Privacy Notice

Safeguarding Our Members' Privacy

Your privacy is very important to CYBERMIDI.com. Our Privacy Policy spells out CYBERMIDI's commitment to respecting the privacy of CYBERMIDI.com members. CYBERMIDI.com reserves the right to change this policy, and we will notify you of any changes.

Collection of Information on Our Members

Collection of information is usually grouped into two categories: personally identifiable information and so-called "aggregate" information. Personally identifiable information is any information in CYBERMIDI's possession that is associated with a specific Member (such as a name or address) and information we collect about how individual Members use CYBERMIDI.com (such as the fact that a Member visits sports pages, or has purchased merchandise through CYBERMIDI.com.) It does not include aggregate information, which is general demographic information (such as the total number of Members who are more than 35 years old), or information which a Member has made public on CYBERMIDI.com.

Personally Identifiable Information

CYBERMIDI.com uses personal information only for the following purposes:

• to process requests and orders placed with advertisers, merchants and service providers on CYBERMIDI.com;
• to personalize CYBERMIDI.com based on Members’ interests, including making Members aware of editorial features, advertisements, and commercial offerings that may be of interest;
• to communicate with Members, including promoting CYBERMIDI.com;
• to register a Member for a contest or sweepstakes and to administer or make related offers from the same;
• to serve Members when they have questions or problems;
• to perform normal business operations, such as billing, collection, and accounting; and to investigate complaints and protect CYBERMIDI.com and its Members, in compliance with the law, the CYBERMIDI.com Member Agreement, Interactive Features Guidelines and CYBERMIDI.com policies.
• analyze how current or future CYBERMIDI.com features may operate on your equipment;
• monitor or improve the performance of CYBERMIDI.com software on your equipment;
• to tell you about enhancements and offerings that may become available (such as memory or equipment upgrades).
• Your authorization also allows CYBERMIDI.com to provide you with consistently fast and reliable network access by sending diagnostic data about your computer and your connections with CYBERMIDI.com. Such data includes call failure data, communications bit rate, local access number used, version numbers, and modem type. CYBERMIDI.com will use this information to evaluate and improve the quality of your connections.

CYBERMIDI.com uses strict procedures and safeguards designed to protect the privacy of all personal information. All CYBERMIDI.com employees with access to personal information are required to follow specific practices concerning its proper handling. CYBERMIDI's employees never inspect or disclose to others the contents of these private messages except with the specific consent of the sender or recipient, or as specifically authorized or required by law.

Aggregate Information

CYBERMIDI.com tracks the total number of visitors to each of our pages within CYBERMIDI.com in an aggregate form to allow us to update and improve our sites. Personally identifiable information is not extracted in this process. CYBERMIDI.com may use or disclose aggregated (not personally identifiable) information for any purpose.

On a limited basis, we use "cookie" technology. Cookies are pieces of information that an Internet site transfers to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Our servers then use these cookies to make your sessions easier by saving your preferences while you are on CYBERMIDI.com pages. The use of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them almost everywhere on the Internet. There are two cookies used throughout CYBERMIDI.com pages. The first CYBERMIDI.com cookie allows CYBERMIDI.com to know who the Member is and that he or she properly authenticated into our network. This cookie information can be used to retrieve personal information needed during the Member session, for example, to build your customized pages. The second cookie is an "advertising" cookie which CYBERMIDI.com uses to keep track of the ads the Member has seen. CYBERMIDI.com tracks which ads have been viewed, and we tie it to Members’ demographic data, but not to personally identifiable information. Remember, this describes cookie usage ONLY on CYBERMIDI.com sites. CYBERMIDI.com has no control over the use of cookies by other Internet sites and their owners.

If a Member enters our pages from the site of one of CYBERMIDI's partners, our system will recognize the path the visitor has taken. Such partners are companies such as computer or modem manufacturers with whom CYBERMIDI.com engages in promotional deals. The benefits of these deals are often passed on to CYBERMIDI.com Members.
