The Internet contains a wealth of information; unfortunately, it may also contain personal details about you that you don't want everyone to know. For example, your real name (lots of people on the Internet use aliases, alter egos, or nicknames), street address, phone number, or e-mail address. When you go online, sites you visit may be gathering information about you without your knowledge. At screamatthebeach.com we share our visitors' and members' concerns about protecting their privacy while using our services.

SCREAMATTHEBEACH'S PRIVACY POLICY

Screamatthebeach.com's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our visitors. This policy statement tells you how we implement this policy.

The information you provide for our Mailing List, Purchases and/or Private Communications is shared with no one outside of screamatthebeach.com, as it is our goal to make your visits to our site and gatherings easy and enjoyable. Be assured that screamatthebeach.com will not disclose your personal information to third parties outside of screamatthebeach.com without your consent. Screamatthebeach.com may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) screamatthebeach.com's rights or property, other screamatthebeach.com website users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Screamatthebeach.com may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Screamatthebeach.com may share aggregate information about our users with third parties. For example, we will say screamatthebeach.com visitors is x percent female and y percent male.

There are cases where screamatthebeach.com may ask you for personal information such as your name, e-mail address, and birth date. For example, we request personal information when you register to be a volunteer, for online shopping or transactions, or for services that require registration or subscription (for example screamatthebeach.com's mailing list). Screamatthebeach.com needs to collect this information for fulfilling prizes, tracking/verifying compliance with screamatthebeach.com policies as well as federal, state, and local laws, and/or for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes.

In case you change your mind or some personal information changes (such as your ZIP code), we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update, or remove the personal data you give us. You can do this by contacting us at

USE OF IP ADDRESSES

An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers — the big computers that "serve up" Web pages — automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

Screamatthebeach.com may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to the media, and to audit the use of our site. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, members, or others.

USE OF COOKIES

What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard — you'll find them at most major Web sites.

By showing how and when visitors use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users needs.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of screamatthebeach.com will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you may have difficulty entering contests, or playing games.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Users should be aware that when they are on screamatthebeach.com, they could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from screamatthebeach.com pages that take you outside our service. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online — for example, via message boards or chat — that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While screamatthebeach.com strives to protect our users' personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.

Screamatthebeach.com's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond screamatthebeach.com's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.

SECURITY

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our visitors is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, screamatthebeach.com can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

By using this site, you signify your assent to screamatthebeach.com's Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of screamatthebeach.com sites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
