The Computer Fix - [ Legal Info ]

The Computer Fix respects the privacy of its Web site visitors and members. We will protect that privacy as vigorously as possible.
The Computer Fix does not collect information that personally identifies individuals except when individuals provide such specific information on a voluntary basis. There may be occasions where specific personal information is requested before an individual can enter certain sections of The Computer Fix site. For example, registration may be required to participate in an online forum or contest. This kind of registration helps us to ensure that content standards on these sections of the site are rigorously upheld or that contact can be made with prize winners. Information requested in order to acknowledge contest winners online or to acknowledge individuals engaged in partnerships with The Computer Fix would be a similar example.
In all such cases, The Computer Fix will collect only information that is voluntarily provided by the user and undertakes that such information will be kept strictly confidential. Individual information provided to The Computer Fix to gain access to any feature of our site will not be sold or made available to a third party.
The Computer Fix does reserve the right, however, to perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics, in order to measure interest in and use of various sections of our site, so as to improve design and navigation and to gather marketing information. Only aggregated data from these analyses, not individual data, will be used for this purpose.
As well, users should be aware that certain non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by The Computer Fix through the operation of what are called 'cookies'. Cookies are small text files that identify an individual computer's browser entering a Web site. They allow the site to track that browser's movement through the site over several sessions. Through cookies, a Web site can recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behaviour that will allow content improvements. The Computer Fix uses cookies only for the above-mentioned purposes and will not use them to identify users or to track non-informational usage.
If you do not want a cookie placed on your computer by The Computer Fix, you may disable cookies altogether by modifying the settings of your browser. Note that it is possible that some aspects of the website may be unavailable to you if you choose this option.
