Privacy Statement

TerpTorah is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the TerpTorah Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the TerpTorah website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

TerpTorah collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. TerpTorah also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by TerpTorah. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by TerpTorah for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the TerpTorah Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through TerpTorah public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: TerpTorah does not read any of your private online communications.

TerpTorah encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from TerpTorah so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. TerpTorah is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the TerpTorah and TerpTorah family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

TerpTorah collects and uses your personal information to operate the TerpTorah Web site and deliver the services you have requested. TerpTorah also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from TerpTorah and its affiliates. TerpTorah may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

TerpTorah does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. TerpTorah may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, TerpTorah may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to TerpTorah, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

TerpTorah does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

TerpTorah keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within TerpTorah, in order to determine what TerpTorah services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within TerpTorah to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

TerpTorah Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on TerpTorah or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of TerpTorah; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of TerpTorah, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The TerpTorah Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a 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. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize TerpTorah pages, or register with TerpTorah site or services, a cookie helps TerpTorah to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same TerpTorah Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the TerpTorah features that you customized.

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 prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the TerpTorah services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

TerpTorah secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. TerpTorah secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

TerpTorah will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. TerpTorah encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how TerpTorah is protecting your information.

TerpTorah welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe that TerpTorah has not adhered to this Statement, please contact TerpTorah at rabbioz@gmail.com. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
