This privacy statement is applicable to simNetwork.com, simNetwork.net, and all other simNetwork owned sites.

simNetwork does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from a contest or sweepstakes registration, the registration process for subscription sites or services and in connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g., chat and bulletin boards), suggestions, voting/polling activities and transactional areas. Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection. At such points of collection, the user will have the opportunity to indicate whether he or she would like to -opt out- of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from simNetwork and/or any third parties. Further, notwithstanding any opt out of promotional information by the user, simNetwork reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.

Like most website operators, SimNetwork collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. SimNetwork's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how SimNetwork's visitors use its website. From time to time, SimNetwork may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

SimNetwork also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. SimNetwork does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

SimNetwork does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
