Web Site Privacy Policy

This policy covers information collected by scottishhistory.com.

Customer Information: No information is collected on the website.

Information About Children: ScottishHistory.com does not attempt to collect personal information from children.  If children do send personal information to ScottishHistory.com, the information is deleted. Note that ScottishHistory.com cannot always determine that a user is a child. ScottishHistory.com does not maintain databases about children.

Web Site Log Files: Like most web sites log files are generated that show the IP Address of the visitor, date, time, and pages visited.  Aggregate reports for web site visitors are generated that do not contain personally identifiable information. Advertising reports are generated that show the IP addresses of visitors who clicked on ads.  This information may be sent to the advertiser to confirm the advertising fee charged. The advertiser already has this information as a result of the user clicking on the ad. No additional information about the visitor is supplied to the advertiser. The log files are eventually deleted.

Cookies: Internet 'cookies' are not used at ScottishHistory.com.

No Third Party Downloads: Certain images may be downloaded from third party servers for advertising purposes.

External Linking: The logging of clicks for external links using "redirects" is only done for advertisements. This is indicated by link to a URL such as '/redirect.asp?url=...'  The external URL is clearly marked in the "url=" portion. This is done to create the advertising reports described above in order to bill the advertiser.

Mailing Lists: ScottishHistory.com may maintain subscription mailing lists. All users must opt-in to the mailing list and confirm their subscriptions via return e-mail. Users are never added based on requesting information.

User Registration: The ScottishHistory.com site does not require user registration. 

The restrictions on the dissemination of personal information are not subject to change.  The policy is updated occasionally but the changes will not reduce the privacy protection of visitors.  If there are changes made in the future the changes will not affect information already collected.
