OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site
is owned and operated by Vistal Norte. Your
privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Vistal
Norte, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel
you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the
capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses
what information we gather and how we use it.
Definition of the Information Vistal Norte gathers and keeps track of.
Vistal Norte gathers two types of information about users:
- Information that users provide through
optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to
receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message
boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls
and surveys.
- Information Vistal Norte gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites.
This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers'
needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the
demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does Vistal Norte
divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
Vistal Norte 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.
Vistal Norte
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. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time
of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately
for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages,
although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
3.
"E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The
user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient.
This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of
course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is
not used for any other purpose.
4. 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. Vistal Norte 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.
5. Surveys
Vistal Norte 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 sponsors, advertisers
and partners. We never share any of this information about specific
individuals with any third party.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental
consent.
USAGE TRACKING
Vistal Norte tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites.
However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual
users. Vistal Norte 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).
Vistal Norte 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.
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the
only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply
yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites. Vistal Norte uses cookies to track user
traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system delivers a
one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've
set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive
the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate
actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF
INFORMATION
Vistal Norte 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, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the
newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing.
Vistal Norte 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.
Vistal Norte creates aggregate reports on user
demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and
partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and
allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their
needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an
advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their
ad. We will not disclose any information about any individual user
except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to
protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Vistal Norte uses the above-described information to tailor our
content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand
our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service
free. We will not share information about individual users with any
third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process
or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Vistal Norte operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and
privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and
only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by
our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include:
- Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
- Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection
and use of this information by Vistal Norte If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always
