This privacy statement is intended to give you, the user of this website, an awareness about what information this website collects, how this information is used, and how this affects your privacy while using this site.

Logging and Statistics
When a user views a page, image or other item on this site, the user's IP address, browser type, and the site you came from is stored in a log file. None of this information can be used to personally identify an individual user. The details stored in this log file may be used to provide statistics about the usage of this site, for the purpose of improving the site and to provide statistical information to advertisers. Only aggregated information is given, and the log file itself is not available to the public.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. The use of cookies on this site is restricted to the community forum areas of the site only.

The community forum area of this site uses a single cookie named "AmphigoryKey". The cookie is only given to registered members of the community forums. It is provided for convenience to the member. This cookie is used to identify the current user to the bulletin boards, to prevent the user from needing to log in each time a message is posted or each time a member accesses a member page of the forums.

It is possible for users to reject cookies. This is a feature of the user's browser. It is possible to view the community forums of this site without cookies, and it is also possible to register, access member pages and post messages. However, some extra features such as access to private or restricted forums, or user selected colour schemes, are not available without cookies.

The information in cookies on this site is in no way able to track the user's actions or behaviour, or gain demographic information on the user.

Occasionally, a third party such as an advertiser may display an advertisement on the site that uses cookies. These cookies are not sent from our site and we have no access to the information in these cookies.

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. This feature may also ask for the sender's email address. This site will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. The email addresses used in this feature will not be stored or recorded in any way.

Registration
In order to use the community forums area of this site, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as a user name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic or biographic information, and unique identifiers, but encouraged so we can provide a more personalised experience on our site.

Special Offers
We send all new community forum members a welcoming email to verify password and user name. Established members may occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.

Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes, or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the community forums "Profile" page, one of the other member pages, or by emailing our Customer Support.

Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our site or its partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by visiting our unsubscribe tool or by emailing us at support@mostlyamphigory.com.

Members of our community forums are subscribed to our community update when they register for a username. These members can unsubscribe in the same way as any other subscriber.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our site so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify members by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
