 Internet Privacy Policy
Wasted America is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of our Internet site visitors. Wasted America adheres to a strict policy for preserving the integrity of personally identifiable information (such as full name, address, email address, telephone number and/or other identifiable information). Accordingly, we follow standard industry guidelines and will continue to review and improve our privacy policy and procedures to ensure the safety and protection of visitor information.
Wasted America does, however, collect certain non-personally identifiable information about you, such as your browser type (for example, Netscape or Internet Explorer), the server your computer is logged into, the type of computer operating system you use (Macintosh or Windows, for instance). This information is tracked for a better understanding of how our site is being used. This allows us to troubleshoot technical problems and to customize our editorial content.
Gathering and Use of Information
1. We will not collect personally identifiable information from you, other than what you supply to us on a voluntary basis or as a condition of web site membership.
2. In order to participate in some activities, you might be asked to provide some personally identifiable information. This could be in connection with the following:
•Special feature registration
•Transactions for becoming a member
•The purchase of products and/or services
3. Wasted America and our affiliated web sites will not willfully disclose your personal information to any third party.
4. Email addresses provided in some registration modules allow Wasted America and our affiliated web sites to send email to individuals based on areas of interest indicated during the registration process.
5. Wasted America may use your personally identifiable information (that you provided voluntarily) for internal marketing purposes.

This is the only case where such information could potentially be provided to a third party.
Tracking and Use of Cookies
The Wasted America web site and affiliate web sites currently utilize “cookies” - special computer codes used to track user activity.
1. Cookies contain no information about you – only a unique number or id with no meaning whatsoever outside of the tracking system. Cookies help to target sponsorship information and measure the effectiveness of user access. Cookies can enhance the Internet user’s experience on the web by minimizing the need to re-authenticate user access, or in some cases, to ensuring that you do not see the same sponsor information repeatedly.
2. Cookies cannot be used to personally identify you in any way. All users who receive a sponsor message remain completely anonymous. If you do not want the benefits of cookies, there is a simple procedure that allows you to deny or accept this feature. In order to “opt out” of the benefits of cookies, you may delete your cookies by following the instructions contained in the Help section of your browser, but please note that by disabling the cookies for this site or one of our affiliate sites, login sessions may not be kept and user access (where applicable) will be limited.
Some of our affiliated web sites use cookie technology to offer special features such as localization options, user access tracking and sponsorship banners on certain web pages.
