INFORMATION NEVR SURRENDER GATHERS AND TRACKS
NEVR SURRENDER gathers general types of information about users including:
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions of various sorts to receive our electronic newsletters, promote or purchase our products, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, to enter contests (lawfully and not in violation of applicable gaming laws) and from participation in polls and surveys, and other submissions:
Information NEVR SURRENDER gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to visitors' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Because NEVR SURRENDER may depend on revenue from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping our service to users.
NEVR SURRENDER Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We may offer an electronic newsletter to users. NEVR SURRENDER may gather 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 may also unsubscribe to the newsletters by notifying NEVR SURRENDER in writing.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for these services 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 at a minimum for security purposes.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users may be able to 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 in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email.
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 may be aggregated and may or may not be identifiable to any particular user. NEVR SURRENDER may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag may be correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
NEVR SURRENDER may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We may sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners.
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. NEVR SURRENDER intends and strives to comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding access to our websites by minors.
Usage tracking
NEVR SURRENDER may track user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites as allowed by law. NEVR SURRENDER may 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).
NEVR SURRENDER may sometimes track and catalog the search terms which users enter in our Search function. We may use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. 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 should 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. NEVR SURRENDER may use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system may deliver a 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 should receive the warning message with each cookie. You may not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you may need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
NEVR SURRENDER may use 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 may 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 may send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and may occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing.
We may use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We may track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users.
NEVR SURRENDER may create 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. We will not knowingly or intentionally disclose any private information about any individual user except as allowed by this policy or in assistance with the effective management of our business, to comply with applicable law or valid legal process, or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
