PRIVACY POLICY
Effective: October 1, 2013
BoriquaChicks.com (“Boriqua Chicks”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) recognizes that our readers, users, visitors, customers and others who use www.BoriquaChicks.com, applications, or other websites owned or operated by BoriquaChicks.com (the “Boriqua Chicks Sites”) (collectively or individually “User”, “you”, or “your”) value their privacy. This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) details important information regarding the use and disclosure of User information collected on the Boriqua Chicks Sites.
The Privacy Policy only addresses our activities from our servers. Other websites, including those that we link to and third-party websites or services that we co-brand, may have their own policies, which we do not control, and thus are not addressed by this policy.
IP Address
An Internet Protocol address (“IP address”) is automatically assigned to your computer every time you establish a connection to the Internet. The Boriqua Chicks Sites recognize your IP address. Also, we track the Internet address of the domains from which you arrive to the Boriqua Chicks Sites, and we use this data for statistical analysis.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters that stores data on a User’s hard drive. A cookie cannot access a User’s hard drive, and only contains as much information as the User has disclosed to a particular website. We use both “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. A “session cookie” is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. A “persistent cookie” remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to a site. When you visit the Boriqua Chicks Sites we may set one or more cookies on your computer that uniquely identify your browser and collect non-personally identifiable information (“non-PII”) and in some cases personally identifiable information (“PII”) about your activity on the Boriqua Chicks Sites. We may track general information about each User’s activity on the Boriqua Chicks Sites such as how many searches you perform and what types of content you prefer on the Boriqua Chicks Sites. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information we collect or you submit on the Boriqua Chicks Sites.
We may store this information after the date of collection for various purposes, including, but not limited to: improving and iterating our technologies; understanding how you interact with the Boriqua Chicks Sites and the services we offer; customizing and improving your experience; and monitoring User activity on the Boriqua Chicks Sites in the aggregate.
Third-Party Cookies
We partner with third-party ad networks and allow such networks to set cookies to collect non-PII for the purpose of serving targeted ads. Such ad networks may use information about your activity on the Boriqua Chicks Sites to show advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Boriqua Chicks has no control over these ad networks or their use of the information they collect. To opt out of third-party behavioral targeting, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s consumer page at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. After opting out of a network, you will still receive online advertising, but the ads will no longer be tailored to your usage patterns.
Removal of Cookies
To remove persistent cookies, follow the directions in your web browser’s “Help” section. You can configure your browser preferences to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent, which will give you the choice whether to accept it or not. Please be advised that some features of the Boriqua Chicks Sites may not function properly if you disable your browser’s ability to accept cookies.
Your browser’s cookie settings may be sufficient indication of your consent to placement of and access to cookies on your computer by Boriqua Chicks, and Boriqua Chicks’s collection, use, and disclosure of non-PII and in some cases, PII about your activity on the Boriqua Chicks Sites.
