Privacy Policy
MySF Commitment To Your Privacy
This site is owned and operated by MySF . Your privacy on the Internet is of the
utmost importance to us. At MySF, we want to make your experience online satisfying
and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should
fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that
information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how
we use it.
Information MySF Gathers and Tracks
MySF gathers two types of information about users:
-
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are
voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our
message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and
surveys:
-
Information MySF gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly
by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better
tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better
understand the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does MySF divulge
any information about an individual user to a third party.
MySF Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission
of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (dispatches)
In the future we plan to offer a free electronic newsletter to users. MySF gathers
the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves
from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points
users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters
at the time of registration.
2. "E-mail this to a friend" service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to
someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their
email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in
the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent
the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
3. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions
with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions
or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular
user. MySF may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote
only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information
about individual users.
4. Surveys
MySF may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience.
We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with
our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about
specific individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA),
we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone
under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
MySF tracks user traffic patterns throughout our site. However, we do not correlate
this information with data about individual users.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer.
The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable
us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and
knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites. MySF uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as
described above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track
ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser
to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with
each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However,
you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and
surveys.
Use of Information
MySF uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience
in our site, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site
or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send
out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys,
message boards, and forums.
Sharing of Information
MySF uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs.
We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except
to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
Security
MySF operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed
and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information
provided by our customers.

MySF Pty. Ltd. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
