Boords.com Privacy Policy: If you require privacy, the best way to protect your privacy is by using an anonymous e-mail and user name when you sign up. In this day and age, you must be responsible for taking steps to protect your privacy, if you require privacy. Your e-mail address may be visible, especially when the feature to allow members to e-mail each other is turned on. But you may sign-up for Boords.com or any of its forums anonymously, using an anonymous email address, and pseudonym, for your privacy. In fact, we encourage that, especially at first. Others like to be more public and feel that knowing others via the message board can be a great help, supportive, educational and fun.

We collect certain information at registration, but it is not our intention to share this information with any third parties. Our software interacts with Facebook and other social networks so we do not have total control over all aspects of privacy. You must examine all your settings and use them as you need to for privacy protection. In these days of hacking, spamming, and flaming we can only do the best we can. We will not intentionally give your e-mail address or other information to any third party.

Security: We are only as secure as Vbulletin’s software, which we believe is excellent. User identifiable information is information which can be associated with a specific individual or entity, including, for example, a user's name, other information voluntarily given, or a user’s activity. We will let you control this information using your Vbulletin settings at Boords.com. We will also safeguard your information and the website to the best of our ability.

E-mail: You may be e-mailed from Boords.com if you have joined any of the forums. E-mails will be mostly to inform you of responses to your posts. But at times, e-mails will be used for other administrative purposes, reminders, or rarely for new services. If we feel we need to allow user information to be seen during programming or updating we will request confidentiality from our workers. We will do our best not to release access to information.

Disclosure: Boords.com will, however, disclose customer identifiable information as required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process or in the event that such customer is engaging in unlawful use of our Web site.

General: We can never completely ensure that all of your identifiable information will never be disclosed, as regulatory and/or other requirements, accidents, hacks, or other problems may make disclosure necessary with our permission, or without it.

Archiving: Anything posted to the message forums can be collected and reposted as webpages or in other formats for use by Boords.com or its related websites.

Avoidance of Lawsuits: We want to repeat, that although we will try, there is no such thing as "perfect Internet security." By using Boords.com you agree that you will not be litigious; that you will not sue anyone owning, running, or volunteering at Boords.com to the fullest extent that such a general statement is allowed by law.

Cookies: Boords.com does use cookies. When you visit any forum on Boords.com, we may store information on your computer that allows us to identify you immediately, which is called a "cookie." This is normal Internet practice, and is a very small text file on the user’s hard disk, specific to you.

Other Web sites: We cannot be responsible for the links to other websites. We cannot be responsible for their content or privacy policies. We cannot be responsible for security problems at other sites.

Advertisements: Advertisements may appear on pages throughout our Web site. Some advertisements may request information directly from our customers or take our customers to Web sites that may request personal information. Boords.com has no control over its advertisers' privacy policies, so please examine the privacy policy of any company advertising on our Web site prior to submitting any personal information.

Third Party Advertising Companies: We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. We have no control over what these third parties do and you must refer to their privacy policies.

Policy Changes: Boords.com reserves the right to change its privacy policy by publishing new terms on its Web site at any time and your access and use of any forum at Boords.com hereafter constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of such amended policy. This privacy policy does not create any legal right for you or any third parties.
