you for a while

Effective Date: July 19, 2007

How do we use your information?

We only use the information provided by you to answer your requests, discuss your feedback, or otherwise personally communicate with you regarding your experience of our website. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise disgrace ourselves by sharing your information with others. If, in the future, we offer newsletters that are delivered to an email address you provide us with (and authorize for sending such messages), we will hold ourselves to the same high standard: we won’t sell, trade, or use the email address provided for any reason other than that for which it was intended.  If you leave a comment, I will usually drop you an email just to say hi.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

At this time, YouForAWhile.com only collects information that you send to us via a comment, so it is your choice as to what information we receive. If this changes (for example, if we open a web form for you to submit data to us) we will make modifications to this document to specify what will be collected and how it will be used by us to improve our services or offerings.

Do we use “cookies”?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

The personally identifiable information that may be linked to a cookie includes only your computer’s IP address.

We use a third-party tracking service called Google Analytics that uses cookies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate such as usage and volume statistics (e.g. identification of our web traffic sources, our content usage and performance, etc.) to help us improve our site and understand where our web traffic is coming from.

Some of our business partners (e.g. advertisers) may use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by YouForAWhile.com only and does not cover the user of cookies by any advertisers.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services may not function properly.

Access to Personally Identifiable Information

If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire to have your personal information (your email address or a comment you left) displayed on our site, you may correct, update, delete, or deactivate it by contacting us.

Publicly Displayed Information

If you post a comment on this web site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of our site. If you provide your contact information in your comment (not in the form to submit the comment, this is private and only seen by YouForAWhile.com staff…which is really just China2Ny) other viewers of the site will be able to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit with testimonials and bylines.

We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including if a specific link does not work).

Changes in this Privacy Statement

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, and/or other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here or by email.
