Children are not eligible to use our services and we ask that minors under 13 years of age do not submit any personal information to us.

2. Information We Collect

Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and personalized experience while using our services. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience easier and quicker.

Using the Site's web server log files, we use IP addresses to analyze trends, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser and operating system you are using, your IP address etc.

In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Cookies can also help us provide information which is targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session. The other type of cookie we use is a 'persistent' cookie. This stays on your hard drive and we use this to automatically identify who you are. We use this cookie so that you do not need to log in manually every time you visit the site if you are a registered user. The cookie itself contains no personally identifiable information but it does pass an ID to our server which allows us to tie the cookie to your personal information. We do this to allow us to let you know on the homepage what has changed on the site since your last visit. We also use the cookie to track how often you visit the site so we know who our most loyal users are. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you will not be able to use certain features on our site. For example, if you disable cookies, you will need to log in manually each time you visit the site as we cannot use a cookie to remember who you are. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by ProSkatingCoach.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Surveys & Contests. From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys, contests or for a particular service (e.g. newsletter). Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested will include contact information (as supplied to the site during registration) and supplementary information on your professional interests, opinions and preferences (e.g. choice of software, working practices, opinions on industry issues, feedback on the ProSkatingCoach.com web site). We will use the contact information to notify winners. We will not publish winners' details on the site though on request we will provide details of any winners' name and organization. If the survey or contest has a sponsor then we will share information given by entrants with the sponsor.

Payment Processing. In order to process payments online we require the billing address for the credit card used and our external payment provider requires your credit card details. For details of how your information is used, please see following section.

3. Our Use of Your Information

We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our site's content, layout, and services.

We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site, to resolve any disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular on rare occasions we may evaluate your information to look for users using multiple User IDs or alias.

Payment Processing. We take online payments for product purchases. In addition to the information outlined above, we require the billing address of the credit card you use so that we can pass this to our payment processors who check the address against the cardholder's details for security purposes. We store these billing details on our servers in case we need to contact you in the future regarding payments. Our payment processors require that you provide your credit card details to process the transaction. This is done on a secure server using SSL (secure sockets layer). ProSkatingCoach.com does not have any access to these credit card details and they are not stored or processed in any way by ProSkatingCoach.com. In the case of a suspected fraudulent transaction, card details may be disclosed to ProSkatingCoach.com by the payment processors for the sole purpose of performing further checks. ProSkatingCoach.com is not permitted to then retain these details. These details are stored securely by our payment processors in order to process future payments you may make, but our payment processors do not use your information for any other purpose.

Your Personal Information is stored in our databases, which are located in the US.

As a general proposition, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.

Advertisers. We do aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in aggregate to advertisers and for other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to personally identify you.

Legal Requests. ProSkatingCoach.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property and other rights. Local, and international law enforcement agents can request and may receive your personally identifiable information.

If you choose to post messages in our forums, or leave a message or comment in other areas of the site, or leave feedback for us or other users, we will store such information in a file personal to you. This is so that we can see what contributions you have made to the site.

7. "Tell a friend" services

ProSkatingCoach.com offers a service whereby you can e-mail site content to a friend or colleague. This will involve entering the e-mail address of your friend. We do not use the e-mail addresses you enter for any purpose other than to send your e-mail. We do not store, rent or sell these e-mail addresses.

8. Other Information Collectors

Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, whether they are other members of the Site or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them.

9. Security

In order to process and protect your credit card details, our payment providers use SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption. The secure server is hosted by the payment processors and not ProSkatingCoach.com.

On ProSkatingCoach.com site we use best endeavor to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information but we do not use encryption (such as SSL) or firewalls to further protect the information as it travels across the Internet. This is because we do not believe that, apart from the credit card information processed by our processors, the personal information we currently collect warrants such measures and the accompanying loss of speed experienced. You should be aware that "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.
