Privacy Policy
This privacy statement is applicable to P.T. The Clown
(herein known as P.T. The Clown) and all of its affiliates.
P.T. The Clown does not knowingly collect any personally
identifiable information from children under the age of 13. P.T. The Clown
policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. P.T. The Clown
does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals
except when such individuals specifically provide such information on
a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable information
may be gathered from a contest or sweepstakes registration, the purchase
of products or services offered on the site, the registration process
for subscription sites or services and in connection with content submissions,
community postings (e.g., chat and bulletin boards), suggestions, voting/polling
activities and transactional areas. Personally identifiable information
on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated
third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection
but may be shared with the applicable online partner collecting such personally
identifiable information. At such points of collection, the user may have
the opportunity to indicate whether he or she would like to "opt
out" of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about
other products, services and offerings from P.T. The Clown and/or any
third parties.
Further, notwithstanding any opt out of promotional
information by the user, P.T. The Clown reserves the right to contact
a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement
and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information
collected. P.T. The Clown may disclose user information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally)
P.T. The Clown rights or property, other users, or anyone else that could
be harmed by such activities. P.T. The Clown may disclose user information
when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. P.T. The Clown
reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and
characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various
areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well
as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising
banners. P.T. The Clown will provide only aggregated data from these analyses
to third parties. Also, users should be aware that P.T. The Clown might
sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based
services through P.T. The Clown site. P.T. The Clown is not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check
the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally
identifiable information.
Users should be aware that when you are on P.T. The
Clown site you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control.
There are links to other sites from P.T. The Clown site that take you
outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner
advertisement, the "click" takes you off P.T. The Clown site.
This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use
a logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send
their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information.
Always be aware of where you end up. Additionally, users should be aware
that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information
(e.g., user name, e-mail address) on bulletin boards or in the chat areas
of P.T. The Clown site, if any, that information, along with any substantive
information disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected and
correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages
from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control
of P.T. The Clown.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information
and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation
of NetSet Solutions internet servers or through the use of "cookies."
Cookies are small text files a web site can use to recognize repeat users,
facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the site and allow
a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow
content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs
that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work
by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the
assigning site. Users should be aware that P.T. The Clown cannot or does
not control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers
or third parties hosting data for P.T. The Clown. If a user does not want
information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure
in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature;
however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the
user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information and
ordering on the ecommerce shopping cart) available on P.T. The Clown site.
P.T. The Clown will use reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct
personal information previously submitted which the user states is erroneous
to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security
interests. Also, upon a user's request, P.T. The Clown will use commercially
reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and his or her personal
information from its database; however, it may be impossible to delete
a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and
records of deletions.
The importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We
exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information
from your PC to our servers, utilizing encryption software. Only those
employees who need access to your information in order to do their jobs
are allowed access, each having signed compressive nondisclosure agreements,
which provides explicit legal confidentiality protections. Any employee
who violates our privacy and/or security policies is subject to disciplinary
action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
P.T. The Clown reserves the right to change this policy
at any time. Substantive changes to this privacy statement will be noticed
by posting notice of such changed policy on this page. Please check this
page regularly. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not
intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in
or on behalf of any party. By using this site, you signify your assent
to P.T. The Clown Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy,
please do not use our site. Your continued use of P.T. The Clown site
following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those
changes. Questions regarding this statement should be directed to:
