Your  Privacy

Sandstorm Consulting Services has a firm commitment to privacy. We take your  privacy concerns seriously and want to make every effort to address those  concerns. That is why we have adopted the following policy on  information-gathering and disclosure.

Your Personal Information

From time to time, we will ask for information that personally identifies  you, as in our user surveys or registration for Sandstorm Consulting Services  services such as e-mail, forums, or promotions. We use this information to  operate our services, provide you with the highest quality services and offer  you opportunities we think will be of interest.

We will not disclose any personal information without your advance permission  except when we believe the law requires us to do so or the disclosure is  necessary to protect the rights or property of Sandstorm Consulting Services.

In order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers and  others, we may disclose user information but only in a form that does not  identify individual users. For example, we might disclose that a certain  percentage of our users are male or within a certain age range.

Occasionally, we may disclose personal information in other circumstances,  but we will only do this if we have explained at the time we collect the  information the purpose for which it will be disclosed.

Children's Privacy

Sandstorm Consulting Services is particularly concerned with providing a safe  online environment for children. Sandstorm Consulting Services strongly  recommends parental supervision when a child uses the Internet, and particularly  when a child enters a forum or uses e-mail.

We also encourage parents to instruct their children not to give out personal  information in these areas. A number of commercial products are available to  help limit your child's access to material on the Internet that you may consider  harmful or inappropriate.

Other services and information providers accessible through our web sites  have their own policies about children's privacy and you should contact them  directly for their policies.

Electronic Commerce

Sandstorm Consulting Services hosts online stores that sell a variety of  goods and services, these stores may collect information from you such as your  name, credit card number and other contact information. Sandstorm Consulting  Services does not collect, use or disclose this information nor does it own or  control the stores or have responsibility for transactions made by those  merchants. If you would like to know more about the information collected when  you participate in electronic commerce on or through this site, please contact  the store merchants directly.

Cookies

A "cookie" is a small data text file that is placed in your browser and  allows us to recognize you each time you visit the site. Cookies themselves do  not contain any personal information. Instead, they allow us to see which parts  of our site you have used so that we can better serve you when you return to our  site. Cookies may be used to provide you with information and special  opportunities tailored to your interests.

Direct Mailings and "Opting Out"

We may send you information about various products and services and mailing  lists. If you don't want to receive this information, you can "opt out" by  sending us an e-mail and requesting that you not receive any of these offers.

Remember The Risks Whenever You Use The Internet

You should know that when you voluntarily disclose personal information on  any web site (for example, in forums or the guest book), that information can be  collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other  people. We cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to  our partners and other Internet sites or services that may be accessible through  our sites. They will have separate data and privacy practices independent of us,  and therefore we disclaim any responsibility or liability for their policies or  actions. Please contact those vendors and others directly if you have any  questions about their privacy policies.
