Privacy Policy
This privacy statement is applicable to Mammoth Communications Service
(herein known as Mammoth Communications) and all of its affiliates.
Mammoth Communications does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable
information from children under the age of 13. Mammoth Communications’
policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. Mammoth Communications
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 purchase
of products or services offered on the site, 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
but may be shared with the applicable online partner collecting such personally
identifiable information. At such points of collection, the user may 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 Mammoth Communications and/or
any third parties.
Further, notwithstanding any opt out of promotional information by the
user, Mammoth Communications 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.
Mammoth Communications may disclose user information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally)
Mammoth Communications’ rights or property, other users, or anyone
else that could be harmed by such activities. Mammoth Communications may
disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires
it. Mammoth Communications reserves the right to perform statistical analyses
of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and
use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such
information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or
clicked on their advertising banners. Mammoth Communications will provide
only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties. Also, users
should be aware that Mammoth Communications might sometimes permit third
parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services through
Mammoth Communications site. Mammoth Communications is not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check
the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally
identifiable information.
Users should be aware that when you are on Mammoth Communications site
you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There
are links to other sites from Mammoth Communications site that take you
outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner
advertisement, the "click" takes you off Mammoth Communications
site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that
may use a logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may
send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information.
Always be aware of where you end up. Additionally, users should be aware
that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information
(e.g., user name, e-mail address) on bulletin boards or in the chat areas
of Mammoth Communications’ site, if any, that information, along
with any substantive information disclosed in the user's communication,
can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result
in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities
are beyond the control of Mammoth Communications.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data may
be automatically collected through the standard operation of Rainy Day
Software’s internet servers or through the use of "cookies."
Cookies are small text files a web site can use to recognize repeat users,
facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the site and allow
a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow
content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs
that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work
by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the
assigning site. Users should be aware that Mammoth Communications cannot
or does not control the use of cookies or the resulting information by
advertisers or third parties hosting data for Mammoth Communications.
If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies,
there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny
or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies
may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized
delivery of information and ordering on the ecommerce shopping cart) available
on Mammoth Communications’ site. Mammoth Communications will use
reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct personal information
previously submitted which the user states is erroneous to the extent
such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also,
upon a user's request, Mammoth Communications will use commercially reasonable
efforts to functionally delete the user and his or her personal information
from its database; however, it may be impossible to delete a user's entry
without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions.
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information
associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great
care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC
to our servers, utilizing encryption software. Only those employees who
need access to your information in order to do their jobs are allowed
access, each having signed compressive nondisclosure agreements, which
provides explicit legal confidentiality protections. Any employee who
violates our privacy and/or security policies is subject to disciplinary
action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
Mammoth Communications reserves the right to change this policy at any
time. Substantive changes to this privacy statement will be noticed by
posting notice of such changed policy on this page. Please check this
page regularly. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not
intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in
or on behalf of any party. By using this site, you signify your assent
to Mammoth Communications’ Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to
this policy, please do not use our site. Your continued use of Mammoth
Communications’ site following the posting of changes to these terms
will mean you accept those changes. Questions regarding this statement
