These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters,
to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and
from participation in polls and surveys:
Information Skyline - Banner Advertising gathers through aggregated
tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout
our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to
readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better
understand the demographics of our audience. Because Skyline - Banner
Advertising derives its revenue mainly from sponsorships and
advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is essential to
keeping our service free to users. Under no circumstances does Skyline
- Banner Advertising divulge any information about an individual user
to a third party.

Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information

voluntary submission of personal information by users:
Privacy Policy Sample
The following is a list of different policies which can be edited to
remove the parts of the policy that are not needed. You should also add
anything to this policy template that you may have on your site.
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users.Skyline - Banner
Advertising gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily
subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by
following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to
the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the
newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums policy
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately
for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages,
although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The
user must provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their
opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about
important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated
and are not identifiable to any particular user. Skyline - Banner
Advertising may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so
they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not
correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
Skyline - Banner Advertising may occasionally conduct user surveys to
better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the
aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors,
advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about
specific individuals with any third party.
Privacy Policy Template changes
The policy clause about children below is becoming more important as it
is nearly impossible to tell the age of any visitor. We recommend
adding this sample line to all your forms that request information.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental
consent.
Usage tracking
Skyline - Banner Advertising tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with
data about individual users. Skyline - Banner Advertising does break
down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name,
browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the
browser string (information contained in every user's browser).
Skyline - Banner Advertising sometimes tracks and catalogs the search
terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is
never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but
rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to
build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the
only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. Skyline - Banner Advertising uses
cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our
advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad
impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've
set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive
the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate
actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

USE OF INFORMATION
Skyline - Banner Advertising uses any information voluntarily given by
our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether
to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to
better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in
order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to
participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the
newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing.
Skyline - Banner Advertising never shares newsletter mailing lists with
any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites
users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many
measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a
particular user enters.
Skyline - Banner Advertising creates aggregate reports on user
demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and
partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively,
and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to
their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual
users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user
clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about any
individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Skyline - Banner Advertising uses the above-described information to
tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better
understand our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping
our service free. We will not share information about individual users
with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid
legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
SECURITY
Skyline - Banner Advertising operates secure data networks protected by
industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our
security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as
necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY

include:
Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.

completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users
