CaneTalk.com has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for CaneTalk.com.

We use many methods to protect our users. One of these is automatically logging your Internet Protocol address ("IP address") in certain areas. This measure is taken for security issues, administrative purposes and for other reasonable purposes. This information will not be sold under any circumstance.

A cookie is a small amount of text data that is stored on your computer by a website. Cookies can help deliver content specific to your interests, to save session information so that you don't have to re-enter your password each time you visit our site, and for other useful purposes. A cookie is stored on your computer, but does not allow our site to access other files on your computer. The information from the cookie is read when you visit a section of our site that calls the cookie. The cookie does not hurt your computer, but does take up a small amount of space. If you ever need to free up space on your computer, you can delete your cookies.

We have advertising on some areas of our site. We currently use advertising from Google's AdSense program. You can view Google's privacy policy here.

Our site's registration forms require users to give us contact information (like your name and e-mail), unique identifiers (like your IP address), and demographic information (like your age).

Contact information from the registration forms on our site are used to create and maintain password protected accounts. The user's contact information is stored in a directory outside of our site's publicly accessible web space. Account holder's contact information is never shared with anyone outside of CaneTalk.com. We will never sell the information, even in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution.

Users may opt-out of receiving future emails; see the subscribed services section near the bottom of this page.

Unique identifiers (like your IP address) are collected from web site visitors to verify the user's location and identity if necessary. If a user violates our "Terms of Use", these unique identifiers may be used to ban the user from the site, or to face prosecution.

Our site has links to other sites on the internet. We have no control of, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of these websites.

This site has a forum that can be viewed by anyone on the internet. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in our public forum or on your public profile will be made available to anyone in the world, so you should make sure that you reveal only the information that you wish to reveal.

We care about children's privacy and understand that they have special privacy needs. Therefore, we have adopted the following privacy policy regarding children:

1. We will not knowingly collect or use any personally identifiable information without prior verifiable parental consent for children 12 or under.
   
   
2. A child may have access to services that would give the child the ability to publicly post, or otherwise distribute personally identifiable information without prior verifiable parental consent. We will remove any information that we find posted by a child. We cannot prevent a child from posting information. Please inform your child of the dangers of revealing too much information on the web.

If you have signed sign up to receive certain emails through our site, you may change your email preferences within your account.

If at any time you need to modify data in your account, you can do that yourself by logging into your account. You can also contact the webmaster if you need help to do that.
