OffsetX.com Privacy Policy
Offset Ventures, LLC, d/b/a, OffsetX.com (“OffsetX.com” or “we”) owns the information collected on OffsetX.com (the “Website”), a social networking service that allows users to “offset” the actions and support provided by enthusiasts of opposing interests and opinions through actions of their own. OffsetX.com respects the privacy of visitors to the Website. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand our privacy practices relating to information we gather on the Website.
The information we collect through the Website falls into two (2) categories: (i) personal information voluntarily supplied by visitors to the Website through optional registration, and (ii) aggregate information gathered as visitors navigate through the Website.
Personal information includes specific information that lets us know who you are, such as your name, email address, telephone number, address, and any other information we may require from time to time. To make use of certain features of the Website, visitors need to register and provide certain information to set up a personal profile. Supplying such information is voluntary, but if you do not supply the personal information we need, we may be unable to provide you with services we make available to other registered users of the Website. If you want to remain anonymous, you can still access certain features of our website available without registration. Registered users may also choose to provide or store non-personal information in their profiles, including, but not limited to, date of birth, interests, hobbies, schools attended, groups with whom you affiliate, messages, bulletins and personal statements. Aggregate information is information that cannot be traced back to any specific individual, is general in nature and does not by itself identify a specific individual. We automatically collect limited information about your computer configuration when you visit our site, including the type of browser software you use and your IP address. Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data -- such as the web pages you view. Your IP address does not identify you personally.
