UnReal Network's Privacy Philosophy
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. Because we gather certain types of information about UnReal Network users, we want you to understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it.
Information that UnReal Network Gathers
UnReal Network gathers two types of
information about users:
1) Personal data, provided through voluntary registration. Personal data may be requested when you sign up for UnReal Network's
personalized services or register for contests, sweepstakes or other promotional
programs offered on our service. We ask for this in order to provide you with
the best Web experience possible. This information might include member name,
password, age, gender, ZIP code and/or country information. Except as described
below, it is not disclosed to parties other than UnReal Network and its parent
companies in any way that personally identifies you without your prior
permission.
Aggregated data, which tracks UnReal Network user activity as a whole
rather than on an individual basis, is gathered through several methods. This
tracking data follows UnReal Network traffic in general, and is not used to
identify you personally.
Aggregated tracking information helps us to determine which areas of our site
users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. UnReal Network does
not track what you read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for you. We may disclose such
aggregated information to third parties such as our advertisers and partners.
2) Aggregated data, which tracks users as a whole.
How UnReal Network Uses Information
UnReal Network uses any personal
information that's voluntarily given by you in order to enhance your experience,
whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of our users. UnReal Network also
uses information that you voluntarily provide in order to send electronic
updates and to let you participate in polls and message boards.
UnReal Network will not disclose any information that personally identifies
you to parties other than UnReal Network and its parent companies without your
consent. There are exceptions: Contests and Sweepstakes Membership Services This data is considered highly confidential and is used only to retrieve your
password when necessary. We use high-level encryption when sending data between UnReal Network
and our e-mail provider.
Search Terms Cookies and Tracking Cookies also provide you with a level of convenience -- since they
"remember" your computer, they enable you to enter UnReal Network
sites as a member without having to log on each time, and they allow you to
visit member-restricted areas of the site.
Cookies don't identify you personally, but rather identify your computer when
you visit our site. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites.
Your browser can be set to warn you before accepting cookies -- in this case,
you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You can choose to refuse
cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use UnReal Network, but you will need them for customizable areas
of the site. UnReal Network does allow users to clear cookies.
Electronic Newsletters Message Boards or Discussion Areas
1) When the purpose and manner of disclosure is clearly defined in advance.
2) When we believe in good faith that disclosure is legally required or to
protect our rights.
UnReal Network occasionally offers contests and sweepstakes in which we request
certain personal information on a voluntary basis. These contests and
sweepstakes are conducted in full accordance with Croatia federal and state
laws. The full rules and all information about such contests are clearly posted
during the event, including how information gathered will be used.
To use UnReal Network's membership services -- such as e-mail and your personal
custom portfolio -- you will be requested to register. During registration,
you'll be asked to supply a member name and password, age, gender, zip code
and/or country information. UnReal Network shares this data with our service
provider(s). For instance, the personal information that you provide to our
e-mail service at UnReal Network is shared with that company in order to
retrieve your password when necessary.
As a measure of user interest, we track search terms that are entered into our
site. We create aggregrate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for
advertisers and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more
effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to
you. An advertiser will not receive specific information that you clicked their
ad unless you voluntarily permit us to do so.
A cookie is a small data file that Web sites commonly write to your hard drive
when you visit them. A cookie file contains information that can identify you
anonymously in order to track traffic patterns on our site. The data is
encrypted for your added security. UnReal Network uses cookies as a way to
measure activity on the site in order to continually improve your experience.
UnReal Network offers free, electronic newsletters as a service to our users,
based on a voluntary subscription. You will only receive a newsletter if you
have requested it during registration to several areas of UnReal Network or
directly from our signup form. We do not share newsletter mailing lists with any
third parties, including advertisers or partners, unless you voluntarily permit
us to do so when you register or sign up.
Please remember that while UnReal Network does not share any personal
information gathered during registration to UnReal Network Message Boards or
Discussion Areas, any postings to message boards or discussion areas become
public information. Use caution when posting.
UnReal Network Content Providers, Advertisers and Partners
UnReal Network will not provide your
personal information to anyone outside of UnReal Network and its parent
companies except in the limited circumstances mentioned, and only then with your
consent.
However, UnReal Network cannot control the practices of other partners and
advertisers. If you have provided personal information to a party or advertiser
connected with UnReal Network and have not been informed by UnReal Network as to
its purpose, contact them directly by going to their home page and looking for a
company profile or information area.
It is important to note that UnReal Network contains many links to sites
other than UnReal Network, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy
policies as UnReal Network. For instance, if you click an ad or a search result
on UnReal Network, this will take you away from UnReal Network and to an
entirely different site. This includes links from advertisers, content providers
and partners who may use UnReal Network's logo and/or style as part of a
co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you, and as a
result, may collect data and ask for personal information that UnReal Network
would not. UnReal Network works with a third party that serves ads to
this site. To find out more about how Flycast manages the privacy of information
in conjunction with serving ads on this site, please go to http://www.flycast.com/about_us/about-privacy.html. UnReal Network requests that children
under 17 do not submit or post any information to the site without a parent's or
guardian's consent. However, we will not request or knowingly collect from a
child any information online that can be traced to the child, such as an e-mail
address, name, or information about the child's family.
Unless a parent or guardian consents to such use in advance, UnReal Network
will not knowingly use information that a child provides to UnReal Network for
any marketing, selling or promotional purposes. UnReal Network reserves the right to
change this policy at any time by notifying guests of the existence of a revised
privacy policy.
UnReal Network gives you options

change this information at any time and as often as necessary. If you're
experiencing problems or have any questions about how our services work, contact
us at support@unreal-net.com.
You may unsubscribe to our electronic
newsletter at any time via e-mail by following the instructions contained at the
end of every newsletter.

delete personal information established at the time of registration for any
site. If you have questions about your information, please contact us at support@unreal-net.com.
2. Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need for any information from our users.
