Information Collection

All web servers track basic information about each visit. This information includes but is not limited to, IP addresses, browser software details, time of visit, resources requested (pages, videos, etc) and referring pages. None of this information can personally identify any specific visitors to this site. This information is provided by machines for routine administration and maintenance purposes and is common across all web sites.

We do not collect any personal information such as name, address, phone number, email address, birth date, vehicle information, etc. through just visiting the site. We also do not collect any personal information pertaining to transactions you have with sponsors or advertisers.

If you are concerned about your privacy, best practices indicate that you should not give any information other than the required username and email address for the free account. Leave the other fields blank, that's totally fine.

Email Addresses

We do not collect or store email addresses from visitors.

Modifying Your Privacy

You can change your browser settings to disable cookies if you have privacy concerns. Disabling cookies for all sites is not recommended as it will interfere with your use of the majority of sites on the Internet and prevent you from logging in to your webmail, blogs or forums. The best option is to disable or enable cookies on a per-site basis if you have concerns. Consult your browser documentation for instructions on how to block cookies and other tracking mechanisms.

Information Sharing And Disclosure

We respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Special EU GDPR Statement

In May 2018, the European Union government implemented a new GDPR general data protection regulation. We use Google for two things: ad serving, and for web analytics.

Those two services used by us from Google are covered by this privacy policy, we encourage you to read it. That link lets you, the user, know how Google collects & uses information, and ad personalization. The link also tells you how to control that information as well.

Visitors from the EU will receive a notification upon visiting our site and they can choose to either consent or not consent to personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development; and store and/or access information on their device.

We also include some Amazon affiliate links on this site. Those Amazon product links may also set a cookie to your browser that will then track you when you click the link to Amazon so we can receive a commission on sales you make. We do not receive any personal information at all. If you purchase from the link(s) all we see is the product you bought and it's price.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a data privacy law that establishes various rights for California state residents. We choose to display a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link at the bottom of each webpage for those visitors from California, if they choose to disallow targeted ads.
