In an effort to respect visitor privacy and comply without piles of record keeping, we have avoided the use of all "Cookies" and removed any web site provisions to request, accept, or retain any personally identifiable information from visitors.
Last update 11/2022.
Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose, and make use of personal information (and meet Federal, State of California, and European Economic Area Laws / Regulations:-). The following outlines our privacy policy.
What do we use your information for?
To provide you with the highest level of privacy, ParkPennies.com avoids collection of any visitor's personally identifiable information.
Do we use cookies?
NO.
In mid May of 2018, ParkPennies.com removed the last two anonymized (not personally identifiable) "ParkPennies.com" cookies that had been used for web site analytics. If any ParkPennies cookies are still present in your browser from past visits, delete them or in time they will expire on their own. Your web site experience should not get any worse. :-)
Note: Some browsers, may add a cookie for scroll position of a web site page as part of the operation of your browser. However, it's not a cookie placed by or controlled by this web site.
Do we disclose any personally identifiable information to outside parties?
NO.
We're proud to be a free, non-commercial hobbyist reference web site... with nothing for sale. Therefore we have no need to collect any personally identifiable information like payment / credit card information, home addresses, credit card numbers, secret lucky Lotto numbers, phone numbers, etc. We also do not partner with any advertisers or use "pop-up ads", "web ads" or "Pay Walls" commonly seen on the 'net which often collect information about you. So, we have no need to collect or retain personally identifiable information as do many commercial web sites. Accordingly, we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties any personally identifiable information. This practice assures you and us that this is a non-profit website. :-)
However, we may need to release any information we have (if any) when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.
Third party links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer links that we feel may be helpful to third party web sites, products, or services on our web site. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
Because we value your privacy, (and ours :-), we have taken the necessary precautions to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. Therefore if we wind up with your personal information, which as you can see, we are trying to avoid, we will not distribute it to outside parties without your consent.
Online Privacy Policy Only
This online privacy policy applies only to information collected on or by our web site(s) and not to information provided / collected off-line. (Off-line includes but is not limited to such things as communications sent to or from visitors, fellow collectors, ParkPennies staff or contributors via text messages, emails, phone calls, and postal letters directly and or privately. Such communications are only by your choice, not a condition of using this web site, open, and independent of our web sites that is, "off-site".)
