1. Acknowledgment and acceptance of
terms
Liquid Reality Studios is committed
to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement sets forth our current
privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your
computer interact with our website. By accessing Professionalcar.org, you
acknowledge and fully understand Liquid Reality Studios’ Privacy Statement and
freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in
this Website Privacy Statement.
2. Participating Merchant Policies
Related services and offerings with
links from this website, including vendor sites, have their own privacy
statements that can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding links within
each respective website. Online merchants and others who participate in Liquid
Reality Studios services are encouraged to participate in industry privacy
initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy.
However, since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of
participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the
privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage that
you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties
before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with
such parties.
3. Information We Collect and How We
Use It
Liquid Reality Studios collects
certain information from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web
Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
1. a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may
track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of
information we may track include:
b. Use of Cookies
Liquid Reality
Studios/Professionalcar.org may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a
Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of
cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if
you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this
simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation
by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as
providing personalized functionality..
Liquid Reality Studios reserves the
right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not
allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a
temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into p a site that relies
on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or
decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can
usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies
by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of
the functionality on our Website.
1. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register
to purchase services. When you make a purchase, we will request some personal
information such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile number,
account number and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service,
we will request financial information. Any financial information we collect is
used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit
card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other
types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also
be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in
order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally
identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your
permission except to the extent necessary including:
4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
Liquid Reality Studios Web pages may
contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called
single-pixel gifs – that allow Liquid Reality Studios to count users who have
visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Liquid Reality Studios
may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order
to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be
placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of
our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be
used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer.
This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit
certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those
page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. Liquid
Reality Studios prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your
personal information.
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means
to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account file is
correct and current. You may review this information by contacting us by
sending an email to our support attendant – webmaster@professionalcar.org
6. Changes to this Statement
Liquid Reality Studios has the
discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will
also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage
you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we
are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use
of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any
updates.
