Thank you for visiting the Web site of The Charlie Daniels Band ("CDB"
or "we" or "us"). Your privacy is important to us.
To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our
online information practices and the choices you can make about the
collection and use of the personal information you submit on Web pages
where this policy is posted.
As we operate
internationally, and many of our computer systems are currently based
in the United States, your personal data will be processed by us in
the U.S. where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer
the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as
the European Union. If you create a user account with this site as a
visitor from outside the United States, you will be asked during the
initial registration to consent to the collection and/or processing
in the United States of your personally identifiable information, which
includes the use of cookies as described below.
THE INFORMATION
WE COLLECT
At the CDB
Web site, you may be able to order products, enter contests, vote in
polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of our services
such as our online newsletters, or participate in one of our online
forums or communities. The types of personally identifiable information
that may be collected at these pages include: name, address, e-mail
address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, and
information about your interests in and use of various products, programs,
and services.
At the CDB Web site, you may be able to submit information about other
people. For example, you might submit a person's name and e-mail address
to send an electronic greeting card and, if you order a gift online
and want it sent directly to the recipient, you might submit the recipient's
name and address. The types of personally identifiable information that
may be collected about other people at these pages include: recipient's
name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
At certain parts of some of our sites, only persons who provide us with
the requested personally identifiable information will be able to order
products, programs, and services, or otherwise participate in the site's
activities and offerings. We also collect certain non-personally identifiable
information when you visit many of our Web pages such as the type of
browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type
of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows 2000 or Mac OS), and
the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online,
Earthlink).
HOW WE USE
THE INFORMATION
We use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests
for our products, programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries
about our offerings, and to offer you other products, programs or services
that we believe may be of interest to you.
We use this information to communicate with you, such as to notify you
when you have won one of our contests or when we make changes to our
subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter,
or to contact you about your account with us.
We use the information that you provide about others to enable us to
send them your gifts or cards. From time to time, we also may use this
information to offer our products, programs, or services to them.
The information we collect in connection with our online forums and
communities is used to provide an interactive experience. We use this
information to facilitate participation in these online forums and communities
and, from time to time, to offer you products, programs, or services.
If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., a "letter
to our editors"), we may publish your screen name and other information
you have provided to us. We use the non-personally identifiable information
that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to
enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this
information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer
you products, programs, or services.
We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal
process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We
also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement
agency's request or where we believe it is necessary to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any
person, violations of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by
law. In addition, we may transfer information about you if we are acquired
by or merged with another company.
Agents and contractors of CDB who have access to personally identifiable
information are required to protect this information in a manner that
is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the
information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they
are performing for CDB.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized
disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable
information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that
is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
At some places on our Site, we may ask your permission to disclose personally
identifiable information about you to companies whose practices are
not covered by this Privacy Policy (e.g., other marketers, magazine
publishers, retailers, participatory databases and non-profit organizations)
that want to market products or services to you. If at some point you
grant us permission to transfer your information for these purposes
and later decide that you no longer want us to do so, simply send us
an email at lawofficeofwaynehalper@comcast.net and we will edit your
preferences accordingly.
We may, on occasion, combine information we receive online with outside
records to enhance our ability to market to you those products or services
that may be of interest to you. When registering with our site, we provide
you with an opportunity to express your preferences with respect to
receiving details about other products and services from CDB and about
products and services from selected third parties. If you ever decide
in the future that you would like to update these preferences, you may
do so by sending us an email at lawofficeofwaynehalper@comcast.net and
we will edit your preferences accordingly. Finally, we will not use
or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways
unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with
an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.
COLLECTION
OF INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTY SITES AND SPONSORS
Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information practices
may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites'
privacy policies, as we have no control over information that is submitted
to, or collected by, these third parties.
We sometimes may offer content (e.g., contests, sweepstakes, or promotions)
that is sponsored by or co-branded with identified third parties. By
virtue of these relationships, the third parties may obtain personally
identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit to participate
in the site activity. We have no control over these third parties' use
of this information. The site will notify you at the time of requesting
personally identifiable information if these third parties will obtain
such information.
At the CDB Web site, reputable third parties may present or serve the
advertisements. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information
that a third party ad server may collect from you.
COOKIES AND
OTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION
We send "cookies" to your computer primarily to enhance your
online experience. "Cookies" are files that can identify you
as a unique customer and store your personal preferences as well as
technical information (including click through and click stream data).
Cookies can either be permanent (i.e., they remain on your computer
until you delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until you
close your browser). We may also use "Web beacons" that monitor
your use of our sites. Web beacons (or Web bugs) are small strings of
code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a Web page
for the purpose of transferring data, such as the IP (Internet Protocol)
address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the Web beacon
appears, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the page on which the
Web beacon appears, the time the page containing the Web beacon was
viewed, the types of browser that fetched the Web beacon and the identification
number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server.
When corresponding with you via HTML capable e-mail, Web beacons let
us know whether you received and opened our e-mail.
If you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information,
this information can be stored in or linked to other data stored in
the cookies/Web beacons.
By accepting this Privacy Policy, you specifically agree to our use
of cookies and Web beacons as described herein. You may adjust your
browser to reject cookies from us or from any other Web site. Additionally,
by setting your Web browser to display HTML e-mails as text only, you
may be able to prevent the use of some Web beacons. Please consult the
"Help" section of your browser for more information. However,
certain areas of our sites can only be accessed in conjunction with
cookies or similar devices and you should be aware that disabling cookies
or similar devices might prevent you from accessing some of our content.
OUR COMMITMENT
TO SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data security, and correctly use the information we collect online.
HOW YOU CAN
ACCESS OR CORRECT INFORMATION
To access the personally identifiable information that this CDB site
has collected about you online from the pages on which this Privacy
Policy is posted, to correct factual errors in such information, or
to update your interests, preferences or other portions of your user
profile, please send an email to lawofficeofwaynehalper@comcast.net.
To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps
to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Visitors to this site may participate in many activities without providing
any personally identifiable information. However, if a user wants to
participate in certain of our interactive features, we ask the user
to register and provide us with the following information: the user's
e-mail address and age information. When the person who registers indicates
that he or she is under 13, we will either collect no personally identifiable
information from that individual or inform the child that a parent's
verifiable consent is required or we will collect the e-mail address
of the user's parent in addition to the user's e-mail address. We use
the parent's e-mail address to seek the parent's verifiable consent
or notify the parent of his/her child's online activities and enable
the parent to unsubscribe his/her child from a newsletter or other similar
activity. If a user is under 13, we will not condition his/her participation
in an online activity on the disclosure of more information than is
reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. We do not share
children's information with outside third parties not bound by this
Privacy Policy. If you would like to review any personally identifiable
information that we have collected online from your child, have this
information deleted, and/or request that there be no further collection
or use of your child's information or if you have questions about these
information practices, you may contact us at lawofficeofwaynehalper@comcast.net,
or at Law Office of Wayne Halper, 3e902 Trimble Road, Nashville, Tennessee

information by placing a notice on our site. We encourage you to periodically
check back and review this policy so that you always will know what
information we collect, how we use it, and to whom we disclose it.
