Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Soap Opera Source collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Soap Opera Source’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Soap Opera Source’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Soap Opera Source may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Soap Opera Source also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Soap Opera Source does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Soap Opera Source’s websites choose to interact with Soap Opera Source in ways that require Soap Opera Source to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Soap Opera Source gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account on our message boards at http://boards.soapoperasource.com to provide a username and e-mail address. Soap Opera Source collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Soap Opera Source. Soap Opera Source does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Soap Opera Source may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Soap Opera Source may monitor the most popular parts of the Soap Opera Source site, and message boards. Soap Opera Source may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Soap Opera Source does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Soap Opera Source discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Soap Opera Source’s behalf or to provide services available at Soap Opera Source’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Soap Opera Source’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Soap Opera Source will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Soap Opera Source discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Soap Opera Source believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Soap Opera Source, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Soap Opera Source website and have supplied your email address, Soap Opera Source may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Soap Opera Source and our products. We primarily use our message board bulk e-mail system to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Soap Opera Source takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
