Welcome to the web site. We respect your privacy and wish to ensure you that any information provided will not be used inappropriately. Your right to privacy and data security is our primary concern. That's why, when you visit, we help you maintain control over your personal data on the Internet. Below are the guidelines we use for protecting the information you provide during a visit to our site. Please note that the site may link to resources provided by other sites which may have their own privacy notices. Remember to exercise caution when providing information to other such sites.

Information Collection
Any information collected will require you as a user to opt-in to the collection and will be used only by our site to improve our research, services and our site. We will not release such information to third parties without prior written authorization of the user. If you do grant permission for release of your information to a third party, we will only release the information to the third parties you specifically approve and name in writing. We may occasionally ask you to provide us with information such as your name, email or your interests. Of course, you never have to answer any of these questions and all areas within the site are accessible without providing such information; however, certain promoted activities may require some personal information to be provided by you, and in the event you do not provide such information these activities may be inaccessible.

Information Collection from Minors
At no point will the site release information collected from minors under the age of 13 to a third party. Any collection of information from said minors will be subject to confirmation by a parent or legal guardian of the minor provided the minor has accurately provided their current age in any disclosures to the site. In the event a minor submits personal information to the site and consent from a parent or legal guardian cannot be obtained in writing, the site will dispose of the information in accordance with its safeguards within 5 business days.

Safeguarding Your Personal Identifiable Information
We will only collect personally identifiable information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate purposes and we will maintain appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the security and privacy of the information you have provided. We will not share your personal information with other parties without prior written authorization of the user.

Accessing, Modifying, and Removing Your Personal Information
If for any reason you want to access, review, and/or revise your personal information that we maintain; please contact us at hostmaster@carterobrien.com. You may request, in writing, to review the information we have collected from you to ensure its accuracy and completeness at any time. Access to your information shall be provided free of charge and addressed within 10 business days of your request or sooner. At your request, we will remove your personal information and cease any disclosures to previously authorized third parties.

Changes to Privacy Statement
The web site may make changes to its privacy notice from time to time. We will make every effort not to relax our commitment to privacy. Changes to the notice shall be posted thirty days prior to official update. The then current notice shall apply to all use of the site; notice terms are not retroactive to prior use. In the event a notice change will reduce the personal guarantees provided to site users, registered users will be notified via email of the changes including the effective date.
