We may ask for your permission to use your personal information for other purposes, for example, to send you an email newsletter or for marketing purposes.

In this instance, these statistics and reports will contain only aggregated and no personally identifiable information. Your identity is kept strictly anonymous.

What "Cookies" Are and How They Are Used
"Cookies" are simple text files that web browsers place on computer hard drives when sites are visited. Cookies cannot damage files, nor can they read information from a user's hard drive. The cookie, by itself, doesn't tell us your email address or who you are. When you participate in our activities, we do not store any personal information within cookies, nor do we link or combine information collected through cookies to any personal information submitted online. Tuneforums.com uses cookies to help us measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, and other statistics relating to use of our sites. As a convenience for users, Tuneforums.com also uses cookies to remember non-personally identifiable user-names so that the need for multiple log-ins is eliminated.
Please note certain features on our sites may not function if you do not accept cookies.
Log data collected on web servers supplies Tuneforums.com with aggregate information about the number of visits to different pages on our site. Tuneforums.com uses such aggregate information to improve access to content based on visitors' browsers and operating system types to make our content available to as many visitors as possible. We do not link the log data collected to any personal information submitted online.
With Whom Your Information Is Shared
We will not sell, rent, share or otherwise make available your personal information to any outside parties without your consent. In such a case, we will tell you for what purpose such information will be disclosed and we will ask for your consent to "opt-in". If you want to share your personal information, you will have to respond affirmatively. If you do not respond, by default, we will assume that you do not want to be involved and your information will not be sold, rented, shared with or otherwise made available to outside parties.
