Privacy Notice
Privacy Policy
Revised December 2005
Depending on what you do when you visit any web site, you are providing information about your visit to the site's owners. This includes SKREW.com. We value privacy and think you do too, so we want you to have the information you need to make your own decisions about your personal privacy. When you visit or supply information to any web site, we think it's a good idea for you to first understand what that site's privacy policies are. If the site doesn't tell you, don't hesitate to ask.
The bottom line at SKREW.com
and its related sites (collectively "SKREW.com")
is that we use the information that we get from your visit
for internal tracking purposes, to make SKREW.com as useful
and interesting to you as we can, and to respond to your
requests for information or other services. Except as
specifically noted, we do not use your personal information
for any other purpose; we never sell it to any third party;
and, we never share it with any third party.

What personal information we collect and how we use your information:
When
you visit the SKREW.com web site, we capture the internet
provider's domain name and country that you came from (e.g.,
'aol.com') and the paths taken as you move from page to
page (i.e., your "click stream" activity).
Information
we collect on SKREW.com may be used to enhance your use
of this web site in ways like these:
- Arrange
the web site in the most user-friendly way
- Customize
your browsing experience of this web site
- Communicate
special offers and featured items to you, if you choose
to receive such notices
- Respond
to your question or suggestions
Visitor Registration or Requests for Information:
SKREW.com
only collects personal information that you choose to provide
voluntarily when using or registering with the SKREW.com
site. "Personal information" includes information
that can identify you as a specific individual, such as
your name or email address; and, in the case of license
agreements, your name and company name. While you can browse
our site without registering, you will need to register
in order to take advantage of certain features, such as
requesting updates on promotional offers or simply to place
an order.
SKREW.com
will on occasion ask you to voluntarily submit information
about other people. For example, you might be asked to submit
a person's email address to inform them about a sweepstakes
or contest offered on SKREW.com. The type of personally
identifiable information that may be requested about other
people may include the person's name and email address.
SKREW.com may use this information to inform them about
a sweepstakes or contest.
Browsing and the use of Cookies:
SKREW.com
uses cookie technology as part of our web site's statistical
reporting. A cookie is a small piece of information sent
by a website that is saved on your hard disk by your computer's
browser. It holds information a site may need to personalize
your experience and to gather web site statistical data,
such as which pages are visited, what is downloaded, the
internet provider's domain name and country that our visitors
come from (e.g. 'aol.com,' or 'umich.edu') and the addresses
of sites visited immediately before, and after, coming to
SKREW.com. However, none of this is associated with you
as an individual. It is measured only in aggregate. The
information in the cookies lets us trace your "click
stream" activity (i.e., the paths taken by visitors
to our site as they move from page to page). Cookies do
not capture your individual email address or any private
information about you.
We
also use standard web server log files to help us count
visitors and evaluate our site's technical capacity. We
use this information to find out how many people visit SKREW.com,
help us arrange the pages in the most user-friendly way,
keep the site browser-friendly, and to make our pages more
useful to our visitors. We record information on site traffic
but not information on individual visitors to our site,
so no information about you in particular will be kept or
used.
To
browse without cookies, you can configure your browser to
reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set.
(Each browser is different, so check the "Help"
menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie
preferences.)
Sweepstakes, Trivia Games, and Surveys:
From
time to time, SKREW.com may conduct sweepstakes, trivia
games, or surveys via our web site. If you choose to participate,
we use your response to select sweepstakes winners, to come
up with the game or survey results and, sometimes, to publish
those results in aggregate on the site. Except where necessary
to run a sweepstakes, we will never permanently record or
report any response you give on its own or connect it to
your name or address. We will hold these responses only
as anonymous statistics. We will never sell or rent such
information to any third parties.
Email, Mailing Lists, and Other Services:
When
you send us an email, we use your email address to thank
you for your comment and/or reply to your question, and
we will store your communication and our reply in case we
correspond further. Beyond our initial reply, we will never
use your email address to send you any unsolicited message
or information, nor will we share it with or sell it to
anyone else for such use.
When
you request information or other services, we use your email
address and any other information you give us to provide
you with the information or other services you requested
until you ask us to stop (using the 'unsubscribe' instructions
provided with each email and/or on the site where you signed
up and/or as we otherwise provide), or until the information
or service is no longer available. We will not use your
address or other information to provide you with any unsolicited
message or information (unless that is part of the service
you are requesting), nor will we share it with or sell,
rent or lease it to any third party for such use.
Linking To Other Sites:
Please
remember that when you use a link to go from SKREW.com to
another web site, the SKREW.com Site Rules and this Privacy
Policy are no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction
on any other web site, including any site that has a link
on SKREW.com, is subject to the rules and policies of that
site. We encourage you to read the rules and policies of
the sites you visit to further understand their procedures
for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.
