The Blamo.org system is committed to maintaining your confidence and trust, and accordingly maintains the following privacy policy to protect personal information you provide online.

Basic Confidentiality Policy

It is blamo.org policy that personal information, such as your name, postal and e-mail address or telephone number, is private and confidential. Accordingly, the personal information you provide is stored in a secure location, is accessible only by designated staff, and is used only for the purposes for which you provide the information (such as to reply to your request or to handle your complaint). For example, when you file a complaint about a business online, the personal information you provide will be used to process your complaint.

If you also indicate on our sites that you would like to receive information about other blamo.org programs and services, such as scam alerts, publications or membership, your personal information will be added to appropriate blamo.org mailing lists. You can indicate your desire when completing a complaint form or when you send us e-mail. If at any time you change your mind and would like to add or remove your name from the blamo.org's mailing list, or correct your personal information, please email us at http://www.blamo.org/contactus.php or go to http://blamo.org/ and remove your e-mail manually.

Release of Information to Third Parties

No personal information is given to third parties (ie Burst Media, Eads, or Flycast). Only information that is transferred to third parties is information such as web broswers used, os used, and location gathered from IP addresses. Through surveys used on the site information is gathered such as gender, age, salary, and online buying habits. Surveys are not required to be filled by users of blamo.org.

No Computer Tracking of Identifiable Information

Our computer is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information about its visitors. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our sites. This information is used only for internal purposes by blamo.org technical support staff.

In addition, our web sites track information about the visits to our web sites. For example, we compile statistics that show the daily number of visitors to our sites, the daily requests we receive for particular files on our web sites, and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used internally to better provide services to the public and may also be provided to others, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

Thanks to the Better Business Bureau Online, which we based this privacy policy.

Privacy Policy: The issue of privacy on the Internet is rapidly becoming a primary concern of Web users. Internet consumers are most concerned about unauthorized use of personal information. However, when they are provided an overview from trusted web publishers as to what information is collected and how it will be used, the concerns have proven to diminish greatly. Engage Media has always been deeply committed to protecting the privacy of Internet users, and has had a posted privacy policy since its inception. Advertisers are increasingly requesting that Networks such as Engage Media adhere to a standard Privacy Policy and that sites in their network also provide privacy guidelines to online consumers. To address the growing industry need for privacy policy standards, Engage Media requires that all Website Affiliates have a Privacy Policy, and that they link to the latest Engage Media Privacy Policy as well.

YOUR SITE CANNOT BE ACTIVATED TO RECEIVE PAID ENGAGE MEDIA AD CAMPAIGNS UNLESS YOU HAVE POSTED A PRIVACY STATEMENT SPECIFIC TO YOUR SITE, AND YOU HAVE ADDED THE ENGAGE MEDIA STATEMENT TO THE SAME PAGE (AS SHOWN BELOW).

If you do not have a privacy policy, you will need to create one; you are welcome to use the Engage Media privacy policy as a guideline to create your own.

Even if you already have a privacy policy, you MUST post the below language and link to the Engage Media Privacy Policy on the same page as your privacy policy:

This site, Siva - The Smashing Pumpkins Website, uses the services of Engage for the serving and/or targeting of ads, promotions and other marketing messages. To do this, Engage collects anonymous data through the use of cookies. To learn more about Engage, including your ability to opt out of the Engage system, go to http://www.engage.com/privacy. THE PAGE WITH THE PRIVACY POLICY CANNOT INCLUDE A BANNER AD, AS THIS IS A PRIVACY STATEMENT AND NOT A REVENUE GENERATING OPPORTUNITY. By posting a Privacy Policy, you are stating that your site conforms to the same policies that the Engage Media Network conforms to. As the Internet becomes more and more sophisticated, it is imperative that Engage Media Affiliate Websites respect their users' privacy. Engage Media advertisers will often request that they only advertise on sites that adhere to the Engage Media Privacy Policy. Your Account Executive will confirm that you adhere to Engage Media's Privacy Policy before activating you to receive paid advertisements from Engage Media.
