Bluntdog.com, Inc. respects privacy of Internet Users and does not collect personally identifying information without the Internet User's permission.

This policy applies to the web sites owned and operated by Bluntdog.com ("Bluntdog.com").

Some terms used in this Policy are:

"Cookies" - are pieces of information stored by an Internet User's Internet browser on the user's computer.

"Internet User" - refers to a person who has access to the World Wide Web via a technology enabled device, such as personal computer, handheld, PDA, etc.

"Merchant Partner" - refers to a person or organization that operates a web site that pays Bluntdog.com for a sale, lead or click by an Internet User that referred to Merchant Partner by Bluntdog.com.

Collection of Data
Bluntdog.com does not collect identity or contact information from Internet Users on Bluntdog.com's web sites.

An Internet User's Internet browser may set Cookies (when enabled) that contain small amounts of data on the user's computer after a visit to any web site. Cookies can assist a Merchant Partner in tracking Internet Users' activities beginning from Bluntdog.com's web sites through Merchant Partner's web site. If the Internet User later re-visits our Merchant Partner's site directly, Merchant Partner is able to continue to track the Internet User's activities on the Merchant Partner's site and reward Bluntdog.com that referred the Internet User. Cookies themselves tell neither Bluntdog.com nor Merchant Partner about the Internet User personally.

Cookies could be used in two stages of tracking: when a Merchant Partner's banner image is loaded for viewing on Bluntdog.com's web page by an Internet User and when this banner image is clicked by an Internet User. The function of these Cookies is to provide Merchant Partners with information solely for the purpose of paying Bluntdog.com commissions when an Internet User clicks on a link, creates a lead, or makes a purchase on a Merchant Partner's web site.

Bluntdog.com's servers never instruct Internet Users' Internet browser to set cookies on Internet Users' computer directly but cookies may be used by our Merchant Partners at their own discretion. Bluntdog.com does not assist Merchant Partners to be able to access each other's cookies. Bluntdog.com does not support "User Profiling".

Bluntdog.com may receive and record partial e-mail addresses of Internet Users from Merchant Partners, only in circumstances where the Internet User has voluntarily provided its identity and contact information through the Merchant Partner's web site. This partial e-mail address does not enable Bluntdog.com to personally identify the Internet User.

If a web site or a Merchant Partner were to provide any personally identifying information to Bluntdog.com beyond name and/or e-mail address, Bluntdog.com would discard that information immediately.

Disabled and Non-functioning Cookies
Bluntdog.com does not employ any technology or means of preventing an Internet User from disabling the acceptance of a Cookie. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but an Internet User's browser may be set by the user to disable this function. Some Web browsers or similar Internet navigating technology may not support (or consistently support) Cookie technology.

Use and Disclosure of Data
Bluntdog.com does not sell or rent personally identifying information. Bluntdog.com does not disclose personally identifying information to anyone that Bluntdog.com is not authorized to do so.

Bluntdog.com reserves the right to release information on Internet Users if compelled to do so by proper judicial or governmental authorities. Disclosure shall be limited to only to those that Bluntdog.com is compelled to disclose to. At present, all information processing occurs in the United States.

Although Bluntdog.com requires Merchant Partners to adhere to Good Business Practices as a condition of affiliate partnership with Bluntdog.com, Bluntdog.com is not responsible for the information practices of Merchant Partners. Merchant Partners may collect information from or about Internet Users, including personal information. The collection, use, and disclosure of information by Merchant Partners are subject to their respective privacy policies, which may differ from Bluntdog.com's Privacy Policy.

Spam
