Short
Version: Your private
information will never be shared with a 3rd party!
...Edward "Mr Ed" Thorpe: Publisher
Our Lawyers Version:
Lazy Dude Publishers strives to offer its
visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an
interactive and personalized experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never
sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided.
For example, you may
be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites,
Lazy Dude Publishers also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools
that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the
name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to
recognize you and hold information from your visit.
Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each
time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a
particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other
means.
In certain cases, you can choose
not to provide us with information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable
to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter
your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the
site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your
visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are
most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared
with our advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
Lazy Dude Publishers
owned web sites to communicate with
you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms
of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
Lazy Dude Publishers and other topics we
think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
Lazy Dude Publishers may also be used for
other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you.
Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service for example) may access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law.
In addition, from time
to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy,
merge or partner with other companies or other businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.
We may also disclose
your information in response to a court order, at other times when
we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection
with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary.
Please note we may not provide you
with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Lazy Dude Publishers expects its partners,
advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be
aware, however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices.
For example, during your visit to
our
Lazy Dude Publishers
owned sites you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
Lazy Dude Publishers
owned page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, through
Lazy Dude Publishers
owned web sites, you may be introduced
to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests
or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
Lazy Dude Publishers is not responsible
for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check
the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that
enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our
site may offer services operated by third parties and may use
cookies or other technology to gather information.
Lazy Dude Publishers does not control the
use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of
such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the
control of
Lazy Dude Publishers and this policy.
Children.
Lazy Dude Publishers does not knowingly
collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about
children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have
received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this
policy, we will delete that information immediately.
If you believe
Lazy Dude Publishers has any information
from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address
listed below.

Changes to this Policy:
Lazy Dude Publishers reserves the right to
change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically
for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of
changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be
used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the
information was collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site are governed by Florida law. If
a dispute arises under this Policy we agree to first try to resolve
it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in the following

attorney fees associated with the mediation will be shared equally
by each of us.
If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory
solution through mediation, we agree to submit the dispute to
binding arbitration at the following location: Bay County, Florida,
under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any
court with jurisdiction to do so.
Lazy Dude Publishers is controlled,
operated and administered entirely within Florida. 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.
