General

Schizophrenia.com respects your privacy. When you visit our site, we want you to know what information we collect, why we collect it and where it goes. We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy described below.

Information We Gather and How We Use it

Our online discussion areas provide you the option of providing your contact information, such as your name and e-mail address. Your name or "nick name" on the schizophrenia.com web site can be real or fictional. Any form submitted from the Schizophrenia.com web site will also include your IP address. We use this to track fraudulent submissions and network abuse.

Cookies

A "cookie" is a piece of information that our Web site sends to your browser, which then stores this information on your system. If a cookie is used, our Web site will be able to "remember" information about you and your preferences either until you exit your current browser window (if the cookie is temporary) or until you disable or delete the cookie. Many users prefer to use cookies in order to help them navigate a Web site as seamlessly as possible. You should be aware that cookies contain no more information than you volunteer, and they are not able to "invade" your hard drive and return to the sender with personal or other information from your computer.

Our uses of "cookies" are limited to the following specific situations. The first situation is with respect to temporary cookies. There are two instances in which we use temporary cookies. First, if you are accessing our services through one of our online applications, our Web server may automatically send your browser a temporary cookie, which is used to help your browser navigate our site. The only information contained in these temporary cookies is a direction value that lets our software determine which page to show when you hit the back button in your browser.

Disclosure to Others

To serve you better, we use information provided by you to perform services that you request. We never sell any information to third parties/business affiliates.

We may disclose personal information to law enforcement officials and others when we, in our good faith judgment, believe that the law requires us to do so. We may also release selected personal information when that release is necessary, in our good faith and judgment, to apply or enforce the terms of our agreements with our customers and to protect our rights.

Links to Other Web Sites

For your convenience, this site may contain certain hyperlinks to other pages. While we have posted our Privacy Policy on our web site, we can make no promises or guarantees regarding data collection on the hyperlinked pages and sites. We therefore recommend that you read the privacy policy/statement for each site you visit.

Security

When you provide information on our web site, we take every precaution to keep your information secure. We limit access to personally identifiable customer information to those employees who have a legitimate business reason for the information. We educate our employees on the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of customer information and use disciplinary measures to enforce our privacy policy. Even though we take care in protecting your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of data on our system and our servers.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.

If users have any questions or suggestions regarding our privacy policy, please contact us online or by mail at: szwebmaster@yahoo.com
