Midnight Plumbers Privacy Policy
The Midnight Plumbers are strongly committed to protecting privacy and providing a safe online experience for our users. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected online through the Midnight Plumbers web site.
We don't collect or need to collect very much information about users but if we do you can be sure that we will treat it with the confidentiality it deserves.
Collection and Tracking of Personal Information
So that we can provide you with a delightfully personalised experience, we request some information about you on certain areas of the site: typically the forum and guestbook. We collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses and demographic information such as age, gender, interests and zip code. We also may collect your IP address, browser type, domain name and referring Web site address.
What We Do With Collected Information
We use personal information so that we may display custom, personalized content to our visitors and send newsletters, emails, features and other updates to our users. A user may, at any time, opt out of receiving such information. We also use collected information to evaluate and administer our service, respond to any problems that may arise and to gauge user trends to determine what part of our services are most popular with users.
We reserve the right to use or disclose any information without notice or consent as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request; to conduct investigations of consumer complaints or possible breaches of law; to protect the integrity of our site and our property; to protect the safety of our visitors or others; to fulfill your requests; or to cooperate in any legal investigation.
You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose information online, personal or otherwise, that information can be collected and used by others. For example, if you use our forum and elect to display your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages from others. The Midnight Plumbers have no control over this use of your personal information.
Use of Cookies
Your browser offers so-called "cookies" which, if you allow their use, store small amounts of data on your computer when you visit a Web site. Cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information about you and therefore cannot be used to identify you personally. Cookies simply assist us in making your experience with us more enjoyable by, for example, preventing you from having to log in every time you visit our forum. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies when you access our forum or by modifying your browser and our Web sites are viewable even if you disable the cookie function on your browser. However, if you disable cookies, some advanced and customized features of our site will not be available to you.
Controlling Your Personal Information
You may, at any time, change, correct, modify or delete any personal information you may have provided to the Midnight Plumbers by visiting the User Control Panel option in the Plumbing Forum.
Security of Your Personal Information
We limit access to private and confidential data only to those Midnight Plumbers with a specific need to retrieve this information.

All portions of the Midnight Plumbers web site can be used by children under the age of 13.
Our site may collect information about children under 13 should they participate in our forum. Use of such activities requires initial registration by the participant. Children under 13 who wish to register are asked to have a parent or legal guardian do so for them.
Visitors Outside the United States
Our Web site and the servers that make this site available worldwide are located in the United States. Any information you provide will be transferred to the United States. By visiting our site and submitting information, you authorize this transfer.
Changes to this Policy
We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy as necessary to maintain the highest protection for our users and to comply with a changing environment. We recommend that you check the policy when you visit our site to be sure you are aware of and understand our current policy.
