Privacy Policy

The following describes the Privacy Policy for the CoolStoreStuff.Club website.

Your Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect  your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is  collected and used. You agree to agree to these policies by virtue of  using our website in a way that leads to you providing us with personal  information.

State Law & Accompanying Rights
Please understand that you may have additional rights  originating from State laws based on where you live. These State-based rights may augment, strengthen, or otherwise somehow compliment any  privacy rights you have inherently or under Federal law. Our policy is  to comply fully with the privacy policies of every jurisdiction in which  we operate. Accordingly, you are free to use our Contact information to  reach us at any time to assert any State rights.

Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is  especially important. For that reason, our website will never collect or  maintain information at our website from those we actually know are  under 18, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 18.

Under our Terms of Service and Conditions of Use,  children under 18 are not allowed to use our website and access our services. It is not our intention to offer products or services to  minors.

Google Analytics
CoolStoreStuff.Club uses Google Analytics to help  analyse how users use the site. The tool uses “cookies,” which are text  files placed on your computer, to collect standard Internet log  information and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. The  information generated by the cookie about your use of the website  (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information  is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of this website and to compile  statistical reports on website activity.

We will never (and will not allow any third party to)  use the statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any  Personally Identifiable Information of visitors to our site. Google will  not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither we nor Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the  identity of a computer user.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the  appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.  By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you  by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Other Collection of Personal Information
When visiting our website, the IP address used to  access our website may be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information is purely used to analyze trends, administer  our website, track users movement, and gather broad demographic  information for internal use such as statistical assessments and website  improvement. Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked  to personally identifiable information.

Other information may be collected as well, which is  rather typical of most websites. For instance, the source that referred  you to our website is generally known. Likewise, your duration on our  website, and your destination when you leave our website can also be  tracked. Other common data collected includes the type of operating  system the computer you are using to access our website has. Similarly,  the type of web browser is often noted. Again, this is common data  collection, and helps ultimately produce a better end-user experience.

Cookies are another common internet practice. Cookies  are a key means of improving user experience by allows us to customize  your use of our website. Simple information is transferred to your  computer to allow the content and experience to reflect your actions,  preferences, and so on. You should simply make the assumption our  website uses cookies, and note that you are free to make adjustments in  your web browser to disable these or otherwise receive notification of  cookies so you can take whatever desired action you so choose. Please  understand that refusing cookies may cripple some of our website features and render some aspects useless to you.

At times, you will be fully aware of information  received, as you are the direct source providing it. For instance, you  may comment on a blog post, reply to an email (whether broadcast message  or autoresponder), provide an email address, complete a survey,  requests SMS, or otherwise. Likewise, purchases necessarily involve  collecting certain information, such as credit card information, Paypal  addresses, your physical address for billing and/or shipping, phone  number, and so on. Refusing to provide some of this information may lead  to us being unable to provide you with the products or services you’ve requested.

A prime example of limited access to our website is  where content may be protected by a username and password. Whether a username and password is generated by our website, or created by you,  these will almost always be connected with some other information  related to or connected with you. This is true since much content that  is protected on the internet is subscription based, often paid for.  Thus, the username and password must necessarily be tied to your other  account data. Usernames and passwords, by their very nature, should be  kept private.

Handling of Personal Information 
Note that any personal information you provide to  others apart from us or our vendors is wholly optional. As an example,  you might disclose something in a blog post comment. That “private”  information is now “public,” and we have no control over that. In like  fashion, you sharing information with any other third party not  functioning as a service provider to us puts that information beyond our  control and becomes subject to the policy that party has in place.

Our primary intention for collecting personal and  private information from you is simply to conduct our business. We can  use this internally to better serve you. Accordingly, we see no reason  to share your personal information to other parties and outside  interests unless you have authorized us to do so.

Of course, there are instances where your information  is stored with third party service providers, such as email service providers, as they provide services that are industry-leading in quality  and security and are far more beneficial to our end user than  attempting such services “in-house.” However, you are never required to  deal with any such third party directly, they are limited in how they  use your information, and they cannot sell or transfer it to others in  any way.

However, of course, your information does comprise  part of an overall whole. This aggregate of information, by contrast,  may be used to understand our overall user base. Further, we may share  this information about our website visitors as a whole, not individually, with third parties for various purposes, in our sole  discretion.

While we are staunch privacy advocates, there are  times when even we may be forced to abandon these ideals. Just as major search engines face ongoing compulsion to provide data against their  will, so too may the same occur with our website. Illegal activity or  other serious acts or allegations could create legal liability for our  website. In those cases, we reserve the right to share your information,  or else may simply be compelled to do so by law.

On the other hand, there may be times when we would  need to share your private information in order to protect our own interests. For instance, in cases of suspected or alleged copyright  infringement or other intellectual property violations, it may be  necessary to share personal information.

Google Adsense and the DoubleClick DART Cookie 
Google, as a third party advertisement vendor, may use cookies to  serve ads on this website. The use of DART cookies by Google enables  them to serve adverts to visitors that are based on their visits to this  website, including past visits, as well as other websites on the  internet.

To opt out of the DART cookies you may visit the  Google ad and content network privacy policy at the following url http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html Tracking of users through the  DART cookie mechanisms are subject to Google’s own privacy policies.

Other Third Party ad servers or ad networks may also  use cookies to track users activities on this website to measure advertisement effectiveness and other reasons that will be provided in  their own privacy policies, our website has no access or control over  these cookies that may be used by third party advertisers. However, you  can opt out of some, though likely not all, of these cookies in one easy  location at http://ww.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

Links to Third Party Websites
We have included links on this website for your use and reference. We  are not responsible for the privacy policies on these websites. You  should be aware that the privacy policies of these websites may differ  from our own.

Comments Policy
As you know, Web 2.0 is all about the conversation.  But without a few simple ground rules, that conversation can turn into a shouting match that discourages others from entering into the fray.

So here is CoolStoreStuff.Club comments policy. By posting on my blog, you agree to the following:

You may comment without registering. You can log-in  via Disqus, OpenID, Twitter, Facebook—or not at all. It’s up to you. You may post anonymously. I don’t recommend this, but you may do so if you  wish. I may change this rule if it is abused.

You may post follow-up questions. If you have a  question, chances are you are not alone. Others are likely thinking  similarly. Therefore, I would rather receive your comments on CoolStoreStuff.Club than via email. It is a better use of my time to address everyone  at once rather than answer several similar emails.

You may disagree with me. I welcome debate. However, I  ask that if you disagree with me—or anyone else, for that matter—do so  in a way that is respectful. In my opinion, there is way too much  shouting in the public square to tolerate it here.

CoolStoreStuff.Club reserves the right to delete your  comments. This is my blog. I don’t have an obligation to publish your comments. The First Amendment gives you the right to express your  opinions on your blog not mine.

Specifically, I will delete your comments if you post  something that is, in my sole opinion, (a)snarky; (b) off-topic; (c)  libelous, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, profane,  pornographic, offensive, false, misleading, or which otherwise violates  or encourages others to violate my sense of decorum and civility or any  law, including intellectual property laws; or (d) “spam,” i.e., an  attempt to advertise, solicit, or otherwise promote goods and services.  You may, however, post a link to your site or your most recent blog  post.

You retain ownership of your comments. I do not own  them and I expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership  rights in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and  all liability that may result from those postings.

You grant CoolStoreStuff.Club a license to post your  comments. This license is worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and  royalty-free. You grant me the right to store, use, transmit, display,  publish, reproduce, and distribute your comments in any format, including but not limited to a blog, in a book, a video, or  presentation.

In short, my goal is to host interesting  conversations with caring, honest, and respectful people. I believe this  simple comments policy will facilitate this.
