PolarKaze Media, LLC (“PolarKaze,” “we,” or “us”) are the sole owners of The Art is Cracker Jack website ("Website"), a content website created and maintained for informational or entertainment purposes only.
This Privacy Policy describes what information is collected and how and when it might be used or shared.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
You are not required to provide information about yourself when you visit our Website. However, we may ask you for some or all of the following types of information if user registration is required for the purpose of accessing or receiving certain content, entering into a contest or sweepstake, submitting comments and feedback, or contacting us via email or other direct contact:
- Contact information such as name, address, and e-mail address;
- Demographic information, such as age, gender, preferences and interests;
- Correspondence and other information that you send to us;
- Any additional information as otherwise described to you at the point of collection or pursuant to your consent.
We also may collect certain information automatically when you visit the website, including:
- Your browser type and operating system
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Pages you view and links you click on within the website
- Information collected through cookies and other technologies
Cookies, Log Files, and other Server Technology
We may use cookies to track your interaction with our Website in order to aid us in identifying how our Website is being used. This usage information may then be compiled and analyzed so that we can improve our Website content and user experience in the future. Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the websites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. You may set your browser preferences to decline cookies; however, you may not be able to fully experience all the features on our Website. Cookies cannot be used to identify you personally.
Like all websites, each time you access content from our Website, a "request" is made to the server hosting this site. Information about each "request" is stored in a "log file" (logged data includes the date, time, IP address, page requested, browser and OS information, and the referring URL). We may use this log-file information, to analyze trends, to administer the site, and to gather information about the interests and preferences of our audience. The log-file information does not identify individual users.
We do not directly use "clear GIFs" or "pixel tags" also known as "web beacons" or "web bugs" on our Website; however, we may include advertising within our Website that does use this technology. Clear GIFS are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive (where users can view them, though not easily), clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are smaller than the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Advertisers may tie the information gathered by clear gifs to any personally identifiable information which they have obtained. You may be able to block this technology by using third-party "Internet Security" software.
Our Website may include content, affiliate links as well as advertising from or for third-party partners. Some of our third party advertising and affiliate partners use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to track the effectiveness of the advertisements and promotions they run on our Website. We do not provide personal information about you to those third-party partners. Further, use of third-party cookies, web beacons and other technologies is not governed this Privacy Policy, but by the privacy policy of the third-party.
USE OF INFORMATION
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our Website or conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
We may use information that we collect through user registration to our Website for the following purposes:
- Provide you with content, services, promotions, and other information you request;
- Respond to correspondence that we receive from you; and
- As otherwise described to you at the point of collection or pursuant to your consent.
AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
Our Website may contain affiliate links, which means that PolarKaze may earn a commission if you click on the link or make a purchase using the link. When you make a purchase, the price you pay will be the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website using a non-affiliate link. These third party affiliate sites have separate and independent privacy policies that are not covered under this Privacy Policy.
LINKS
Our Website may contain links to other websites that are operated and maintained by third parties and that are not under the control of or maintained by PolarKaze. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by PolarKaze of those other websites, the content displayed therein, or the persons or entities associated therewith. This Privacy Policy does not apply to this third-party content. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.
AMENDMENT
PolarKaze may at any time revise this Privacy Policy by updating this posting. You are bound by such revisions and should periodically visit this page for updates.
