CraveOnline's Commitment To Privacy
This policy governs the domains
craveonline.com, and satanspace.com.
If you catch one of our interns peeking in your windows,
that's an entirely separate situation.
That sort of thing would be handled by their parents. Or the authorities.
CraveOnline is firmly committed to
protecting the privacy of Internet users and fostering consumer confidence in
the Internet, Internet advertising and direct marketing. We invite all users to
contact us with any questions
or concerns.
What CraveOnline Does
We operate a content portal that
combines the best of entertainment and other interests in one place. We sell
advertisements throughout out site on behalf of advertisers.
CraveOnline Promotions: We develop
customized online promotional campaigns such as sweepstakes and other
incentive-style marketing campaigns.
CraveOnline Mail: CraveOnline operates an e-mail newsletter that it sends to users that
have registered to receive it.
How CraveOnline Products and Services Enhance
User Privacy and Protect the Property of Advertisers and Web Publishers
CraveOnline serves ads throughout our site
and those of our partners. The cookies that are employed across our represented
websites serve a quantitative function and are not designed to collect and
store data profiles on users. They are used to:
• Report to advertisers and Web site
clients the estimated total reach of an ad campaign;
• Report the frequency with which an ad was shown to a user, and other
measurement statistics;
• Ensure that an advertisement displayed to a user corresponds to the correct
click-through destination;
• Deliver a series of advertisements in the proper sequence;
• Limit the number of times a browser is delivered the same advertisement;
• Login registered CraveOnline user accounts
• Log anonymous visitors to our site for the purposes of identifying whether a
visitor is a unique.
Destruction timetable:
user cookies ("users_uid") expire one year after the last time the
user successfully logged in to their CraveOnline account.
anonymous cookies ("tracking_anonid") expire 6 months from the date
of the last visit to CraveOnline.
CraveOnline does not use any of the data
collected via cookies for purposes other than those described above, nor do we
merge personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable
information, or otherwise parse, sort, gather, or aggregate user data for use
elsewhere. Non-PII is collected by CraveOnline through session cookies that terminate
when the browser is closed.
CraveOnline Media thus has no
reason to offer users the choice to "opt-out" of anything that
pertains to ad serving.
What User Information Is Collected
by Email and Promotions
CraveOnline Media collects two
types personally identifiable information only through its Email and Promotions
business lines.
Personally Identifiable Information
("PII")
PII is personal information
classified as personal to the online consumer, such as name, address, phone
number and email address. PII also includes other personal information such as
birthdate, zip code, gender, or lifestyle information.
CraveOnline's Email and Promotions
divisions collect PII on an opt-in basis only. CraveOnline Media will not
collect any PII unless that user voluntarily provides it to us. If you do not
want your personal information collected online, please do not submit it to
surveys, promotions, sweepstakes, or subscriptions.PII is collected by CraveOnline
Media when online users respond to a survey and provide it, when they
register for an email newsletter, register for a product or service online, or
enter a sweepstakes promoted by CraveOnline, its subsidiaries or its partners.
Selected partners of CraveOnline Media will share information with CraveOnline
Media about only their online consumers who have consented to the
sharing of their information with third parties.
Furthermore, each individual in the
CraveOnline Email database has answered positively to an "opt in" question,
or they have voluntarily filled out an Internet survey card to receive email
solicitation about products of interest. CraveOnline Media and its partners
communicate with these users frequently to verify their "opt in"
status. CraveOnline Media also provides users with an explicit opportunity to
opt-out every time an email promotion is sent.
In all instances, prior to providing
PII information to CraveOnline's Email or Promotions divisions, each online user is
given meaningful notice regarding the collection practice and a choice
regarding the dissemination of such information. All users are informed about
how CraveOnline Media and its partners may use such information, including
whether it will be shared with marketing partners or combined with other
information available to CraveOnline. Users will always be offered the choice not to
provide PII or not to have such PII shared with others. CraveOnline Media will
not share this PII information with any partner company if the user indicates
on the registration form the preference to limit the use of such information.
CraveOnline Media does not collect
personal medical information or credit information, or information related to
children, except in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act.
How CraveOnline Media Uses
Collected Information
Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) is used by CraveOnline Media in several ways, as follows:
Promotions and Email divisions use
the PII to deliver permission-based direct marketing messages based on a user's
expressed interests.
If an online user voluntarily
submits its email address to CraveOnline, or one of its partners, online, he or she
may receive periodic emails from CraveOnline Media with information on new
services or products being offered by our company or by one of our partners.

With Whom Collected Information Is
Shared
CraveOnline Media shares the
collected information only as set forth below. CraveOnline Media does not sell
or transfer the ownership of its PII or Non-PII. CraveOnline Media provides
its partners only with access to such information on a limited basis. Before
any access is shared with a partner, CraveOnline Media ensures that such partner
publishes and adheres to strict privacy principles regarding the use of such
information. Any such use is disclosed to the online user at the time such user
submits information.
Personally Identifiable Information
(PII): in cases where an online consumer has consented to have their
information shared with third parties, CraveOnline Media will make access to
the information available to selected third party partners in accordance with
clearly stated guidelines.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII): Access to
Non-PII is shared, in aggregated format, with CraveOnline's Web site and advertiser
clients who use the aggregated data to determine the reach, effectiveness,
future campaign plans, and success of their advertising campaigns. At no time
is this non-PII merged with PII. It is useless to any and all parties except as
quantifiable data to our advertisers and clients who wish to measure the
effectiveness of their campaigns.
Opting Out From GNM Promotions
Database
An online user may request removal of
his or her PII information from GNM's Promotions database by sending an email
to info@craveonline.com.

provide this information online, can send regular mail to the following address:

Once a request to opt-out has been
received, CraveOnline Media will deliver a confirming email message to the
user that the user's PII has been successfully opted out of our database. If
you do not receive this confirmatory email, then please contact us to ensure
that your request was received and processed.
