Online Privacy Policy
Treksimms is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read the Treksimms Online Privacy Statement below and also any supplemental information listed for additional details about particular Treksimms sites and services that you may use.
This Treksimms Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by Treksimms through the majority of its websites and services. It does not apply to those Treksimms sites and services that do not display or link to this statement or that have their own privacy statements.
----
Collection of Your Personal Information
----
At some Treksimms sites, we ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address and name. In order to access some Treksimms services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with Treksimms sites and services. Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.
----
Use of Your Personal Information
----
Treksimms collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the services. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that are customized our customers. We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, information on technical service issues, and security announcements.
----
Sharing of Your Personal Information
----
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside of Treksimms without your consent. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings or performing statistical analysis of our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is necessary to:
(a) comply with the law or legal process served on Treksimms;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of Treksimms (including the enforcement of our agreements); or
(c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Treksimms services or members of the public.
----
Accessing Your Personal Information
----
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In order to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will be required to sign in with your credentials (e-mail address and password).
----
Security of Your Personal Information
----
Treksimms is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
----
Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
----
Many Treksimms sites and services are intended for general audiences and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. When a Treksimms site does collect age information, and users identify themselves as under 13, the site will either block such users from providing personal information, or will seek to obtain consent from parents for the collection, use and sharing of their children's personal information. We will not knowingly ask children under the age of 13 to provide more information than is reasonably necessary to provide our services.
Please note that if you grant consent for your child to use Treksimms services, this will include such general audience communication services as e-mail, messaging, and online groups, and your child will be able to communicate with, and disclose personal information to, other users of all ages. Parents can change or revoke the consent choices previously made, and review, edit or request the deletion of their children's personal information. If we change this privacy statement in a way that expands the collection, use or disclosure of children's personal information to which a parent has previously consented, the parent will be notified and we will be required to obtain the parent's additional consent. We encourage you to talk with your children about communicating with strangers and disclosing personal information online. You and your child can visit other online safety resources for additional information about using the Internet safely.

Use of Cookies
----
Treksimms websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Treksimms websites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these sites.
When you sign in to a site using your credentials, we store your unique ID number, and the time you signed in, in a cookie on your hard disk. This cookie allows you to move from page to page at the site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out, these cookies are deleted from your computer.
----
Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
----
Treksimms is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." Treksimms has a strict Anti-Spam Policy prohibiting the use of any account to send spam. Treksimms will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties. While Treksimms continues to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
