Privacy Statement
The Checkmystats Team has
created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to
privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination
practices for this Web site: http://www.checkmystats.com.au
Information gathered from
your visit by our Web server is data of a general nature, the same that most
Web servers would gather. Data such as IP address, pages served, average time
of visit, and any errors encountered whilst visiting is collected in the
server logs. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server
and the web page data helps us diagnose navigation problems, thus improving
the layout and navigation of Checkmystats.
Checkmystats uses any
information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience on our
site, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
Also, Checkmystats uses
information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic
newsletters.
Further Details:
Link ID codes
ID codes are used in certain
links to establish the relationship between you, checkmystats and the content
and service providers. When these are used the data they contain only pertains
to information required to establish this link so discounts and commissions
(if applicable) can be paid to the relevant party.
Personal Information
Your e-mail address is not
stored on the Internet when you subscribe to our Newsletter Services. When you
subscribe to our newsletter services, your email address is used to send you
those newsletter services only. Further, we do not give or sell the
information collected by us to anyone for any use other than the purpose for
which you gave it.
Newsletter Subscriptions
(Ezines)
We send out newsletters to
subscribers on a regular schedule (daily or weekly, depending on the
newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing.
Checkmystats never shares newsletter mailing lists with any uninvolved third
parties, including advertisers or partners.
Checkmystats gathers the
email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe to newsletters at our site.
Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the directions
at the bottom of these publications.
Advertising
While aggregate counts of
banner impressions and click through rates are provided to advertisers, an
advertiser will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. Checkmystats
does not target advertising against specific user information. Checkmystats
will not provide specific user information to any third party company.
Usage tracking
Checkmystats tracks user
traffic patterns. Checkmystats sometimes tracks and catalogues the search
terms that users enter in checkmystats.com.au
search engine and directories, but the data tracked is never associated with
individual users.
When we use tracking
information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like
based on traffic to those areas, we do not track what individual users read,
but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to
build a better service for you.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data
file that can contain information such as a user ID that a site uses to track
the pages you've visited. The only personal information a cookie can contain
is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard
disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Checkmystats uses cookies to
track user traffic patterns, advertising banners displayed and when you click
an advertising banner. Checkmystats advertising system stores one cookie to
better track ad impressions and click rates.
If you've set your browser
to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message
with each cookie.
You can refuse cookies by
turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to
use any Checkmystats site.

options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
-
Opting not to sign up to
receive our electronic newsletters
-
Opting out of allowing
cookies to not be stored by turning them off in the browser (but please
see above)
-
Opting not to
participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the
need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users
Other Information

We do not use any
special software used for detection purposes.

Adult sites, sites with
adult-oriented links, sites that promote hatred, racism, or
discrimination, and sites that promote illegal activity are banned from
our service.

with this Web site, you can contact.
