Privacy Statement for
College-Butler.com
Please read this Privacy Policy so that you can understand
how we seek to enforce our firm commitment to privacy. Questions
regarding this statement should be directed to web@college-butler.com
We invite you to explore College Butler Inc.com and its affiliated
Web sites included RatemyCollegeDorm.com and RatemyTeamMember.com
Information On This Site
The information gathered by College Butler Inc falls into
two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors
to our Web sites when they register or initiate transactions,
and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate
through our sites. Third party providers featured on or linked
to from our websites, such as vendors of products and services
offered through our sites, may be gathering the same kinds
of information.
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our
visitors, help you navigate between sections, tailor content
to your needs, and measure traffic within our sites, our Web
servers automatically collect limited information about your
computer's connection to the Internet, including your IP address,
when you visit our sites. They also invoke a standard feature
of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign
each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of user ID, which
resides on your computer. The cookie helps give us an idea
of which parts of our site users are visiting and doesn't
actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor
uses to access our site.
Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration,
for example), we won't know who you are, even if we assign
a cookie to your computer. The only personal information a
cookie can contain is information you supply. Our cookies
can't read unrelated data from your computer. Our advertisers
and the third parties that provide products or services through
our sites may also assign their own cookies to your browser,
but we don't control their cookies or their processes, and
they do not regularly share information they gather with us.
To make use of certain features on our Web sites, visitors
need to register and to provide certain information as part
of the registration process. We may also ask for information
from those who buy products or services or conduct other transactions
on our Web sites. We may ask, for example, for your name,
e-mail address, street address, sex, age, city or town, zip
code (and for those who seek to purchase a product or service,
credit card number), and we sometimes request information
on your interest in other topics.
The information you supply may help us to offer you more
personalized features, to tailor our sites to your interests
and make them more useful to you, and to process e-commerce
transactions.
The more we know about our visitors, the more value we can
potentially offer them. Supplying such information is entirely
voluntary. But if you don't supply the information we require,
we may be unable to provide you with services we make available
to other visitors to our sites. For example, while we allow
anyone to read postings in our Bulletin Board / Forums without
registration, asking a question or furnishing an answer requires
registration, which enables visitors to modify their own posts.
And we can't send you targeted e-mail alerting you to a relevant
new service we're offering, or articles on topics of interest
to you if you don't tell us what you're interested in and
give us your e-mail address. Similarly, we can't notify you
that you've been lucky enough to win a prize in a promotional
contest if we don't know how to contact you. Such personal
information is gathered by us only with our users’ knowledge
and active permission and participation.
Our online surveys and contests ask visitors for contact
information (like their e-mail addresses) and demographic
information (like zip code, age, or income level). Demographic
and profile data collected at our site may be shared with
advertisers on an aggregate basis.
We also use customer contact information from the various
registration forms, opt in features and service features to
send the user information about our site, our company and
our affiliates. Users may opt-out of receiving routine future
mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below
As this privacy policy reaffirms, we strive to protect confidentiality
for our visitors. We do reserve the right to use customer
contact and other information when we deem it necessary or
appropriate to comply with applicable laws, rules, or lawful
orders of courts and governmental agencies, to enforce compliance
with the terms and conditions for use of our sites, or to
protect third parties from what we regard as threats of serious
harm.
