Privacy

1) Visitor Notice.
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (Personal Information) or allows us to contact you. Generally this information is requested when you are asked to register before participating on the message boards or entering a contest.

2) Visitor Consent.
If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the features on 4peeps Forums, but you will not be able to access areas that require registration.

3) Security.
We strictly protect the security of your personal information and honour your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your data will be stored on a secure server. The only people who have access to this are the server administrators (our web host), and the site administrators. While we try to keep this data safe, there is always the possibility of security being compromised due to hacking and other malicious attempts. If the security of the site is compromised, we will do everything in our power to fix the issue.

4) Distribution of personal information.
4peeps does not distribute personal information to any third parties. Should this change, we will not distribute any information without your prior express consent. Please be aware that it may be possible, depending on your use of various features on the forums, that some of your personal information is available on publicly accessible web page(s). One example would be using the "My Profile" feature in the Invision Power Board software. Consent to expose some of your personal information in these cases is implied by the use of these features.

5) Child access.
4peeps gives children between the ages of 13 and 18 the ability to publicly post or distribute personally identifiable contact information without prior parental consent. Please take proper measures if you do not wish your child to have access to public forums and message boards. As always, exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information in a public forum. If you are younger than 13 years of age, you are forbidden from becoming a member of 4peeps.com Forums or posting information on our message boards without direct parental consent.

6) Enforcement.
If for some reason you believe we have not adhered to these principles, please notify us by e-mail at admin@4peeps.com and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly. Be certain the words "Privacy Policy" are in the Subject line.

7) Changes to this document.
Changes to this document may be made any time without warning. We may or may not notify you of changes in this policy, however, we will make an effort to notify you if there are any major changes to this policy. You will not be notified about changes related to clarification and/or elaboration of parts of this policy.
