Privacy Statement

I have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate my firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses my information gathering and dissemination practices for this website (PCIN.net).

There is no formal registration required to view the site. All pages are freely available to anyone. The server statistics program gathers the normal information (referrer, browser type, date, time, etc.). There are however forms for those subscribing to PCIN. The information gathered in those instances is as follows:

  1. Subscribe to PCIN - Every page has a form that can be filled out to subscribe to PCIN. Obviously the email address is gathered. The time and date of the submission is logged along with the IP address of the person subscribing. This protects me against someone saying they never asked to be subscribed.
  2. Request for FreeHelp - In the past, if you have emailed me directly asking for help or if you used to be registerd on the PCIN.net FreeHelp Forum, then you were automatically subscribed. Neither of these options are available now.

Only Graham Wing (Editor) and Chris Empey (Assistant Editor) see the subscriber list. No other individual or organization has access to this list.

Address Information

The only time address information is required is when the user wishes to have me send them something. All addresses are kept confidential and are used only for the purposes intended when the address was originally given under. I run contests in the newsletter, and in order to receive a prize, the subscriber needs to send me their mailing address.

Correct/Update

If a user would like to update the information I have on record, they can unsubscribe their old email address and resubscribe under their new email address. Any changes can also be sent to me personally at editor@pcin.net

Choice/Opt-Out

If someone wishes to stop receiving the PCIN newsletter, they can visit http://www.pcin.net/unsubscribe.php and unsubscribe at any time. A log file is kept of who has unsubscribed, and the date and time they did. This is just used for statistical purposes and once unsubscribed, the user will not receive future communications.
