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

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,

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 37215

REGARDING UPDATES
From time to time, we may update this privacy notice. We
will notify you about material changes in the way we treat personally identifiable
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.
