How does the Site use Personally Identifiable Information?

We
are not in the business of selling personal information. In the event
that this site does use PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION we will use
that information to customize the Site, to make appropriate service
offerings, and to fulfill buying and selling requests on the Site. We
may email Visitors and Authorized Customers about research or purchase
and selling opportunities on the Site or information related to the
subject matter of the Site. We may also use Personally Identifiable
Information to contact Visitors and Authorized Customers in response to
specific inquiries, or to provide requested information.

retrotown.blogspot.com/
and it's owners may use any information voluntarily given by our users
to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide
interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare
future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated
above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to
send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in
polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to
subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and
occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might
be particularly interested in something we are doing. The site and it's
owners never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

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. We track search terms
entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests
our users.

WE may create aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This
allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our
users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs.
Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an
advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked
their ad.

With whom may the information may be shared?

Personally
Identifiable Information may be shared, on a need to know basis, with
those who provide the services. We will disclose Personally
Identifiable Information in order to comply with a court order or
subpoena or a request from a law enforcement agency to release
information. We will also disclose Personally Identifiable Information
when reasonably necessary to protect the safety of our Visitors and
Authorized Customers.

will continue to enter into partnerships and other affiliations with a
number of vendors.
Such vendors may have access to certain
Personally Identifiable Information on a need to know basis for
evaluating Authorized Customers for service eligibility.
Our privacy policy does not cover their collection or use of this information. Personal information will not be sold.
