Welcome to Roundupranch.com. Internet web sites exist to allow for and
promote interaction. In that interaction, users may provide information
either anonymously or purposely about themselves, either statistically
or personally. Roundupranch.com is such a site.
Visits to Roundupranch.com are monitored for the accumulation of
statistical information, including, but not limited to, the number of
visits to the site, the pages people visit, from which domains the
visitors come from and the browsers people use to visit the site. Such
information is important to allow Roundupranch.com to evaluate the
effectiveness of the services it is providing, to monitor its own
performance and to make it easier for other visitors to use the site.
What Is Covered Under This Privacy Policy?
All personal information you provide directly to Roundupranch.com is
covered under this privacy policy. This may include, but not be limited
to, your name, address, date of birth, phone number, e-mail address,
other financial information, and other personally identifying

Postings by users on any bulletin board, in any forum, or in any chat

Roundupranch.com may require you to provide your name, date of birth,

Additionally, Roundupranch.com will ask you to voluntarily provide

In addition to information obtained through registration,
Roundupranch.com sometimes obtains personal information about you when

If you contact Roundupranch.com, we may keep a record of your identity and your correspondence.
Roundupranch.com also tracks and collects your computer's IP address to
help with system administration and to compile information about

identifies your computer and the network or Internet service provider
to which your computer is connected.
Cookies and How Roundupranch.com Uses Them
A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred from a web
server through your browser and stored on the hard drive of your
computer. The data in a cookie vary, depending on the reasons for the
cookie. For example, if you have a special user name and password to
log into a part of the Roundupranch.com site, such as a chat area, the
cookie may contain your user name and password so that when you log on,
the web server recognizes you. Roundupranch.com may use cookies to
gather general information about its audience and store, measure
traffic patterns on the site, and track information about you and the
way you use the site. As Roundupranch.com improves its service and
offers its users more ability to customize their experience and the
content they view, cookies may be used to assist in that
personalization process.
Advertisers on Roundupranch.com may also use their own cookies.
You do not have to permit the use of cookies. You can, through the
options in your web browser, choose to accept all cookies, choose to
reject all cookies or choose to receive notification when a cookie is
being delivered so that you can make a decision whether to accept each
cookie on a case-by-case basis. If you refuse all cookies, or refuse
particular cookies, you will not be able to use some of the features of
Roundupranch.com, including, but not limited to, web e-mail, chats,
opinion polls, and personalized or customized features.
How Is My Information Used by Roundupranch.com?
Personal information collected from you at Roundupranch.com, as well as
information about traffic patterns and user behavior on the site, is
used primarily for these purposes:
1. To conduct internal research. We constantly are assessing who is
using our site and how they are using it. This assists us in making
decisions about how to improve the site and to better serve our users.
Research data are aggregated and do not include data about specific
individuals. We may share aggregated research (but not individual user
information) with our advertisers or business partners. Additionally,
Roundupranch.com may, at some time, use your personal information to
contact you and ask if you would be willing to participate in a focus
group, survey, or some other type of research effort.
2. To customize or personalize your experience at Roundupranch.com. As
Roundupranch.com improves its service, it will offer users more
opportunities to customize content and other aspects of the site.
Personal information provided by you will be used to assist in the
customization process.
With Whom Will You Share My Individual Information?
Roundupranch.com will strive to maintain the confidentiality of all
personal user information and communications which are transmitted
directly to Roundupranch.com. However, Roundupranch.com reserves the
right to disclose any of your personal information under special
circumstances. These circumstances include:
1. When we believe in good faith that the law requires such disclosure.
2. When disclosing such information is necessary to identify, contact
or initiate legal action against someone violating Roundupranch.com's
Terms of Service, or someone who is causing injury to or interference
with Roundupranch.com's rights or property, other Roundupranch.com
users, or anyone else who can be harmed by such activities.
3. When we must disclose such information for administrative and other
purposes necessary to maintain and improve our product and services.
When you provide personal information on Roundupranch.com, it is being
used by Roundupranch.com alone, unless specifically stated otherwise.
In some cases, we may be providing a service to you or a promotion that
is being made available with the assistance of another company. If that
is the case, there may be instances when we must share your information
with our partner company to facilitate the co-branded service or
promotion. If your information is to be shared with a partner company,
you will be notified prior to the transfer of that information to the
partner company and you will be given the option of not permitting the
transfer of your information to that partner company.
When Roundupranch.com conducts research about the use of its site, it
may hire a professional research firm to assist in that process.
Information about you may be shared with that research firm and that
firm may contact you to ask your opinions about Roundupranch.com or to
see if you are interested in participating in a research activity for
Roundupranch.com, such as a focus group or survey. The research firm
will be bound by its contract with Roundupranch.com to use your
information strictly for Roundupranch.com research purposes, to keep
your information confidential, and to adequately secure or destroy its
records of your information when the research is complete so that
information cannot be obtained by others.
Once again, please be aware that advertisers and vendors hosted on our
site, or who link to our site, may collect information about you
through their own cookies if you click on their ads or if you make a
purchase from them. This includes the purchase of classified or
personal advertisements. Information collected by vendors or
advertisers on our site, or who link to our site, is not covered under
this privacy policy.
Various web sites collect user information and create lists and/or
databases of this user information. These lists or databases are
sometimes sold to third parties under contractual agreements that place
limits on how the purchasing parties can reuse the information.
Currently, Roundupranch.com does not sell information about its users
to third parties for any reason. If Roundupranch.com chooses to do so
in the future, it will notify users of Roundupranch.com of its
intentions and give users the option to exclude their information from
any such lists or databases sold to third parties.
