Dwarfnet Internet Guide ("http://www.dwarfnet.com") has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy issues. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for Dwarfnet.com.

At Dwarfnet, we are very committed to your privacy, so here is our PRIVACY PROMISE TO YOU: Dwarfnet.com will never sell, exchange, or release any of your individual personal information to a third party without your express permission.

From time to time, we may conduct online surveys or run a contest for promotional purposes, during which, we may ask users for contact information (like email addresses) and demographic information (like county, age, or income level). We use contact data to send consumers information about our company and, of course, to notify people if they win the contest.

We understand, though, that you may want to participate in these surveys or contests but may not want us to send you email. Accordingly, as part of these surveys or contests, we will always give you the option of declining to receive information from Dwarfnet.com. Hey, if you don't want to receive email, just let us know, and we won't send it. Simple as that. [Of course, we will notify you if you win the contest.]

Like other web sites, your IP number is visible to us when you visit our web site. What is an IP address, you may ask? It is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're connected the Internet. Your IP number is visible to most of the websites that you visit. Don't worry, though, at Dwarfnet.com, we only use IP numbers to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer our Web site. Other sites may use your IP number for marketing purposes. We don't.

From time to time, we may share with third parties aggregate information-- such as, how many of our users are men, or how many are hockey fans. Such information will not contain any personal identifying information.

Unlike many sites, Dwarfnet Internet Guide does NOT use cookies. However, you should know that Dwarfnet.com employs outside ad companies to display banner ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. Cookies from banner ads are collected by our ad partners, and are used for purposes of tracking performance of the banner ads. Dwarfnet.com may not have access to this information.

If you do not want to accept cookies, your browser software should allow you to not accept cookies. Look in the Preferences (Netscape)or Internet Options (Microsoft Internet Explorer) feature to do this.

Dwarfnet Internet Guide contains many links to other sites. Dwarfnet.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. Dwarfnet Internet Guide does not share any of the individual personal information you provide Dwarfnet.com with the sites to which Dwarfnet.com links, although Dwarfnet.com may share aggregate data with such sites (such as how many people use our site).

Please check with those sites to determine their privacy policy.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
