Protection of personal privacy is important to The Cue Ball Group, LLC. The Cue Ball Group, LLC maintains the anonymity of each survey respondent unless express consent to the release of a respondent's personal information or individual responses has been provided by that respondent. In a like manner, The Cue Ball Group, LLC protects the identity of individuals who access its websites. Please read the following policy for further details as to the types of information collected through The Cue Ball Group, LLC websites, including personal information, and how it is treated.
INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THE CUE BALL GROUP, LLC WEBSITES
The Cue Ball Group, LLC websites gather information in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our site's technology), and (2) directly (for example, when you, the site visitor, voluntarily provide information on various pages).
Information Collected Indirectly
The Cue Ball Group, LLC indirectly collects a variety of information pertaining to use of its websites. One type of this information is that which is related to site traffic volume and patterns, such as the number of visitors to a given site or page on a daily basis. This type of indirectly collected information is gathered through various means, such as an IP address, which is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit a page from The Cue Ball Group, LLC, our servers log your computer's IP address.
Only designated administrators can access this information, and it is used only for administrative and planning purposes to meet the needs of our users, such as to improve the content of the site and to customize the content and/or layout of the site for individuals or groups of users.
Other types of indirectly collected information are stored in "cookies." Cookies are small files of electronic information that a website can transfer to a visitor's hard drive to help that visitor while on the site. Some Cue Ball Group sites use cookies simply to store a user code so that the user does not have to re-enter their information when rejoining the site. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet. Although most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, the decision of whether to accept them is yours. A browser can usually be adjusted to prevent the reception of cookies, or to provide notification whenever a cookie is sent to you. Even without accepting a cookie, users can still access most of the features offered by The Cue Ball Group, LLC websites.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may use cookies and action tags to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.
Information Collected Directly
The Cue Ball Group, LLC also collects information that is voluntarily provided by site visitors, such as a name or an email address. When The Cue Ball Group, LLC collects this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for the information and how it will be used. It is entirely your decision to provide the requested information. Such personal data is collected when a site visitor registers with a site or requests Web services. This information is kept totally confidential, and will be used only to contact you. You may choose to have this information removed at any time. The Cue Ball Group, LLC will never barter, trade, or sell access to our database of registered users.
