The listowner of the Home-Basers Discussion List has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate the firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for the discussion list, Home-Basers, and its Web site.

Information Automatically Logged

Your IP address is used to help diagnose problems with the server and to administer the Web site. It is also used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of origin and domain type (.edu, .com, .net, etc.). This information is solely for statistical purposes and is not distributed in any form by the listowner.

Cookies

The Home-Basers Web site has a banner ad setup to offer advertisements specifically for the home-based business person. The site uses cookies to make sure you don't see the same banner ad repeatedly and to determine the frequency of click-throughs to the banner ads displayed.

Advertisers

The Home-Basers Web site uses the banner exchange service, LinkExchange, to display general subject banner ads on the site. These ads may contain cookies. While cookies are in other parts of the Web site, cookies received with these banner ads are collected by this service, and the listowner does not have access to or control of this information.

Personal Information

This Web site requests personal information or collects information that personally identifies you or allows you to be personally contacted in only two circumstances. In one case, there is a list subscription form on the site's home page. The only information requested is your e-mail address. This information goes directly to the Home-Basers list. When subscription requests are sent using the form, an email message is sent to the email address requesting confirmation. Only the listowner has access to the list of subscribers. The list of subscribers will not be sold or otherwise distributed unless required by law.

Second, advertisers who wish to place a banner ad on Home-Basers are asked for contact information. This information is sent only to the listowner and will not be used for any other purpose.

External Links

This site contains links to other sites. The Home-Basers Discussion List is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Public Forums

Only persons subscribed to Home-Basers may post messages to the list, and only they have access to the list archive. However, please remember that any information that is disclosed on the list still has the potential to become public information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under Home-Basers' control. Any statistical information gathered from visitors to the Home-Basers Web site is password protected. Also, as previously mentioned, access to the list of subscribers and the list archive has been limited to minimize the likelihood of subscribers being placed on a spam list.

If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of Home-Basers, or your dealings with the Web site or discussion list, you can contact the listowner at: randye@atouchofclassics.com.
