Cranston respects the privacy of all individuals. This policy is intended to guide you as to our use of information that we may collect through this site and how we will use it.
Personally-Identifiable Information:
Cranston collects a limited amount of personally-identifiable information, specifically your name and e-mail address, when you write to us, registers for the forums, or subscribe to our newsletter. You also have the opportunity to provide us with your telephone number if you submit a comment, question, or report a problem using the site. You may have future opportunities to provide us with your address in connection with a contest or other promotion. We limit our use of this information to contacting you, and do not sell, lease, or rent this information to any third party. Some examples of when we may contact you include: to respond to a problem or suggestion from you, to provide you with requested information such as a newsletter or a forgotten password, to call your attention to new content on the site such as a contest or survey, and to alert you to changes in this policy or our terms of service agreement. We may also use the information to contact you regarding your responsibilities under our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, if necessary.
Other Information:
We also collect non-identifying information, such as your time zone and your zip code. This may be used to ensure proper chronology of postings and deliver geographically-specific content, such as local quilt festivals in the events calendar.
Information about Children:
If you are under 13, please be careful in your use of the internet, and do not provide us with any information about yourself. Do not subscribe to our newsletter service, and do not register to use the Forum. Cranston encourages parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet use. Also, Cranston strongly encourages parents to help Cranston enforce its Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide personal information on the Site without permission. We do not knowingly collect any information about children under the age of 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will remove it from our database as quickly as possible.
Cookies:
This Site uses cookies delivered to your computer and associated with you to recognize return visitors and enhance your navigation of the site. You may opt-out of the cookies delivered by Cranston by changing the setting on your browser. Please be aware that this will disable all cookies delivered to your browser, not just the ones delivered by us.
Session Information:
Our web servers automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as which pages each user visits and the domain name (e.g., aol.com) of visitors. This information is used for various purposes including providing us with management tools to evaluate the traffic on the site and its effectiveness. We may also provide this information about our users on an aggregated, anonymous basis to our marketing and technology service providers, and our customers.
Changes to this Privacy Policy:
Cranston may occasionally update this Privacy Policy in Cranston’s sole discretion. While we will attempt to notify registered users to material changes and/or modifications, such notice is not required for changes to become effective, which will occur immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Site constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Links to Outside Third Parties:
Cranston may establish relationships with third party sites by creating a link between their sites and the Site. Cranston is not, however, responsible for the content, maintenance or privacy policies of those sites. Once you click over to a third party site, Cranston encourages you to check its privacy policy.
