business practices and our customers' needs.
What
Information Do We Collect?
When
you visit STLBlues you
may provide us with two types of information: personal
information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected in our Mailing List on an individual basis
and Web site use information collected on an aggregate
basis as you and others browse STLBlues.
1)
Personal Information You May Choose to Provide
Name | Mailing address | Email address | Home

Other personal information (i.e. mother’s maiden
name)
If
you choose to correspond further with us through email,
we may retain the content of your email messages together
with your email address and our responses. We provide
the same protections for these electronic communications
that we employ in the maintenance of information received
by mail and telephone.
2)
Web Site Use Information
Similar
to other commercial Web sites, STLBlues utilizes Web server logs to collect information about
how our Web site is used. Information gathered through
Web server logs may include the date and time of visits,
the pages viewed, time spent at STLBlues,
and more. This information is collected on an aggregate
basis. None of this information is associated with you
as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing better
service and making available other sections and services.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to STLBlues,
new services and special offers we think you will find
valuable. The lists used to send you information are
developed and managed under our traditional standards
designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our
members/customers’ personal information. Web
server logs allow us to count how many people visit STLBlues and evaluate STLBlues visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to
capture your individual email address or any personally
identifying information about you.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify
you about important changes to STLBlues,
new services and special offers we think you will find
valuable. Email
that you may send to us may not be secure. For that
reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information
such as Credit Card numbers, Social Security or bank
account numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We
utilize security software & hardware to safeguard
the confidentiality of personal information we collect
from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental
loss, alteration or destruction.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We
never provide aggregate information about our customers,
sales, Web site traffic patterns and related Web site
information.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We
may disclose information when legally compelled to do
so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe
that the law requires it or for the protection of our
legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to STLBlues?
We
are not responsible for the practices employed by Web
sites linked to or from STLBlues nor the information or content contained therein. Often
links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers
