receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from Best of Tulsa and/or any third parties. Further, notwithstanding any opt out of promotional information by the user,
Best of Tulsa reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected. Best of Tulsa
reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as
the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Best of Tulsa will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties. Also, users should be aware that Best of Tulsa
may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services through a Best of Tulsa site. Best of Tulsa is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users
should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information. Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information
(e.g., user name, e-mail address) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas of the Best of Tulsa sites, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected
and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Best of Tulsa. Users also should be aware that non-personal
information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of Best of Tulsa's internet servers or through the use of "cookies." "Cookies" are small text files a web site can
use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted
advertising. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Users should be
aware that Best of Tulsa cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for Best of Tulsa. If a user does not want information collected through the use of

customized delivery of information) available on the Best of Tulsa Site. Upon request, Best of Tulsa will allow any user to "opt out" of further promotional contacts at any time. Additionally upon request,
Best of Tulsa will use reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct personal information previously submitted which the user states is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or
security interests. Also, upon a user's request, Best of Tulsa will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and his or her personal information from its database; however, it may be
impossible to delete a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions. The foregoing policies are effective as of June 15, 1998. Best of Tulsa reserves the right to change
this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of a new privacy statement. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or
on behalf of any party. |
