. Gukundi
Multi Plex 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
Gukundi Multi Plex 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
Gukundi Multi Plex tracks user
traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do
not correlate this information with data about individual
users. Gukundi Multi Plex 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).
Gukundi Multi Plex 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. Gukundi Multi Plex 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
Gukundi Multi Plex 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. Gukundi
Multi Plex 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.
Gukundi Multi Plex 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
Gukundi Multi Plex 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
Gukundi Multi Plex 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
