Please remember that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we don't own or control or to people that we don't employ or manage. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifying information about you. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Karakavatar.nl (the "Site") and not to any other websites linked to or from Karakavatar.nl.

COLLECTION AND USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

1.1. When You Register

During the process of registering to become a Member on the Site, you may be required to provide personally identifying information ("Personal Information") such as your name, email address, and password. You may also be required to provide information that does not personally identify you such as a display name, birth date, gender, and postal code. The default functionality of the Site (excluding any content that Users post or link to on other websites) will never display the Personal Information you provide at registration to other Users of the Site. However, as provided in the Karakavatar.nl Terms of Use, you are solely responsible for all information you post on Karakavatar.nl, communicate to other Users, or post on other websites that you link to or from Karakavatar.nl, including information that would personally identify you. By using Karakavatar.nl, you also understand and agree that Users may use your real name to locate your information and/or to view your profile depending on your profile settings.

1.2. When You Browse the Site

Log Files

Like most standard website servers, we use and maintain the information that we obtain from your browser on our server logs. This information can include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider ("ISP"), and other data. We may use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may associate this information with your Personal Information to resolve technical issues and support security for our Users.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored in a browser-related file on your computer's hard drive when you use the Site.

For example, storing a cookie on your computer may allow you to login without typing the registered email address and password. We may also use cookies to deliver information and fresh content specific to your interests. If you do not want these cookies stored on your computer you can reject cookies by modifying your browser setting accordingly (each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences). However, if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to access products and services that we offer that require you to "login" or "sign in". Please also note that certain types of emails available through the Site may automatically log you into the Site and/or set new cookies when you click on the links in the emails and that you may need to manually remove such cookies if you do not want them to be set on your computer.

1.3. When You Build a Personal Profile

Karakavatar.nl has created tools to enable our Users to not only see what other Users think of you, but also allow you to provide information about yourself. You can use these tools to build a personal profile to share as much or as little information about yourself as you wish. You may also set your profile to be viewable by only friends who know your real name, only registered Site Members, or all Internet users. Except as otherwise noted when you use a specific profile tool, all information that you add to your profile is publicly viewable by other Internet users and may be included in the Site "search" tool. For this reason, please use care in providing information that you may not want to publicly disclose. To protect the privacy of our Users, Karakavatar.nl does not allow the public posting of personal contact information. As provided in our Terms of Use, Karakavatar.nl may use the information you provide in your profile in a variety of Karakavatar.nl products, features, and emails. This enables us to provide you with information in a more personalized fashion.

1.7. When You Participate in Surveys

From time to time, we may request information from our Users via surveys relating to our services or on behalf of our affiliates, scientific collaborators, or third-party advertisers. When you participate in a survey, we may or may not request contact information (such as your name and email address) or demographic information (such as your zip code, age or income level). Karakavatar.nl conducts surveys in order to target advertising and content and to better understand Users' needs and opinions. Karakavatar.nl may share, in aggregate form, information it collects from these surveys with its advertisers, partners, affiliates and the general public, but will not share survey information containing personally identifiable information with any third party without your prior consent. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary, such that you have the choice of whether you wish to disclose the requested information. However, we encourage our Users to participate in these surveys as they provide us with important information that helps us to improve our services or services that may offered on our Site or via email by our affiliates or third-party advertisers.

1.8. When You or Third Parties Contact Us

If you contact Karakavatar.nl by phone, email, letter, or via a form on the Site, we may keep a record of such correspondence. Thus, if you report an issue with the Site, we may collect such information in a file specific to you. Moreover, if you contact us through our feedback area, we may require your name and email address in order to send you a reply. Additionally, if other Users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may keep the information in a file specific to you.

SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF THE INFORMATION THAT Karakavatar.nl COLLECTS

2.1. Confidentiality

Karakavatar.nl only shares your Personal Information with others when we have your permission or under the types of circumstances described in this Privacy Policy. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Information to only those employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or to do their jobs.

2.2. Third Party Advertising

Ads appearing on this Web site may be delivered to Users by Karakavatar.nl or one of our Web advertising partners. Our Web advertising partners may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad servers may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Karakavatar.nl and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

2.3. Scientific Research

By using Karakavatar.nl, you agree to allow us or our scientific collaborators to use the information from you and your experience on the Site to continue our research into how people perceive others. All researchers who receive data from the Site will be required to obtain approval by their home institutions to conduct research with human subjects, and all data provided to such researchers will contain no information that would personally identify you as a User of the Site. This research may be published in academic journals usually in aggregate form that describes the behavior of groups not individuals.

REMOVING YOUR INFORMATION

If you wish to terminate your registered Membership at any time, for any reason, send an email from the address you registered with to with the word "terminate" entered in the subject line. Allow five (5) business days for removal of your information from the Site. Upon removal of membership from the Site, we may retain your Personal Information for a period of time in our internal databases and systems.

THE SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We have instituted physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to store and maintain your Personal Information in a secure environment. You may also be required to use a password to access certain pages on the Site where certain types of your Personal Information can be changed or deleted. It is therefore important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and emails which we may send you and to your computer. You take full responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. Furthermore, while we have implemented safeguards, you should be aware that Internet security technology rapidly changes. We cannot guarantee that the safeguards we employ today can protect your Personal Information from the threats of tomorrow. You should also be aware that despite our efforts, factors beyond our control may result in disclosure of your Personal Information. Accordingly, we are not in a position to guarantee that your Personal Information will be secure under all circumstances.

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE PRIVACY OF MINORS

In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, fair information practices and various state laws, we will not knowingly allow children under the age of fourteen to become Members. If we later learn that a child under the age of fourteen is a Member, then that child's Membership will be terminated. We collect, use and disclose information about minors aged fourteen to seventeen in the same manner as we do for adults. Karakavatar.nl believes that it is especially important to protect children's privacy online and encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children to participate and monitor their Internet activity. If you are under 18, you must first obtain your parent's permission before using the site. We do not filter advertisements or other content that children may receive, such that they could receive content and materials that are inappropriate for children.

Karakavatar.nl may modify the Privacy Policy from time to time and such modification shall be effective upon posting by Karakavatar on the Karakavatar.nl Website. You agree to be bound to any changes to this Privacy Policy when you use the Karakavatar services after any such modification is posted.

If there are significant changes to the Privacy Policy which may affect the compilation, release or dissemination of your information contained on the Site we will notify you at the email address you provided upon registering and/or by posting a notice on Karakavatar.nl for a period of thirty (30) days.
