Prior to activating a membership request, We (wichozannivillage.org) may test each IP address for spam activity.  If a new account request (or inactive user) has an active IP address SPAM alert,  that account will not be activated (or temporarily de-activated). 

 

SPAM alerts may happen if your email address is being hijacked by a spammer.

Also, If a User Registration seems suspicious (spam), it will also not be activated until the Administrator determines that it is a legitimate request.

 

 

 

Wichozanni Village(.org) is the sole owner of the data information collected on this site.  That means that we will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

 

We want you to be aware that wichozannivillage.org does collect certain information from our users at different points on our website:

 

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user.  Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site.  Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site.  If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site.  The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.  For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our contests or drawings that take place.  Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

 

If a user wishes to access our Member Areas, we require contact information in the form of a User Name and email address which are stored in our system.  We require this information because our website is member based and our system will not create user access without that basic information.

We may at times also ask for and store geographic location and demographics which is optional for the User.

At times, We may also ask for more personally Identifiable information from a user, such as a real name, mailing address or phone number if necessary to fulfill a service request of the user.

The User may at any time, request their personally identifiable information be deleted from their user account file by contacting the Admin in the “Contact Us” Link area of the website.

Occasionally, the Admin of this website may need to access a Member's user account in order to provide services related to the Membership of the website.  For instance, to help a member update a password or to check on issues the Member may be having on the site or to make sure that the user's account is set up correctly (for certain groups, conversations, etc).  The Admin can not see a User's Password and does not keep track of any temporary passwords issued.  It is the Member's responsibility to update permanent passwords.  All Members of this website acknowledge and give permission to the Website Admin(s) to access their user account for these purposes.

 

As mentioned previously, We have access to IP addresses and may use them to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movements on the site and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information other than when a user logs in. In other words, when a user logs in to our website, the IP address for that user is visible to our Website Admin(s).

 

 

We may at times share aggregated demographic information with our project partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

 

This website may contain links to other sites.  Please be aware that we (www.wichozannivillage.org) are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites.  We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.  This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website only.

 

If a user subscribes to a newsletter, mailing list or blog or forum, we may ask for contact information, such as a Users actual name, mailing address and/or phone number.  WichozanniVillage.org does not necessarily agree with or support the views of some members that participate in forums/blogs, etc. on this site. If a User is a member of certain Group on this website they may be automatically subscribed to a Group Newsletter/Mailing List/Blog/Forum etc., for convenient Group communication, however the member may unsubscribe at any time by logging in and clicking the appropriate unsubscribe button or by contacting the Admin and requesting to be unsubscribed by clicking on the “Contact Us” link.

 

From time to time our site may request information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whither or not to disclose this information.  Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code and age level).  Contact information will be used to notify members where this kind of information is pertinent.  Survey information will be used for the purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
