Privacy Policy

Introduction.

The following statement describes the policy of Snugglefish Media ("we," "us" and derivatives) with respect to the personal information that we may collect from the users of this website, High-Def Digest. This statement does not apply to any third party entities or their websites to which we may link from time to time. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Information Collection.

Snugglefish Media, LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. We collect information from users of this website in the following ways:

Email Submissions and Tips. We require a user to enter a valid email address when the user submits a tip via our "Tips and Submissions" form. We also retain a copy of all emails sent to us from users of this site. While we will not sell or license the email addresses of our users to any third parties, we reserve the right to send our users occasional updates related to this site.

We also require a user to enter valid email addresses when the user selects the "Email This Post" option with respect to any post. We utilize such emails only in connection with the emailing of a particular post to another user. We do not gather, store or record email addresses entered with respect to this option, we will not submit to any third party email addresses entered with respect to this option, and we will not ourselves use email addresses entered with respect to this option in connection with solicitation, announcements or newsletters.

Forums. We require a valid e-mail address for users who want to participate in our forums area. This allows us to protect our community from abusive postings and provides a verifiable point of contact should legal questions arise. At all times, you have the ability to keep your e-mail address hidden from other users by selecting that option within your user profile.

Also in the forum registration, you have the option of providing some additional information such as occupation, interests, and homepage URL. This information is made available publicly. If you have any concerns about providing this information, simply leave the fields blank and your registration will still be processed

Please remember that any information that is disclosed in our forums area becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any or all personal information.

Amazon Associates. Our site participates in the Amazon Associates program offered by Amazon.com. We are not privy to the type of personal information collected by Amazon.com as a result of a user's purchase of a product through our Amazon Associate pages. This privacy statement does not apply to Amazon.com.

Cookies. A cookie is a packet of information that includes specific information regarding a user of this website. We use cookies for user authentication, user tracking, and maintaining user-specific information. Our cookies are both session-specific and "persistent." Session-specific cookies are designed to ease our users' use and navigation of this website, and may, for example, temporarily retain information entered into an online form. They are deleted when a user closes out of the user's browser. "Persistent" cookies are small files stored on the user's hard drive, and are used by this site to identify returning users. Third party advertisers may place and/or recognize cookies on our site. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies, and this policy does not apply to the practices of such third parties.

Third Party Advertising. Some of the advertisements that appear on this site may be delivered by a third party advertising server. Information about a user's visit to this site, such as number of times the user views an advertisement (but not user name, email address, or other personal user information), is used to serve ads to users on this site.

Server Log. Our servers maintain a history of this site's page requests in a log file. This log contains information regarding our users' internet protocol addresses, browser types, internet service providers, referring addresses, platform types, date and time stamps, and numbers of clicks. We use these log files to analyze the use of our site, administer the site, and track aggregate demographic information. The data contained in these log files are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Information Disclosure.

We not license, sell, or share personal information about our users with third parties or companies unaffiliated with us, except:

- If you have provided us with permission to do so;

- If required by law, and as necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us or this website;

- If necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of our Terms of Use; and

- If a third party acquires us or this website, or in the event of our merger with a third party, upon which we will make reasonable efforts to notify users before user information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

It’s also important to be aware that when you voluntarily provide personal information (e.g., last name, address, phone number) in a posting on the bulletin board, that information is publicly available and may be used by someone in a manner unintended by you. For that reason, we discourage the offering of any personally identifying information within our forums area.
