Legal Information

Ripped From The Crypt respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information that you share with us. Generally, you can browse through our website without giving us any information about yourself. When we do need your personal information to provide services that you request or when you choose to provide us with your personal information, this policy describes how we collect and use your personal information.

Information Collection

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information, title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have previously indicated that you wish Ripped From The Crypt to remember your login and password. We don’t automatically collect personal information, including your email address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to any personal information unless you have logged in to our website.

Like many other commercial websites, the Ripped From The Crypt website may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the site. Please go to “Cookies and Tracking Information” below for more information.

Ripped From The Crypt collects personal information when you register with Ripped From The Crypt for a user account, when you use certain Ripped From The Crypt services, when you register to submit articles or participate in an online survey, when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing list, or you submit an entry for a sweepstakes or other promotions, or when you submit your personal information to Ripped From The Crypt for any other reason. You may leave comments without registering but we do require you to leave your name and email address. This is used to combat spam and your email address is never displayed to other users.

Notice

When personal information is collected, we will inform you at the point of collection the purpose for the collection. Ripped From The Crypt will not transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except under the limited conditions described under the discussion entitled “Information Sharing and Disclosure” below.

If you choose to provide us with your personal information, we may only transfer that information, within Ripped From The Crypt or to Ripped From The Crypt’s third party service providers with your permission. Upon receiving your permission, we may transfer your information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.

We will always give you the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving direct marketing or market research information. This means we assume you have given us your consent to collect and use your information in accordance with this Policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent. In order to submit reviews and articles we will require certain personal details and we automatically assume your consent, should you wish at any stage to remove your consent you are still welcome to browse the site and use its features but will no longer be allowed to submit material to us. In some cases, when applicable, we will provide you with the opportunity to “opt in.” This means we will require your affirmative action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted.

Cookies and Tracking Technology

A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of Ripped From The Crypt’s website use cookies to recognise you on return visits and to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of Ripped From The Crypt’s website if you do so. In particular, you may be required to accept cookies in order to complete certain actions on our website.

You do not need to have cookies turned on, however, to use/navigate through many parts of our website, except access to certain of Ripped From The Crypt’s systems and web pages may require a login and password.
