Privacy Policy: General

This Privacy Policy will advise you about how we collect, use, share and protect personal information that we may collect from you through this site, and about your choices concerning our use of your personal information. Please read this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on our site. We will post those changes here so please refer back to this policy regularly. Also, please note that this policy does not apply to any personal information that we may collect from you other than through this site.

Privacy Policy: Personal Identification Information

We will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily give it to us.

Except as specified in this Section, we will not intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user (such as, your full name, street address, telephone number, credit card number or e-mail address) to any third party without your consent or permission. Stephan Sorger may share your information with other Stephan Sorger affiliated companies. Your information may be shared with agents or contractors of Stephan Sorger in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for Stephan Sorger.

We may request personal identification information from you in connection with your use of, or participation in, surveys, registrations, requests for suggestions, and in connection with other activities, services or resources we make available to you. Again, please note that you must voluntarily give this information to us. If you identify yourself to us by sending us an e-mail with questions or comments, we may use your personal information to respond to your questions or comments.

We may also use personal identification information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes. On occasion, for example, Stephan Sorger and its affiliated companies may send you e-mails to introduce a product or service that we think might be of interest to you.

Additionally, we will release specific information about you to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the site, or a physical threat to you or others.

Privacy Policy: Non-Personal Information And The Use Of Cookie Technology

We may collect non-personal information through the use of either "cookie" technology, IP address tracking or both. Non-personal information is information that does not identify you personally and might include the browser you use, the type of computer, the operating systems, the Internet service providers and other similar information. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on the site. Cookies allow us to personalize your experience at the site by automatically gathering information about the areas you visit on our site and about the links you may select from within our site to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online. Cookies can also allow you to store your password (in the event one is necessary), without having to constantly re-enter it.

We use such information in the aggregate to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on our site. In this way we know which areas of our site are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our site.

We may also share this aggregate statistical information with our partners, suppliers and other third parties. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of the site may not work properly.

Privacy Policy: Links To Other Sites and Liability to Third Parties

Users will find advertising or other content on our site that provide links to the sites and services of our partners, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and we are not responsible for the information or links you may find there. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies, or no policy at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party site or service before providing them with your personal information. An example of a third party site is www.styleshout.com, which provided a template for this site. The presence of these links on this website is not intended to imply our endorsement of that site or its goods or services, but to provide a convenient link to relevant sites which are managed by other organizations, companies, or individuals.

Although we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identification information, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. Stephan Sorger will have no liability for disclosure of information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Privacy Policy: Security

Stephan Sorger will make reasonable efforts to keep secure the data you provide us and will take reasonable precautions in an effort to protect your personal identification information from loss, misuse or alteration.

Privacy Policy: Transfer of Business Assets

As we continue to develop our site, we may be acquired, merge with a business, acquire or buy businesses or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In such an event, both personal identification and non-personal information will be one of the transferred assets.

Privacy Policy: Your Acceptance of These Terms

By using this site, you accepted our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use the site. Your continued use of the site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept those changes.

Miscellaneous

If any of these terms and conditions are found unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be considered restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. This is the entire agreement between you and Stephan Sorger relating to the subject matter it contains. No failure or delay on the part of Stephan Sorger to exercise any right or remedy under these terms and conditions will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy. Any inquiries concerning these terms and conditions of use should be directed to: webmaster<at>stephansorger.com (replace "webmaster" with "stephan" and <at> with @). This agreement may be modified only by our posting of changes to these terms and conditions, or by a writing signed by both parties.
