MyCodessplace Privacy Policy

General
We gather user information to provide you with a customized experience on our
site. Your user information helps us tailor the content, services, goods and
advertising to your current and future needs. For this reason, we may ask you
to register or to provide personal information when you post comments, enter
a contest, order products, subscribe to a newsletter and/or visit certain areas
of our site. If you choose not to register you may not have access to areas
that require personal identification.
If you register with our site or purchase products from us, from time to time
we may e-mail you with messages about our services or third party products and
services we believe may be of interest to you, such as new products, features,
services, special offers and updated information. The newsletters may contain
code that enables our database to track your usage of the newsletters, including
whether the e-mail was opened and/or what links (if any) were clicked. We will
combine that information with other information we have about you and may use
that information to improve your site experience and/or provide customized e-mail
communications to you. In addition, if you register with our site or purchase
products you may automatically receive e-mails confirming your registration
and/or purchase and providing you with necessary information relating to the
access or use of your registration and/or purchase. With the exception of the
e-mails described in the preceding sentence which are necessary to provide customer
support and deliver products and services to you, you may opt-out of receiving
e-mail from us as described below.
Use of Information
When you register, we ask for your e-mail address, a unique nickname selected
by you and other information. Once you are a registered user you can update
your profile and may be able to provide additional preferential information.
We may use an order form for users to request information, products and services.
For that order form, we collect a user's contact information (e-mail address)
and necessary financial information to process the order (i.e. credit card number).
Contact information from the order (including e-mail) may be used to deliver
digital products and information. We may use third parties to accept and process
orders and credit card purchases for merchandise and products, including software.
We may occasionally present a special contest or promotion that is sponsored
by another company. To qualify for entry in that contest or promotion, we may
ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that information
with the sponsor(s) or with others, we will provide a statement to that effect
in the contest or promotion terms.
All communication on the Internet takes place between pairs of IP Addresses.
Our Web servers will log the IP address that any connection is made from. We
may use these IP addresses to help diagnose technical problems or prevent abuse
of our systems or other site users. Your IP address may also be used to gather
aggregate demographic data and target advertisements accordingly.

rights management systems (“DRMS? which may allow for communication between
your software and the third party and utilize security features (e.g., preventing
distribution of or access to the applications in the event of unauthorized use).

shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort relating to the
use of the DRMS or your dealings with such third parties. The applications may
also contain DRMS produced by us which allow for communication between the applications

Web logs automatically record anything a web server sees, which may include
e-mail addresses you enter into a form or pages viewed by a user at a particular
IP address.
Information Sharing
We will not share your personally identifiable information with third parties,
aside from entities that perform services for us, such as fulfilling orders
or processing payment, that either are bound to comply with our privacy policy
or have privacy policies that protect your information unless you have “opted-in?to
such sharing. If you have previously opted-in to such sharing under a prior
privacy policy version, you are still considered to have opted-in under this
privacy policy. As stated, and whether or not you have opted-in, we may use
third parties to accept and process orders for merchandise and products, including
software, and such third parties may get access to your personal information
for the purposes of providing services or products to you on our behalf. In
addition, if you opt-out, we may share that information with third parties who
send e-mails on our behalf so that they do not e-mail you.

with the law or with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our
rights or property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect someone's safety.
We may request demographic information from you (for example, your age, education
level or household income) from time to time. We will not share that information
in a manner that identifies you as an individual with any other entity, unless
we let you know that at the time of collection or we have your permission. When
we share demographic information with third parties, we will give them aggregate
information only.

may be part of the assets transferred to the acquiring party.

information to us or you may update your profile. You may also choose to Opt-Out
from certain types of e-mail by following the unsubscribe instructions that

that we do not e-mail them with respect to those types of e-mails, and we may

that they do not e-mail you; this information may also be contained in web logs

Children Under 13
Our site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We assume products
purchased through credit card means are purchased by adults. We respect the
privacy of parents and children and are committed to complying with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). On those areas of the sites that ask
for age, we do not collect personal information from individuals who identify
themselves as under the age of 13 except in those limited circumstances where
we believe that such collection is permitted under COPPA.
If a parent believes that his or her child has submitted personal information
to we, he or she can contact us via e-mail or postal mail as listed below. We
will promptly delete the information upon learning that it relates to a child
under the age of 13. Please note that it is possible some of this information
may remain archived in web logs and back-up archives after we delete the information
from its active database (see above regarding web logs, and below regarding
archived information).
We believe that parents should supervise their children's online activities
and consider using parental control tools available from online services and
software manufacturers that help provide a kid-friendly online environment.
These tools can also prevent children from otherwise disclosing online their
name, address and other personal information without parental permission.
Other
We have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration
of the information under our control. These include a firewall to prevent unauthorized
access to our systems and maintenance of registration information in a separate
database. Although we will exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission
of information between your computer and our servers, we cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet and we accept
no liability for any unintentional disclosure. We will protect the transmission
of credit card information through industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer)
encryption.

public functions and any posting by you is considered public information available
to other users. Any posting is governed by our Terms of Use.

other information that might be publicly available to other users.
If a user elects to use our site for informing a friend about our site or particular
features or content, we ask them for the friend's name and e-mail address. We
will automatically send the friend a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit
our site. We store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
e-mail.
