You do not need to provide any information that identifies you (“personal information”) to use a Evolution site or to obtain information from most of the features of a Evolution site. In general, you can visit our Web sites without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information.

However, if you want to use certain online services, you may be asked to provide some personal information, such as your name, mailing address or e-mail address. We also may ask you to choose a user name and password and provide that information when accessing certain online features.

We are only interested in offering you convenient online services that match your interests and needs.

Some examples of when we may request personal information include the following:

Accessing or Deleting Your Personal Information

If you have submitted personal information through an “Evolution” site and you would like to access that information, please send an email to privacy@evolutionmediaholdings.comWe will use reasonable efforts to supply you with this information and to correct any factual inaccuracies that you identify.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Non-Personal Information

In some cases, an “Evolution” site may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable, as described below.

Internet Protocol Addresses

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. This number does not identify your name, e-mail address or other personal information. If you request pages from any Evolution Web site, that site’s server will enter your IP address into a log. To maintain user anonymity, Evolution does not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information. We also do not permit IP addresses to be associated and viewed with posts to chat rooms and bulletin boards. We store IP addresses for a period of time to help us to identify anyone who refuses to comply with our in-house rules or terms of service, and to identify visitors who threaten our service, site, customers or others. We also will use this information to measure site traffic for purposes of system administration and for our sponsors. This aggregate data also helps us to understand how people are using the Web site and helps us improve your online experience.

Cookies

Evolution sites also automatically gather certain non-personal information through the use of “cookies.” “Cookies” are small text files that recognize repeat visitors, facilitate ongoing access to some sites, and allow sites to understand how and when pages are visited and by how many people. We use cookies primarily to make improvements and updates based on which areas are popular and which are not. We also use cookies to ensure the accuracy of our polling data. Except for personal information voluntarily provided by you (i.e., during any registration process), we do not use information transferred through cookies for promotional or marketing purposes, and that information is not shared with third parties.

Our advertisers may occasionally place cookies on your computer, which is standard in the Internet industry. Please note that Evolution does not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to this privacy policy.

 Safeguarding Children’s Privacy

Evolution sites will not knowingly collect personal information or any other identifying data from children under 13 years of age without first obtaining verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian. Requests for parental consent will explain how we collect, use, and disclose children’s personal information, and will include an opportunity for parents to prevent use of their children’s information, as well as to prevent their children from participating in features which involve the collection of personal information. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to a Evolution site without first obtaining parental consent, the site will immediately delete that information from its database.

We will not use, distribute or disclose any child’s personal information to third parties without prior parental consent. If, at any time, a parent withdraws his or her consent to our use or maintenance of personal information collected from his or her child, we will promptly remove such information from our database. In addition, we will not require children under 13 years of age to disclose more personal information than is necessary in order to participate in any online feature or service.
