that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of
Privacy applies to the Urban Shaman Web site and governs data collection and
usage. By using the Urban Shaman website, you consent to the data practices
described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
Urban Shaman collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail
address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Urban Shaman also
collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as
your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is
automatically collected by Urban Shaman. This information can include: your IP
address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site
addresses. This information is used by Urban Shaman for the operation of the
service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics
regarding use of the Urban Shaman Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable
information or personally sensitive data through Urban Shaman public message
boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Urban Shaman
does not read any of your private online communications.
Urban Shaman encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you
choose to link to from Urban Shaman so that you can understand how those Web
sites collect, use and share your information. Urban Shaman is not responsible
for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Urban
Shaman and Urban Shaman family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
Urban Shaman collects and uses your personal information to operate the Urban
Shaman Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Urban Shaman also
uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or
services available from Urban Shaman and its affiliates. Urban Shaman may also
contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current
services or of potential new services that may be offered.
Urban Shaman does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.
Urban Shaman may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business
partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those
cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address,
telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Urban
Shaman may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical
analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange
for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal
information except to provide these services to Urban Shaman, and they are
required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Urban Shaman does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as
race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
Urban Shaman keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within
Urban Shaman, in order to determine what Urban Shaman services are the most
popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within
Urban Shaman to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a
particular subject area.
Urban Shaman Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice,
only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on Urban Shaman or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or
property of Urban Shaman; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of users of Urban Shaman, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The Urban Shaman Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web
page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have
returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Urban Shaman pages,
or register with Urban Shaman site or services, a cookie helps Urban Shaman to
recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the
process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses,
shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Urban Shaman Web
site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can
easily use the Urban Shaman features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to
decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be
able to fully experience the interactive features of the Urban Shaman services
or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Urban Shaman secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. Urban Shaman secures the personally identifiable information you
provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a
credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Urban Shaman will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Urban Shaman encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how Urban Shaman is protecting your
information.
