Spokane.net has created this privacy policy because your privacy is important to us. An on-line service of New Media Ventures, Inc., Spokane.net operates by the following principles governing information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site.
Spokane.net is maintained by New Media Ventures, Inc., 999 West Riverside Avenue, Spokane, WA 99201. You can reach us by e-mail if you have any questions about our practices or this privacy policy.
At Spokane.net, we explicitly ask when we need information that personally identifies you ("Personal Information"). Personal Information may be needed to provide unique services specific to you, like personal directions or personalized news and information. Other services may need more extensive Personal Information in order to provide a package tailored to a specific individual's needs. For example, Spokane.net may ask you for your name and e-mail address if you wish to personalize your home page. Some portions of the site may ask you to provide personal financial information (in addition to Personal Information like name and address) over an encrypted connection, enabling you to purchase items online. We may request that you provide Personal Information as part of a contest or promotion.
We use your Personal Information to operate Spokane.net, and we may occasionally inform you of new features, services, and products made available on Spokane.net. In all cases we will explicitly inform you as to the requirement and/or use of requested Personal Information.
We may also place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information; however, it will enable us to relate your use of the Spokane.net Web site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided to or requested from Spokane.net.
This site makes public forums, like chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups, available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding whether or not to disclose your personal information. See also the Spokane.net Forum Standards.
This site provides public services, such as the Spokane.net Community and the SpokaneAds.net FREE Classifieds, which are subject to the terms and conditions of the Spokane.net Terms of Service Agreement. All public services are accessed at the users own risk. Please remember that if you access the public services we provide, you are expected to know and follow the Terms of Service covering same.
This site also contains externals links to other sites. Spokane.net is not, however, responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other Web sites.
If at any time you believe we have not adhered to these principles, please notify us by e-mail, and we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and correct the problem.
