Privacy Policy

Collection of Data

Hockeydb.com does not gather personal information from anyone visiting this site, with the exception of optional information on the discussion forums. The information entered there is never used for any purposes other than the discussion forums. You may choose to post anonymously on the discussion forums. You do not have to provide your e-mail, and if you do choose to give it, you can shield others from seeing it. Although e-mail addresses are stored, we do not harvest any e-mail addresses from the forum, and we will never make your e-mail available to any third party.

Hockeydb does not perform mass-mailings to its forum members. The only time you may receive e-mail from Hockeydb.com is when you elect to receive notification of a response to your forum topic. Such an election is opt-in -- you must actively check the box that allows an e-mail reminder to be sent to you.

We receive general information that is contained in server log files, such as your IP address, and cookie information.

From time to time cookies may be written to your computer. A cookie is simply a unique number placed on your device that lets us know if you have previously been to the site. Most commercial sites such as Microsoft.com use cookies. There is no way for us to gather any information about you from this cookie other than knowing if you have visited the site in the past.

A cookie is written when you view the forum software, VBulletin. This is a canned package which uses cookies to keep track of your user ID on your computer, and to tell you which messages are new to you.

Hockeydb.com is only able to survive because of the advertising revenue it receives. Several of the banner advertising companies use cookies to track the number of ads you see, limiting you to seeing a certain number of ads per session. Information about how advertising may be served on this site (if it is indeed the site editor's policy to display advertising) is described below.
