PRIVACY POLICY

1. Our Policy.

The Weighting Room respects and understands our website users concerns about confidentiality and privacy, and we take reasonable steps to ensure that any information you give us is handled in a safe and responsible manner. Because of our respect and understanding of your privacy, we have developed this policy, which discloses the privacy practices of The Weighting Room and describes the information we collect about you during your use of our site and what use we may make of that information.

It is important to remember that by using our site, you agree to the terms of this policy. Because the technology in this area is improving at such a rapid pace, we suggest that you refer to this policy on a regular basis as it may change, at any time in The Weighting Room's sole discretion, in order to allow us to take advantage of any technological advances or for business purposes or legal reasons.

2. Children Under 13.

We care about the safety of children. We won't knowingly allow anyone under 13 to provide us any personally identifying information. Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We encourage you to become involved in your children's online experience, and to share your interest in our sites with your young ones.

3. Information That We May Collect.

We internally use personally identifiable information to improve our services, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content, to customize our site's content and layout, and for other customer service purposes. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet the needs of our users.

In the course of using our site, we automatically track certain information about you. This information includes the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you go to next (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Many sites automatically collect this information. We do not collect or use this information to create a profile about you. We may decide to use cookies on certain pages of our site. Cookies can help us provide information which is targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session.

4. Our Disclosure of Your Information.

We do not sell, lend, or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party outside of The Weighting Room. We only disclose information to third parties when it is reasonably necessary to allow us to perform services for, or deliver products or information to, you.

We cooperate with all law enforcement inquiries and with all third parties to enforce the rights of others and all laws or regulations. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials, including any government officials, as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

Unfortunately, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), third parties may unlawfully intercept or access files, transmissions, or private communications. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private.

5. Rules for Submissions and Messages.

Responsibility for what is posted in the discussion groups or other public forums lies with each user--you alone are responsible for the content of your messages, and the consequences of any such messages. We cannot and do not review every submission a user may make. We neither endorse nor guarantee the accuracy or propriety of any submission. We do, however, reserve the right but do not assume the obligation to restrict or prohibit your use of our sites if we believe you are violating any of the terms of the agreement and to remove, edit, or relocate any submission as we see fit whether for legal or other reasons.

7. Third Party Collectors of Information.

Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.

These third parties adhere to their own privacy customs and policies. Because we do not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of that third party. We do not make any representations or warranties as to how such third parties may use your information.
