		1. SKINNYPIGEON'S PRIVACY POLICY -- OVERVIEW: SkinnyPigeon is a privacy conscious organisation and is strongly committed to your right to privacy. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. We will use our best efforts to ensure that the information you submit to us remains private, and is used only for the purposes as set forth herein. 2. THE FOLLOWING REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU: This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the SkinnyPigeon website. 3. INFORMATION ABOUT ALL SKINNYPIGEON VISITORS: In general, we gather information about all of our visitors collectively, such as what areas visitors visit most frequently and what services visitors access the most. We only use such data anonymously and in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our visitors, and how we can continually create a better overall experience for you. We may share this information with our partners, but only in the aggregate, so that they too may understand how SkinnyPigeon visitors use our site, so they may create a better overall experience for you, as well. 4. INFORMATION ABOUT YOU SPECIFICALLY: In some instances, when you submit a work request, post a message on our Forums, or purchase a service, for example, we may need more specific information about you, such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, etc. If you give us permission, we may use that information to make you aware of additional products and services that may be of interest to you or to contact you regarding site changes. During your visit to SkinnyPigeon, we may also ask you for other information, such as information on your interests, your likes and dislikes regarding the site, the types of jobs you are interested in, etc., in an effort to deliver to you the best possible site experience. 5. GENERAL INFORMATION DISCLOSURE: Except as described in this privacy policy, we do not disclose information about your individual visits to SkinnyPigeon, or personal information that you provide, such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, personal references, etc., to any outside parties, except when we believe it is required by law or to protect SkinnyPigeon, our visitors or others. But, we may record and share aggregated information with our partners. Also, if you input your information on a co-branded registration page, such as that of a SkinnyPigeon and partner company promotion, then your information becomes the property of both SkinnyPigeon and the partner co-sponsoring the promotion. In that instance, the use of your personal information by our partner company will be subject to the privacy policy of that company and SkinnyPigeon is not responsible for their use of your personal information. We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include hosting our web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These other companies will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that information with any third party. 6. UPDATING FORUM ACCOUNT INFORMATION: SkinnyPigeon allows you to change or correct your personal Forum information at any time. To do so, simply log into your SkinnyPigeon Forum account, go to your account profile, and you will find options for editing the information you have submitted. Online Order Security When you place an order online, your personal details and credit card information are scrambled using SSL encryption technology before being sent over the Internet. Although we cannot guarantee encryption or the privacy of your personal details and credit card information, SSL makes it very difficult for your information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred. 7. COOKIES: To enhance your experience at SkinnyPigeon, we use a feature on your Internet browser called a "cookie". Cookies are small files that your Web browser places on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies for remembering user names and passwords and preferences, tracking click streams, and for load balancing. Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster service, consistent, updated results, and a more personalized site experience. You have the option of setting your browser to reject cookies. However, doing this will hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on our site. 8. LOG FILES: SkinnyPigeon captures industry standard information solely for the purposes of analysis. Information contained in log files is intended for internal use only and will not be disclosed to our partners. The aggregate logged information is not linked to any personally identifiable information. 9. FEEDBACK: SkinnyPigeon has an area on the site where you can submit feedback. Any feedback that is submitted through this area becomes the property of SkinnyPigeon. We may use this feedback, such as success stories, for marketing purposes, or to contact you for further feedback on the site. 10. PRIVACY COMMITMENT CHANGES: If we decide to change our privacy commitment for SkinnyPigeon, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. If, at any time, you have questions or concerns about SkinnyPigeon's privacy commitment, please feel free to email us at privacy@skinnypigeon.com.
