Information Collection and Use: SkyNewswire.com is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. SkyNewswire.com collects information from our users at several different points on our website.

Registration: In order to use parts of this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.
Order: We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide relevant information. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer\'s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies: A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user\'s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs): Our third party traffic analyzing company employs a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to users\' personally identifiable information.
Clear Gifs can work with existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same Web site. That means, for example, that if a person visited \'www.companyX.com\ ', which uses clear gif, the Web site would match the clear gif\'s identifier and the cookie ID number, to show the past online behavior for that computer. This collected information would then be processed for compiling statistical information.
Log Files: We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user\'s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Sharing: We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
If partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Newsletter: If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests: From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend: If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend\'s name and email address. SkyNewswire.com will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. The SkyNewswire.com stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact SkyNewswire.com at unsubscribe@SkyNewswire.com to request the removal of this information from their database. In no way may the "Tell a friend" facilities at SkyNewswire.com be used to send unsolicited emails otherwise called spam.
Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums: Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online -- for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas -- that information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Security: This website takes every precaution to protect our users\' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry -- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just \'surfing\'. To learn more about SSL, follow this link...
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users\' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers\' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to security@SkyNewswire.com.
Supplementation of Information: In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.
Special Offers: We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications.
Site and Service Updates: We also send the user site and service announcement updates. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information: If a user\'s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user\'s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support at contact@SkyNewswire.com
Notification of Changes: If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
Choice/Opt-out: Our users are given the opportunity to \'opt-out\' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for information. For example, our order form has an \'opt-out\' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don\'t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional emails may opt-out of receiving these communications by clicking on unsubscribe link in the received email or by emailing us at unsubscribe@SkyNewswire.com
