PRIVACY POLICY
Celtic-Culture.com is committed to protecting the privacy of our online visitors. We
strive to offer our visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. We may use personally identifiable information (your name, e-mail address,
street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will NEVER sell,
barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Period."
We collect information from online visitors who ask to be
on our newsletter mailing list and/or receive periodic email announcements. Anyone who wishes can choose to
be removed from our mailing list at any time. All online visitor data collected by
Celtic-Culture.com is protected against unauthorized access. We will not sell,
trade, or give your personal information to other companies or organizations.
How we gather
information
from
users:
How we collect and store information
depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services
we provide. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a
purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards
and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web
sites, Celtic-Culture.com also collects information automatically and through the use
of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from
your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from
having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we
may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us
with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do
you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name
and password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with
the
information we
collect
Like other Web publishers, we
collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising.
We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information
(information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to
help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features
are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information
about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use
Personally Identifiable Information collected on
Celtic-Culture.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by Celtic-Culture.com and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally identifiable
information collected by Celtic-Culture.com may
also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes
and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example)
may access such information.
We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to
develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or
businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We
may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites
and advertisements
Celtic-Culture.com expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our
partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our
site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For
example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on
a Celtic-Culture.com page,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third
party.
Also,
through Celtic-Culture.com you
may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests
or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Celtic-Culture.com is not responsible for the actions or policies of such
third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site,
our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other
technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information
about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may
include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before.
Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies
or other technology to gather information. Celtic-Culture.com
does not control the use of
this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third
parties.
You should also be
aware that if you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information on
message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be
collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of
Celtic-Culture.com and this policy.
Children’s
Privacy
We do not
knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we
learn that we have personal information on a child under the age of 13, we will
delete that information from our systems. Celtic-Culture.com encourages parents to go online with their
kids.
Here
are a few tips to help make a child's online experience
safer:
* Teach kids
never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible
adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
* Know the sites your kids are
visiting and which sites are appropriate.
* Look for Web site privacy
policies. Know how your child's information is
treated.
