The content on this website is maintained by MadWolf Technologies, 818 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 250, Washington, DC 20006. If you would like to provide feedback regarding the website, please email us at: info@madwolf.com.
This privacy policy, together with the Terms and Conditions, sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read this privacy policy carefully. By visiting this website you are accepting the terms of this privacy policy. It is the stated policy of MadWolf that they will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current best practice with regard to the processing of personal data.
MadWolf takes your online privacy seriously. You may visit this site anonymously as often as you like without providing any personally identifying information (such as your name, address or email address). We do not collect personally identifying information from you except when you specifically provide it, and we protect the information we receive. With your consent we may gather personal information from you through website enquiries, sales, surveys or newsletters. We do not generally link your name to cookies unless you specifically provide your name to us, and we do not share it with third parties without obtaining your consent first. Please read below for a further explanation of the information we gather and how we use it.
1. Collection of data and how information we hold about you can be used
As you explore our website, you may come across places in which we ask you to provide us with information about yourself. We explain each of these below. We will not use your name or email address for any purpose other than as stated.
1.1 In some places in this site, we ask for your feedback, opinion or suggestions, and provide you with a link for emailing us your response. But we will only use the email address we receive from you for the purpose of responding to your questions or suggestions.
1.2 On occasion, we may seek to gather a broader profile of some of the visitors to sections of this site (e.g. through surveys or competitions). The information that we request, may be provided to our marketing or publicity departments. It may also be shared with our content providers, such as advertisers, to provide them with demographic information about the visitors to our site. In the event of competitions would ask for your email address and your name so that we can contact you in the event that you win. If you decide to participate, we will not use your name or email address for any purpose other than as stated.
1.3 An additional area in which we ask for your name is on bulletin boards, blogs or forums – places on the site where you can participate in a discussion of a particular subject by posting written comments which are then entirely public. You may need to register your details in order to do so. Registration information will not be disclosed and is for security purposes only. You should be aware that if you do disclose personal information on the bulletin boards or forums, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. By participating in these discussions, you should remember that you are legally liable for the material you post, including libel and copyright infringement.
1.4 On occasion, we may run adverts either on this site, or from elsewhere which direct you to this site. These adverts may use cookies (as described in 3) to gather statistical data for us and themselves. This information will not identify you as an individual. These adverts may, however, ask for your name and/or email address as part of a promotion or for receiving information as described. Please note that it is important to check or uncheck any box that may ask whether you wish to receive further information either from ourselves or a third-party. Your information will only be used in the manner that you have specified.
2. Storage, correction and disclosure of personal data
2.1 We will retain the data we hold concerning you for as long as it is necessary to do so. We will retain and disclose personal data to authorised authorities without your consent where we are required to do so under the law. Should you wish MadWolf to cease using your data as set out in this policy, please contact us at: info@madwolf.com. Please be aware that by doing this you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features.
3. Cookies
3.1 Cookies are electronic tags that most websites place on your computer in the process of sending your computer a file, such as a web page. We use them as well. A cookie can tell us when a computer that has previously visited our site returns, and what pages it requests on each of its visits. Cookies help us keep track of how our visitors (or more accurately, their computers) use our site, including such things as the type of browser they use, the frequency of their visits and the pages that are most popular. They can help smooth your travel through our site by keeping track of information that has already been provided by your computer so that you do not need to re-enter it. In no event does the cookie we place on your computer tell us anything about your visits to other websites (this information can be obtained if you enter through a link on our site, but it will not identify you individually), or your use of the internet in any other way. If you would still prefer not to receive any cookies, most browsers can be set to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being sent. However, some portions of this site may not function properly if the cookies are disabled. See also 1.4.
4. Links to other sites
4.1 Our site contains links to other sites that are not under our control, even though they may refer to MadWolf on their site through an agreement with us. Such other sites do not necessarily follow our privacy policies, and may place their own cookies on your computer. This practice is standard on the Web. We do not control cookies placed on your computer by third parties whose advertising or links appear on our site.
5. Security of private information
5.1 We would like to be able to tell you that the personal information you provide us with is absolutely safe. Unfortunately, several well-publicised instances of computer security breaches make it impossible for anyone to be so confident. However we take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide us from theft, alteration or unauthorized inspection.
6. Parents and guardians
6.1 We encourage you to get involved with your children’s online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating. We also ask you to check back here regularly to see what our latest policies are, particularly those relating to children. You should be aware that if your children voluntarily disclose their names, email addresses or other information on bulletin boards or chat areas of this or other websites, such disclosures may result in unsolicited messages from other parties. We suggest that you discourage your child from providing such information on this site or elsewhere unless you are confident that the information will not be misused.
