Privacy Policy and Terms of
Use
Last Updated: June 2, 2008
Privacy Policy
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com strives to offer its visitors the
many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an
interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy
policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address
to any unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you
are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate
and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for access to certain
portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide
information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests,
message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of
our site. Like most Web sites, Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com also
collects information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For
example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider
or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information
from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your
user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number
of times you encounter a particular advertisement while
visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may
also gather information through other means. In certain cases,
you can choose not to provide us with information, for example
by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you
do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or
may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we
may not be able to customize the site’s features according to
your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance
your visit and deliver more individualized content and
advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your
information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar
information obtained from other users to help enhance our site
and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or
what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business
partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone
to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com and other topics we think you might
find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com may also be used for other purposes,
including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other
communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such information. We
will use your information only as permitted by law. In
addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our
business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information
may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times when
we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in
connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us,
and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you
with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com expects its partners, advertisers
and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware,
however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection policies and practices. For example, during your
visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame
on a Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com you may be introduced to, or be able
to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com
is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third
parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of
those third parties when providing information on a feature or
page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to
attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our advertising is
served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available on our site may
offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information.
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com does not control the use of this
technology by third parties or the resulting information, and
is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third
parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in
chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be
collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and
may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or
third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com and this policy.
Children
Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com does not knowingly collect or
solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about
children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we
have received any information from a child under 13 in
violation of this policy, we will delete that information
immediately. If you believe Fishing-Trip-Advisor.com has any
information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at

policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for
changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting
of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.

will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at
the time the information was collected.
