ADRIFT Privacy Policy
Welcome to the ADRIFT Website, owned and created by Campbell Wild. All
Products and Services on this website are made available subject to this
Privacy Policy. By using our Products and Services, you agree, without
limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
The ADRIFT Website discloses our privacy practices and contains detailed
information about the following:
What information of yours does the ADRIFT website collect?
Our goal is to provide a friendly, rich user experience, that allows you to
interact with the website, such as uploading and downloading files, rating
adventures, and communicating with other adventurers.
While you are not required to register for any services on the ADRIFT
website, some Products and Services may not function properly or may not be
accessible unless you do.
Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or
personally identifiable.
ADRIFT collects anonymous information, which refers to data that cannot be
tied back to a specific individual. For example, ADRIFT collects some
information each time a visitor comes to the ADRIFT site so we can
improve the overall quality of the visitor's online experience. ADRIFT
collects the visitor's IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from
ibm.com or aol.com), referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last
Web page visited by a user before clicking over to the ADRIFT website),
and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh
platform).
You do not have to register with the ADRIFT website before we can collect this anonymous information.
Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us
specifically who you are, such as your name and email address, which may be
collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. ADRIFT collects
personal information in the following ways from different parts of its
network of Web sites:
ADRIFT Website Registration: When you register with the ADRIFT website, you provide ADRIFT with your name,
email address, and other information. While not all of this data is required
for our services to function, we are better able to customize your
experience if you volunteer complete and accurate information. Users who
complete the registration process are given an ADRIFT user ID and can take
full advantage of the offerings on the ADRIFT website.
Correspondence: If you contact anyone at ADRIFT, we may keep a record of
that correspondence.
ADRIFT reserves the right to collect certain information and store it in
connection with your account. This information includes information about
the different sites that you visit within the ADRIFT website as well as the
time and frequency at which you visit them. This information also includes
the content that you transmit or post on the ADRIFT website.
What organisation is collecting the information?
The information you provide is collected for the sole purpose of giving a
better experience of the website, and to provide a secure method for
administering the information on it. The information is stored on the
ADRIFT servers, and is not forwarded on to any other companies.
What are "cookies" and how does ADRIFT use them?
In addition to the personally identifiable information that ADRIFT actively
collects when you register, we also collect anonymous information passively
using cookies. This technology plays an important role in
making the Internet work, but there is much confusion among Internet users
about what cookies are and how they are used.
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that
is transferred from a Web site to the hard drive of your computer so that
the site administrator may identify your computer and passively track its
activities on the Web site. This unique number identifies your Web browser
to our computer system whenever you visit the ADRIFT website.
A cookie will not allow a Web site to learn any personally
identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that you have
not otherwise disclosed.
Cookies allow ADRIFT to automatically remember your Web browser when you
visit our website. To help serve you better, ADRIFT generally uses cookies to:
Allow us to deliver products and services more efficiently. By storing
certain registration and preference information on cookies or associating
cookies with registration, preference or profile information stored on our
computers, we can deliver products and services that use such information
more quickly and efficiently for more users. This information is normally
saved in an encrypted form that only ADRIFT can interpret.
If you elected to have the ADRIFT website remember your user and password,
this information is stored in a cookie on your own computer. This prevents
you from having to type out the information every time you visit the site.
How does the ADRIFT website use the information it collects?
Any personally identifiable information you share with ADRIFT when
registering for Products and Services on this website is
maintained and accessible only by ADRIFT unless specifically stated
otherwise. ADRIFT requests information from its users so that users can enjoy
customized experiences on the website. Most of
these Products and Services are available to you at no cost, and ADRIFT
displays advertisements so we can continue to provide great content and
services free of charge. We can also better prepare future content based on
your interests.
The following are examples of how the ADRIFT website may use the information
it collects:
ADRIFT uses the information collected (both anonymous and personal) to
personalize and enhance the content you see on the ADRIFT, such as
allowing uploading, rating and modification of adventures.
ADRIFT sometimes uses an individual registered user's data to "pre-populate"
online forms to provide a better experience to the user.
ADRIFT may, from time to time, use your information to contact you about
changes or enhancements to Products and Services on the ADRIFT website,
issues regarding your account, or ADRIFT Terms and Conditions
violations or suspensions.
What types of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information?
The ADRIFT website has security measures in place to attempt to protect
against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control.
ADRIFT uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any
personally identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized
employees have access to the information you provide us.
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not
occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
You are ultimately responsible for the security of your ADRIFT ID and
password. Please take care when using and storing them. ADRIFT recommends
that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your
browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot
access your personal information and correspondence, especially if several
people have access to your personal computer or you are using a computer in
a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
What are the policies concerning software downloads?
ADRIFT may make certain software available for download. This software may be
created by ADRIFT or by third party licensors. The software may be programmed
to access our servers and/or third party servers in order for the software
to operate and in order to check for program upgrades or enhancements. From
time to time, new files may be added to your computer in order to upgrade
the software or add new functionality to it. These changes may occur without
notice to you. If at any time you wish to uninstall the software program,
you may do so by following the instructions that accompany the software. Use
of the software will be governed by a separate license agreement.
