Information Collection and Use
Keldan Media Group, Inc. is the sole owner of information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent
this information to others in ways different from what is
disclosed in this statement. TruckSeries.com collects or
reserves the right to collect information from our users at
several different points on our website.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is
in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the
cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time. If a user rejects the
cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to
this is that the user will be limited in some areas. For
example, the user will not be able to participate in any of
our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take
place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the
interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for
example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or
control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked
to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual, unless the
individual provided consent during registration of services.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a
credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
We partner with other parties to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share
names, or other contact information that is necessary for
the third party to provide these services. These parties are
not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we at TruckSeries.com are not responsible for the
privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys and Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has
a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information (such
as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Connect with Friends
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a
friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and
email address. TruckSeries.com will automatically send the
friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site.
TruckSeries.com stores this information for the sole purpose
of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact
TruckSeries.com to request the removal of this information
from their database.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online and
off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or
social security number), that information is encrypted and
is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order
form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. Our
employees must use password-protected screen-savers when
they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as
any time new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy,
and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is
protected.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor
the site to an individual's preference, we combine
information about the purchasing habits of users with
similar information from our partners, Company Y & Company
Z, to create a personalized user profile. When a user makes
a purchase from either of these two companies, the companies
collect and share that purchase information with us so we
can tailor the site to our users' preferences.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password
and username. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we
present the option to not receive these types of
communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes
(such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our
service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct,
update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member information page or
by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having
their information used for purposes not directly related to
our site at the point where we ask for the information.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or
promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of
receiving these communications by following the un-subscribe
instructions in the e-mail or email us at TruckSeries.com.
Please note that by removing your name from the newsletter
database, you may be ineligible for certain promotions and
other offers.
Users of our site are always notified when their information
is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our
users can make an informed choice as to whether they should
proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a
manner different from that stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
