optimize the Site for you and to diagnose
problems with our Site, we use your IP
address to help identify you and to gather
broad demographic information about you.
Cookies

keep track your complete
activity on the Site and enhance your
experience on the Site. We also use cookies
to deliver content specific to your
interests, to save your password, and if you
choose, to save other personal and financial
information when and if entered for any commercial transactions now or in
future and also so that you do not have to reenter it
each time you visit the Site. Third party
advertisers on the Site may also place or
read cookies on your browser and which is very common with all websites. If you wish to
disable these cookies, the "help" portion of
the toolbar on most browsers (IE and Firefox etc.) will tell you

Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and to provide
you with information about products or
services that may be of interest to you, we
may collect "personal information" (i.e.
information that could be used to contact
you directly (without using the Site) such
as full name, postal address, phone number
or email address), "financial information"
(i.e. credit card numbers or passwords) or
"demographic information" (i.e. information
that you submit, or that we collect, that is
neither personal information nor financial
information; this may include, but is not
limited to, zip code, postal code, hometown,
gender, username, age/birth date, purchase
history information, browsing history
information, searching history information,
registration history information, and the
content of communications between you and
other members over the Site), subject to the
rest of this paragraph. Demographic
information is divided into two categories:
1) "non-public information", which consists
of purchase history information and
one-on-one communications between you and
other users of the Site; and 2) "public
information", which consists of all other
demographic information. We ask that you do
not enter personal information or financial
information into your Profile (for example,
don't use your address or passcode as your
username, or include your name or address in
your written responses), because if you do
then it may be posted publicly on the Site,
and the information will then be treated as
"demographic information" that is "public
information." Please note that nowhere on
the Site do we knowingly collect personal
information from children under the age of
18, as we require that all users represent
to us that they are at least 18 years old.

"Special Cases in which we Share Personal
and Financial Information" to learn more
ways in which we may share your financial
information.
Special Cases in which we Share Personal and
Financial Information
Your personal information or financial
information (for transactions on this site which maybe introduced now or
later) may be passed on to a third
party in the event of a transfer of
ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy. We may
also disclose personal information or
financial information when we determine that
such disclosure is necessary to comply with
applicable law, to cooperate with law
enforcement or to protect the interests or
safety of iplcricketforum.com or other
visitors to the Site. We also may disclose
your personal information or financial
information to our subsidiary and parent
companies and businesses, and other
affiliated legal entities and businesses
with whom we are under common corporate
control. Whenever personal information or
financial information is disclosed under
this paragraph, we may also disclose your
demographic information along with it, on a
non-anonymous basis. All of our parent,
subsidiary and affiliated legal entities and
businesses that receive your personal
information, financial information, or
non-anonymous demographic information from
us will comply with the terms of this
privacy policy with respect to their use and
disclosure of such information.
How We Use Public Information and Other
Demographic Information
We may review all demographic information.
We may use public information to enable
other users to find your profile, to
determine whether they are a match for you
and to communicate with you. We may use
demographic information to tailor the Site
and communications to your interests. We may
also share demographic information with
advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated
basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers
your identity). One of the reasons we may do
this is to increase the likelihood that our
advertisers' goods and services will appeal
to iplcricketforum.com users, so that
we may target specific ads at specific
demographic groups. Our sharing of
demographic information with advertisers is
anonymous (i.e., we do not tell advertisers
which particular iplcricketforum.com
users are members of which demographic
groups), subject to the rest of this privacy
policy. When you respond to an
advertisement, however, we ask you to
remember that if that ad that is targeted to
a demographic group and you decide to give
the advertiser your personal information,
then the advertiser may be able to identify
you as being a member of that demographic
group. Please also be aware that when we
disclose your financial information or
personal information to a Co-Branded
Company, as described above, we may also
disclose to that Co-Branded Company your
demographic information, other than the
content of one-on-one communications between
you and other members. Please also be aware
that we may disclose your demographic
information on a non-anonymous basis as described above in the paragraph titled
"Special Cases in which we Share Personal
and Financial Information." Also, to read
further details about how we may use your
public information, see our
Our Security Precautions
The Site has security measures in place to
protect against the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information under our
control. We will use secure server software (SSL) which will be
the industry standard and among the best
software available for secure commerce
transactions if and when we introduce such features. We will encrypt all of your
personal and financial information as it
travels over the Internet and we store your
financial information on our servers in
encrypted form. Your information may be
transferred to and maintained on computer
networks which may be located outside of the
state, province, country or other
governmental jurisdiction in which you
reside, and the country or jurisdiction in
which these computer networks are located
may not have privacy laws as protective as
the laws in your country or jurisdiction.

personally identifiable information in a
manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users
by way of an email or by providing 30 days
notice on the Site. Please note that we will
continue to have the right to change our
privacy policy and practices, and how we use
your personally identifiable information,
without notice, as described in the first
paragraph of this Privacy Policy, provided
that such changes shall only apply to
information gathered on or after the date of
the change.
