Poemsource.com Privacy PolicyIn order to place Google AdSense ads on our site, we must have a privacy policy in place. This is our Privacy Policy to comply with Google's requirements. The only personal information that Poemsource.com collects is your e-mail address if you voluntarily enter it in the form that subscribes you to our newsletter. We only use those e-mail addresses to send the newsletter. We do not use them for any other purpose, nor do we reveal them to anyone else for any purpose, unless required to do so by law. If you would like to unsubscribe to the newsletter, simply click the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the newsletter. Poemsource.com collects no other personal information about you, nor does Poemsource.com place cookies or Web beacons on your site. Poemsource.com does not operate any information gathering technology whatsoever nor gather any personal information except what is specifically stated in this policy: the e-mail addresses of those who subscribe to our newsletter and replies to e-mails or postal letters we receive from you. However, we use Google AdSense and third-party advertising companies that partner with Google to serve ads when you visit our Web site. Both Google and these Google third-party advertising company partners collect information about your interests by placing and reading cookies on your browser, or using Web beacons to collect information in the course of ads being served on Poemsource.com. Cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable Google and other advertisers to recognize your browser. A Web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single Web site or collection of sites. They are also referred to as Web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a Web site. Cookies and Web beacons can enhance your Web surfing experience by presenting ads or information of interest to you based on your browsing history--what sites and pages you've chosen to visit in the past, for example. What they CANNOT do is personally identify you or connect you with the browsing history that they collect from you as you click around the Poemsource.com site and other sites you visit. Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be used to override Web beacons. Google and their third-party advertiser partners may use this information (which does NOT include your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to Poemsource.com and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services based on your interests as revealed by your Web browsing history. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here. The DoubleClick DART cookie is used by Google in the ads served on the Web sites of its partners, such as Web sites displaying AdSense ads or participating in Google certified ad networks. When users visit the Poemsource.com Web site and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on that end user's browser. The data gathered from these cookies will be used to help provide ads of interest to the visitors to Poemsource.com. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the advertising opt-out page. An alternative method of opting out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies is by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Also, you can set your Internet Explorer browser to delete your browsing history, including cookies, whenever you exit the browser. In addition, you may or may not find the following ad networks serving ads at Poemsource.com: You can visit these sites to see if they have made provision for you to opt out of their cookies, or you may be able to opt out at networkadvertising.org. This Web site is directed to adults; it is not directed to children under the age of 13. Even though we have poems for young children to use on, for example, Valentines, these poems are directed at teachers and parents who are helping the children to create greeting cards. We operate our site in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and will not knowingly collect or use personal information from anyone under 13 years of age. Poemsource.com reserves the right to make changes in this policy. If there is a material change in our privacy practices, we will indicate on our site that our privacy practices have changed and provide a link to the new privacy policy. We encourage you to periodically review this policy so that you will know what information we collect and how we use it.
