Web Spinners Inc. Gathers User Information
In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require
some type of voluntary submission of personal
information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to
users. Web Spinners Inc. gathers the email
addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe.
Users may remove themselves from this mailing
list by following the link provided in every newsletter
that points users to the subscription management
page.
2. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they
can easily share their opinions with other users
and see what our audience thinks about important
issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are
aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular
user. Web Spinners Inc. may use a system
to "tag" users after they have voted,
so they can vote only once on a particular question.
This tag is not correlated with information about
individual users.
3. Surveys
Web Spinners Inc. may occasionally conduct
user surveys to better target our content to our
audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic
information in these surveys with our selected
partners. We never share any of this information
about specific individuals with any third party.
Usage tracking
Web Spinners Inc. tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about individual
users. Web Spinners Inc. does break down
overall usage statistics according to a user's
domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading
this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser).
Web Spinners Inc. sometimes tracks and catalogs
the search terms that users enter in our Search
function, but this tracking is never associated
with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like
and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but
rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for
you.
USE OF INFORMATION
Web Spinners Inc. uses any information voluntarily
given by our users to enhance their experience
in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the sites or to better
prepare future content based on the interests
of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users
voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic
newsletters and to enable users to participate
in polls, surveys etc. We send out newsletters
to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending
on the newsletter). Web Spinners Inc. never
shares newsletter mailing lists with any third
parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather how
well each page performs overall. This helps us
continue to build a better service for you. We
track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our
users. But we don't track which terms a particular
user enters.

protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies
are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary

the information provided by our customers.
