This site is owned
and operated by Masterpiece Industries, Inc. Your
privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance
to us. At Masterpiece Industries, Inc., we want to
make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about
our users, we feel you should fully understand the
terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use
of that information. This privacy statement discloses
what information we gather and how we use it.
Definition of the Information Masterpiece Industries,
Inc. gathers and tracks
Masterpiece Industries, Inc. gathers two types of
information about users:

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly
request personally identifiable information from anyone
under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage Tracking
Masterpiece Industries, Inc. tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate
this information with data about individual users.
Masterpiece Industries, Inc. does break down overall
usage statistics according to a user's domain name,
browser type, and MIME type by reading this information
from the browser string (information contained in
every user's browser).
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie"
in the browser files of your computer. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information although
it will enable us to relate your use of this site
to information that you have specifically and knowingly
provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A
cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. Masterpiece Industries,
Inc. uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as
described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message
with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies
to participate actively in message boards, forums,
polling and surveys.
Use of Information
Masterpiece Industries, Inc. uses any information
voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience
in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the sites or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of our
users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic newsletters
and to provide requested information. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending
on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special
editions when we think subscribers might be particularly
interested in something we are doing. Masterpiece
Industries, Inc. never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors
or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas, we do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you.
Security
Masterpiece Industries, Inc. operates secure data
networks protected by industry standard firewall and
password protection systems. Our security and privacy
policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as
necessary and only authorized individuals have access
to the information provided by our customers.
