Thecableguy.tv is respectful of privacy concerns of the visitors
to its sites on the Internet. Information about our
customers is an important part of our business and we treat
individual customer information as confidential. As a
general policy, no personal information is automatically
collected from visitors to this site. However, certain
non-personal information about visitors is recorded by the
standard operation of Thecableguy.tv Internet servers. This
information is primarily used to provide an enhanced online
experience for the visitor. Information tracked includes the
type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape,
Internet Explorer, Firefox and other Mozilla flavors), the
type of operating system (e.g., Macintosh, Windows) in use
by the visitor and the domain name of the visitor's Internet
service provider (e.g., Yahoo, MSN, America Online, etc.).
By having this information, web pages optimized for a
particular visitor's computer may be automatically made
available to that visitor. Other use of this information may
include internal review of the number of visitors to this
site, but only in aggregate and in a
non-personally-identifiable form. Email addresses and other
personally identifiable data about the visitor to this site
are known to Thecableguy.tv only when voluntarily submitted by the
user.
When you sign up for or inquire about Thecableguy.tv services, you
may provide us with information that is associated with your
personal identity, such as your name, service address,
telephone number(s), social security number or driver's
license number, premium service subscription information,
user IDs, passwords, email address, billing and payment
information, customer correspondence and communications
records, maintenance and repairs, and other service-related
information. To the extent that you request or subscribe to
Thecableguy.tv products and services, you may also provide (or we
may electronically collect) information about your computer,
as well as your configurations. We may also collect
Information from visitors or customers who respond to e-mail
surveys. All personal information that we collect is treated
as confidential.
Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a unique sequence of numbers that is
automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are
connected to the Internet. Web servers - - the public
computers that "serve up" Web pages - - automatically
identify your computer by the IP address which you have been
assigned.
Thecableguy.tv collects IP addresses for the purposes of system
administration, to report aggregate information, and to
audit the use of our site. When guests request pages from
Thecableguy.tv sites, our servers log the guests' IP address. We
do not normally link the IP address to anything personally
identifiable, which means that a user's session will be
logged but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will
use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is
necessary to enforce compliance with our Acceptable Usage
Policy or Terms of Service or to protect our service, site,
customers, or others.
Some services within Thecableguy.tv, such as certain message
boards, may display IP addresses along with the message
poster's name and message. Please review each service prior
to use and only use those that disclose information you are
comfortable with sharing.
Use of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a
web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for
record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web surfing easier for
you by saving your preferences while you are at our site. We
never save passwords or credit card information in cookies.
By showing how and when a guest uses a site, cookies help us
see which areas are popular and which are not. Many
improvements and updates to the site are based on such data
as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This
information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the
information from cookies to provide services that are
tailored to our user's needs.
While these activities may depend on the use of a cookie,
visitors to the Thecableguy.tv website always have the option of
disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Most
browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can
reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a
cookie is being sent. Use of cookies allows you to take full
advantage of Thecableguy.tv.com's best features. Please note that
some of the parts of Thecableguy.tv.com's web site may not
function properly or may be considerably slower if you
refuse cookies and, for all of these reasons, we recommend
that you leave them turned on.
Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with our guests is of utmost concern
to us. We exercise great care in providing secure
transmission of your information from your PC to our
servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal information,
Thecableguy.tv cannot insure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us or from our online products
or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive
your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its
security on all of our systems.
A Special Note to Parents
Children must get permission from their parents before
sending any information about themselves (such as their
names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the
Internet, to Thecableguy.tv or anyone else. Thecableguy.tv will not
knowingly allow anyone under 13 to register with any of its
sites, to order Thecableguy.tv services or products online, or to
access those features that require registration.
Thecableguy.tv.com does not sell products for purchase by
children. We may sell children's products for purchase by
adults. Thecableguy.tv believes that parents should supervise
their children's' online activities and consider using
parental control tools available from online services and
software manufacturers that help provide a child friendly
online environment. These tools can also prevent children
disclosing online - their name, address, and other personal
information, without parental permission. For additional
information about parental control tools, please consult the
"Consumer Assistance" page of the Direct Marketing
Association home page (http://www.the-dma.org).
