Privacy Policy
Introduction
Moddition, Inc. and its affiliates
("Moddition") understands that your privacy
is important to you. Moddition is strongly
committed to protecting your privacy and the
personal information that you may provide as
you access and use the materials on
Moddition.com (the "Site"), including the
subscription pages of the Site. In this
written Privacy Policy, Moddition describes
the scope and breadth of our commitment to
privacy. Moddition may, in its discretion,
amend this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any material changes to our policy will be
reflected on this page, so that you remain
informed about the information we collect
and how we use it. By exploring and using
this Site, and by submitting information as
you use this Site, you agree to Moddition's
use of such information as described herein.
This Site may contain links to external
sites, which sites are not governed by this
privacy policy, and Moddition does not take
responsibility for the privacy practices of
any third party sites to which we link. We
encourage you to review the privacy policies
of any such sites before you submit
information there.
Information That We Collect, and
How We Use It
Moddition collects information from our
users when they create their account for
this Site, when they request copies of
publications, seek additional information
regarding our services or employment
opportunities, or register for conferences
and other Moddition-sponsored events. Some
of our Site's registration, enrollment,
account setup and other forms may ask users
to give us contact information, unique
personal identifiers, financial information,
subject areas of interest and/or demographic
information. We may use this data to tailor
the visitor's experience at our Site. We
sometimes aggregate demographic information,
and the types of systems and browsers of
users for internal purposes, so that we may
better understand the user population of our
Site, identify subject areas of interest,
and determine whether the Site is designed
to work with the computer settings of a
majority of our visitors. Moddition also may
conduct user surveys on the Web, which
usually are intended to provide Moddition
with information on a number of areas, such
as user identity, user viewing habits,
whether or not users found what they were
searching for, whether the Site content is
relevant to user needs, and the like.
Moddition uses the information gathered from
such surveys to improve our web content,
navigation, and overall visitor experience.
Any personal information that you
provide, such as your name, address, e-mail
address, phone number, subject areas of
interest, etc., allows Moddition to inform
you about updates to the service and to
notify you about other products and services
offered by Moddition that may be of interest
to you. We will not sell, share, or rent or
otherwise make available any of that
information to other parties, except that we
may disclose the information to third
parties who perform services on our behalf
in connection with the Site and have a need
to access the information in connection with
those services. In addition, Moddition may
disclose contact information for you in
response to inquiries by bona-fide rights
owners in connection with allegations of
infringement of copyright or other
proprietary rights arising from information
that you have posted on the Site or
otherwise provided to Moddition. Individuals
that subscribe to e-mail newsletters are
given the opportunity to opt-out of
promotions, news, and information at the
time of sign up. Our Site also provides
users the opportunity to opt-out of
receiving communications from us at the
points where we request information. You may
also feel free to contact us as indicated
below.
E-Mail Addresses
We may collect the e-mail addresses at
the point of subscription, of users who wish
to receive e-mail notification of
publications and press releases in
identified subject areas of interest, and of
those who send us e-mail messages. We will
not, however, share any e-mail addresses
with any third party or send unsolicited
e-mail to any of the addresses we collect,
except in very limited circumstances as set
forth in this policy.
