SmallMap.com takes seriously the privacy concerns of our online visitors and other users. We are committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of visitors and other users to the SmallMap.com Web site. This policy does not apply to the practices of other Web sites, which publish customized, trial or registered, copies of SmallMap software on their Web sites, which SmallMap.com does not own or control. "Personally identifiable information" is defined as information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number. INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE SmallMap.com does not require or collect personally identifying information from online visitors who browse our Web pages, view the sample SmallMap program, or download files to try and modify. SmallMap.com may retain the email addresses and contact information provided by the email senders in the normal course of email communication, such as when a user emails SmallMap.com for feedback or questions. Such information will strictly be used only for purposes related to the original emails, such as for technical support or future notices about future upgrades. SmallMap.com requires and collect personally identifying information only from Web Publishers who register their use of the SmallMap program. The registration form requires the inputs of an email address and URL of the registrant, and registrant may optionally input the name of a contact person. For certain registration payment options, our agent may request credit card and other payment information for the purpose of authentication and issuing receipts. The information our agent collects from you and transmits to us may also include name, organization, email, IP address, address, phone number, and other information you agree to provide. We make all efforts to appoint reputable agents with the highest standards and capability to secure confidential information obtained. It is your responsibility to read their privacy policy and terms of use before deciding to provide them and their server with any personal, confidential, and credit card information. SmallMap.com uses the registration information to confirm the registered status of Web Publisher, by publishing only two pieces of information on the registration page: the URL and date of registration. SmallMap.com does not publish the registrant's email and any other information known to SmallMap.com, but keep it on record for future communication, such as to confirm any request for transfer of registration to another URL. We will not sell, rent, license or provide that registration information or any email addresses to any third party unless required to do so by judicial, legal or other government proceedings. However, you acknowledge that SmallMap.com's registration page, which publishes the registrants' URLs and registration dates, is by nature freely viewable to the public on the Web. For all online visitors to our Web site, SmallMap.com's server may use server- and browser-side script and cookies to collect limited, non-personally identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit a Website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type and version, browser language, the date and time of your query, available plug-ins, platforms (Windows, Macintosh, etc.), connection speeds and monitor resolutions, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We may aggregate the total number of visitors to our Web site, the pages visited, and how long visitors remain at the page and site. We use this information to operate, develop and improve our services. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE In the event of a transfer of ownership of SmallMap.com, such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. We may share aggregated information with others. Examples of this include the number of users who view certain Web pages and download certain files, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. SmallMap.com displays advertisements based on Web page contents. By interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad. SmallMap.com does not share any personally identifying information of online visitors, as we do not collect the information from online visitors. USE OF COOKIES AND SCRIPTS SmallMap.com's Web site collects aggregated and anonymous site-visitation statistics using cookies and scripts. A "cookie" is a small packet or file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. We do this to improve content and services offered to our site visitors and to ensure that our users have the best possible Internet experience on our site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. When someone visits our site, one or more cookies are placed on the visitor's computer, if the visitor accepts cookies. If the user has visited the site previously, the cookie is read. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some SmallMap features or services may not function properly without cookies. On SmallMap.com's sample program pages, such as Sample Town, a session cookie is used to store your search criteria and display preferences, and is crucial to the functioning of the program. A session cookie is a short-live cookie that lasts for as long as the browser remains open. Web Publishers not controlled by SmallMap.com may have modified this cookie to last for a longer period of time; when visiting their Web sites, you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to examine their cookie or their privacy policy to ascertain the exact nature of their cookies. SmallMap.com lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to SmallMap.com's cookies. HYPERLINKS TO OTHER SITES AND ANY MAILING LIST OR GROUP We may provide links to other Web sites not owned, controlled or affiliated with our Web site, but we are not responsible for the privacy practices or material provided by other sites, and we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully. When there is sufficient interest, SmallMap.com may start one or more mailing lists or user groups for all registered and trial users using a third-party mailing list or Web group service, in which case the third-party service provider may require that you register to use its services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or material provided by the third-party services, and we recommend that you read its privacy policy carefully. We reserve the right to send to the email addresses of the registered Web Publishers communications specifically related to the SmallMap software program, such as service announcements and administrative messages, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them. This only applies to the registered users. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY SmallMap.com may update this policy. We expect most changes to be minor. We recommend that visitors revisit this page periodically to learn of any changes to our policy and practices. We will notify the registered Web Publishers about significant changes in the way we treat personally identifying information, which includes only your URL, email, and the name of any contact person, by sending a notice to your email address specified or by placing a prominent notice on our Web site.
