Privacy Policy for Equation.com
The privacy of our visitors to Equation.com is important to us.
At Equation.com, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit Equation.com, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties. Please note that this policy applies only to us, and not to other companies or organizations or their web sites to which we may provide links. LOG FILES As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site. ANONYMOUS SEARCH We never collect information that identifies you personally, such as your name or email address, each time you use our search services to submit a query. We collect your IP address, referral data, and browser and platform type. We use log files to collect and store this anonymous user information. COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums. We also use third party advertisements on Equation.com to support our site. When Equation.com uses more than one advertisement network, our server rotates the advertisements. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (i.e., through the Microsoft pubCenter Beta program, and Yahoo! Publisher Network beta program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, your personal preferences or interest or whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites) or your interest. You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
