Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the MADLIX website ("Site"). This notice describes only our on line information collection and use practices at this Site; it doesn't apply to information we collect about you off line (such as over the phone) or in different situations (such as through email correspondence).

This privacy policy is effective as of October 1, 2006. In the future, our Site or our practices may change, and if appropriate, we will revise this Privacy Policy to reflect the changes. We'll post the updated version here, and we'll notify you if we think the changes will significantly impact the treatment of information you have already provided.

Information We Collect

You provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your name and email address) to MADLIX when choosing to participate in various activities on the Site such as chat, posting messages, tips, sending invitations, feedback and more.

You may choose to disclose information about yourself in our on line forums, comments or more. Information that you disclose in these areas is public information, and will be accessible to anyone who uses the Site.

This Site uses passive tracking technologies to log non-identifiable information such as IP address, browser type and Site usage. We may also employ "cookies" or similar technologies that provide additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. You can set your browser to reject cookies, but if you do, some features on the Site may not function normally.

How We Use This Information

We use the information to respond to your requests and provide customer service, to remit revenue share payments, process credit card payments, let you know about new features and other news from MADLIX, ask for your input and feedback on what we are doing, provide personalized services and recommendations, and as may otherwise be described in this Privacy Policy or at the time that we collect information from you.

We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally identifiable site usage data to improve the quality and design of the Site and to create new features, promotions, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing user preferences and trends.

We may also combine the information you submit to us with information we have collected from you in other forums, such as through emails or off line, or with publicly available information or information we obtain from third parties.

When We Might Disclose Information

As part of our regular business conduct, we may share information with companies or individuals providing services or acting on our behalf, such as companies providing technological or fulfillment services. In the event that there is a change of corporate ownership, the new owners will of course be provided with our files, including information you have submitted. We will also share information with government officials, including law enforcement officials or court authorities, in order to cooperate with a legitimate investigation.

Unless we tell you first, or unless it is part of a specific program or feature in which you have elected to participate, we do not share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their own commercial or marketing purposes.

Links and Third Party Ads

From time to time we may include at the Site links to other websites as a service to you. The third party sites are operated by companies that are outside of our control, and your activities at those sites will be governed by the policies and practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of these third parties before disclosing any personally identifiable information, as we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

We allow third party advertisers to post advertisements on our Site. These third parties may place cookies on certain pages of our Site. We do not control those third parties, or their cookies. This privacy policy does not cover those third party advertisers' use of cookies.

Security

We use standard and reasonable technological and procedural measures to protect the information you provide. We urge you to protect your password by not sharing it with anyone else, and to take measures to prevent it from unauthorized access or disclosure. For example, select number and letter combinations that would be difficult for a third party (or hacking program) to determine, and do not write down your password next to your computer.

Your Options

If you are receiving MADLIX email advertisements and no longer wish to receive those email messages, you may opt out at the time you receive the message by following the instructions in that email. Please allow ten business days for your request to be processed.

If you do not agree with the privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy, it may be best to limit your level of interaction with our Site, which could include simply not providing us with personal information. While this will limit the services that our Site is able to provide, most of the services will remain. This option may be best for those who do not wish to provide the mandatory information required to set up an account.

For questions or concerns regarding the use of personal information you submit to us, please contact us.
