Crafts-and-Hobbies.com (CAH) has adopted a set of information management guidelines which serve as the basis for our customer and advertiser relationships. These guidelines have been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving, and that underlying business models are still not established. Accordingly, guidelines are subject to change. Any such changes will be posted on this page.

1. What information does Crafts-and-Hobbies.com gather/track about you?

CAH requires that CAH visitors supply personal information, including e-mail address, during a "registration" process to add a listing to the site. (Some of the personal information we request is voluntary; the word "not required" appears next to these questions.) On occasion, CAH also collects additional personal information from subscribers in optional contest and survey forms. Demographic information provided by a subscriber may be combined with site usage reports to profile, in aggregate form, users and their preferences in site content and advertising.

CAH also logs IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We do not log IP addresses to track a user's session, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

2. What does The Crafts-and-Hobbies.com do with the information it gathers/tracks?

CAH may perform statistical analyses of user behavior in order to measure relative consumer interest in the various areas of our site (for service development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen their advertising banners. In performance of these statistical analyses, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form. Personal information on individual subscribers will not be provided to any third party except for Crafts-and-Hobbies.com sponsors and partners as needed to help applicants in CAH searches.

Using the e-mail addresses provided at registration, CAH periodically sends promotional e-mail to its subscribers about services offered by CAH and its advertisers. A user can indicate on the subscriber registration form that he or she does not wish to receive e-mail information from CAH or its advertisers. CAH may contact a subscriber regarding account status or changes to the subscriber agreement.

3. With whom does The Crafts-and-Hobbies.com share the information it gathers/tracks?

CAH does not share the information it tracks, in aggregate form, with anyone outside of the company. We do not sell or share email addresses with third parties or advertisers.  CAH will provide a subscriber a summary of his or her personal information provided at registration upon request. This information will only be sent to the e-mail address on file for the subscriber name associated with it.

Upon request, CAH will remove any subscriber (and his or her personal information) from our database, or allow any subscriber to "opt out" of further contact (while still allowing access to the site) or change/correct personal information that the subscriber states is erroneous. To obtain an information summary or request a change of information, send e-mail to Customer Service.

CAH is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of Web sites to which it may link.
