Renegade Recon ("RR") collects personally identifiable information about individuals when such individuals
specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable
information may be gathered from website membership registration, competitions, community postings,
suggestions and transactional areas. Personally identifiable information on individual users will not
be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the
time of collection. The user will have the opportunity to indicate whether he or she would like to "opt out"
of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from RR
and/or any third parties. Further, notwithstanding any opt out of promotional information by the user,
RR reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the service agreement
and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.
RR may perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics in order to measure
interest in the use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such
information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their
advertising banners. RR will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties.
Also, users should be aware that RR may sometimes permit third parties to offer products or services
through a RR site. RR is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users
should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information.
Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally
identifiable information (e.g. user name, e-mail address) on the bulletin boards or in
the Arms Deals areas of the RR sites, that information, along with any substantive information
disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected and correlated and used by third parties
and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of RR.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data may
be automatically collected through the standard operation of RR's internet
servers or through the use of "cookies." "Cookies" are small text files a
web site can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing
access to and use of the site, track usage, follow site behaviour and compile
aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising.
Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally,
cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the
assigning site. Users should be aware that RR cannot control the use of cookies or the
resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for RR. If a user
does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure
in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users
should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features
(e.g. customized delivery of information) available on the renegaderecon.com web site.
Upon request, RR will allow any user to "opt out" of further promotional contacts
that are sent by e-mail. Additionally upon request, RR will use reasonable efforts
to allow users to update/correct personal information previously submitted which
the user states is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or
security interests. Also, upon a user's request, RR will use commercially reasonable efforts
functionally to delete the user
and his or her personal information from its database; however, it may be impossible to
delete a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions.
The foregoing policies are effective as of 8 December 2003. RR reserves the right
to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of a new
privacy statement. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended
to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
