Privacy Policy and Safety of Information

Trick Audio recognizes the importance of privacy to our customers and internet site visitors. This privacy policy explains exactly what type of information we might ask you to provide when you visit this web site, and explain what we promise to do and not to do with that information.

Personal Identification Information
Trick Audio does not collect personally identifying information from this web site unless you choose to provide that information to us. We do ask that you provide some basic information to us so that we can better serve your needs when you visit us. If you do provide us with any information, this is what we do... and what we will not do with it:

What we do:

• Trick does research on our customers' demographics, interests, and opinions based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys
  
• Trick performs this analysis to better understand and serve our customers. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis only.
  
• Trick may share this data (on an aggregated, not personal basis) with our business partners.
  
• Any personal information you provide to us remains within Trick and is used and seen only by our employees.
  
• Our servers (host computers) are maintained with the highest possible security to protect your information. Credit card information is never kept on our servers and personal information is kept in a form that can not be accessed by the public.

What we will not do:

• It is the policy of Trick Audio not to disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it
  
• We do not sell or distribute lists of names, addresses, email addresses or any other personal information to anyone else. All of the information collected by Trick is used for internal Trick purposes only and is not distributed to other outside parties.
  
• We do NOT keep or email your credit card information. All orders are handled using secure encryption technology.

Data We Collect
Like all internet web servers, the Trick web server automatically creates log files for each visitor who accesses our site. These "access logs" allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do NOT record a visitor's name, address, telephone number, credit card numbers, or any other personal information. The data that is collected includes some or all of the following:

• The Internet Protocol (IP) Address of the machine that accessed our site.
  
• The date and time of the visit to our site.
  
• The path taken through our site.
  
• The browser software used to access our site.
  
• A list of files downloaded or viewed from the site.
  
• Any errors encountered.

Most Internet Service Providers use a "dynamic" form of assigning IP Addresses. This means that a visitor may have a different IP Address each time he or she visits the Trick Audio site. Also, many Internet Service Providers, including America Online, use "proxy servers" which provide even more anonymity for visitors. For example, all visitors accessing Trick's site through America Online will be recorded in our access logs as having the same IP Address. We use "cookies" and other methods of user tracking for the non-participatory sections and for other password protected areas of the site.

Cookies and How They are Used
No doubt you have heard a lot about the use of "cookies" and most people think that they are intrinsically "bad" or a security threat. In reality, cookies are simply a small amount of data that is stored on your computer so that you can have a better online experience each time you visit a specific web site. Generally, we use cookies to:

• Verify your identity and access your user permissions (stored on our secured computers) in order to deliver to you a better, faster and more personalized service.
• Estimate our audience size and preferential patterns in order to better serve our visitors and customers. Each browser accessing the Trick site is given a unique cookie that is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage based on user interests and preferences.
• Track your progress and number of entries in some of our promotions and contests. When a Trick-hosted promotion uses cookies, the information written to the cookie indicates the user's progress through the promotion, and may be used to track entries, submissions, and status. The cookie may also be used to ensure that a single listener cannot "stuff the ballot box", or vote multiple times in opinion polls, etc. The cookie is returned to the server that issued it only.
• Trick does ask visitors to provide certain personal information when they purchase an item or submit information or requests through an online form. This information is gathered by Trick on a voluntary basis and its use by Trick is limited to the following: content management, editorial and feedback purposes, fulfillment commerce orders, and for Trick's marketing and promotional purposes. By providing this information, a visitor may receive an e-mail from Trick in limited circumstances
• All visitors must be at least 13 years old to qualify for purchasing product online. If a visitor is under 13 years of age, they should not send any information about themselves, including their name, address or e-mail address. If we discover that we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will remove that information from our database as soon as possible.
• All visitors between the ages of 13 and 18 must obtain permission from their parents or guardians before registering or ordering commerce items or otherwise sending any personal information.

Personal Data Correction or Removal Requests
Upon request to the Trick web master, Trick will permit you to:

1. Correct or update any personal information in the Trick database that you state is erroneous,
2. Opt-out of future promotional communications from Trick or
3. Request Trick to make reasonable efforts to remove your personal information from the Trick database, thereby canceling your user permissions. The user understands that it may be impossible to delete personal information entirely because of backups and records of deletions.

Trick Audio reserves the right to change this policy. Any changes to this policy will be posted to this page as soon as reasonably possible, so please check this page periodically. Use of the Trick Audio web site constitutes consent to any policy then in effect.
