Privacy Policy
VWworld is committed to its policy of protecting the privacy and confidential information of its members.
What personally identifiable information does VWworld collect and what does VWworld do with it?
Upon registration for the discussion forums, members provide us with personal information such as their name and e-mail address. We use this information to establish individual accounts, protected by a password the member selects. With respect to members, VWworld uses the e-mail address supplied in the registration process to confirm registration, and to send notices and updates to you concerning the services and the site.
VWworld also uses "cookies," or small pieces of information that we store on users' computers, to recognize returning users and to monitor traffic through the site. This information helps us to make the site better and more user-friendly. We also collect with either cookies or weblogs users' IP addresses and log in times that are identified by individual user.
Does VWworld Disclose My Personally Identifiable Information to Other Members?
Each Member chooses during registration whether to allow the public to view his or her e-mail address. The member can change this preference at any time through the discussion forum user preferences. VWworld does not otherwise disclose personal information.
Members should be aware, however, that in posting to the discussion forums that they may be disclosing their own personally identifiable information to members. The security and privacy protections in place on this site and through the service provided herein do not cover this type of transfer or disclosure of personal information. Members making or responding to discussion forum postings are solely responsible for the content.
To Whom Do We Disclose Personal Information?
As a rule, we will not sell, distribute, publish or otherwise disclose your personally identifying information without your express permission. However, if we believe you have breached the Terms of Use, especially with regard to transmitting, publishing or distributing material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing,obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law, we will report such conduct to the appropriate authorities and turn over any and all information, including personal identifying information, to appropriate persons or entities. We will also comply with any laws or legal process that may require disclosure of personal identifying information.
How does VWworld store my Personally Identifiable Information?
VWworld stores personal information of members in secure databases protected by passwords as well as database and network firewalls to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of personal information. While no security systems are infallible, BVerticals Inc. (VWworld's parent company) will prosecute any unauthorized access to secured information to the fullest extent of the law. VWworld periodically reviews and updates security measures to insure the best possible protections for the membership.
Can I Delete Personally Identifiable Information on the site?
You can notify us at any time to remove your registration information from our discussion forum database by emailing us at forums@vwworld.com. If you do that, we will not keep any personally identifiable records concerning you unless required to do so by law. However, if you make this request you will be unable to access or use the account you previously created and its associated content without going through the registration process again.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
If VWworld wishes to change this policy, it will publish changes on this Web site before those changes will take effect. As always, if you do not agree with VWworld's privacy policy, you have the option of requesting that we delete your personally identifiable information from the site.
. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove particular messages immediately.
Although VWworld does not and cannot review each and every message that is posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we reserve the right to delete any message for any reason whatsoever.
You agree, through your use of the Discussion Forums, that you will not post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.
You agree, through your use of the Discussion Forums, not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or VWworld.
You agree, through your use of the Discussion Forums, not to post advertising of any kind in the Forums (with the exception of links to VWworld Classified advertisements) whether you are a private party or company. The only exceptions to this policy are granted for current VWworld banner advertisers.
VWworld also reserves the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.
IN NO EVENT WILL VWWORLD BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES RELATING TO LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, LOST DATA, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION) RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF ANY MATERIALS POSTED ON OR MADE AVAILABLE IN THE DISCUSSION FORUMS OR ANY OTHER WEB SITE TO WHICH A LNK IS PROVIDED OR ON WHICH A LINK IS PROVIDED TO THESE DISCUSSION FORUMS, EVEN IF VWWORLD.COM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED.
