Privacy

Below are some general questions that you may have about the site.

1. Can people find my Profile page by searching Google or other major search engines?

Answer: It depends. Your Profile page is fully indexable by major search engines, but you each have the ability to permit viewing of your Profile only to fellow registered Classmates. If Profile information has been restricted to only fellow Classmates (put a check mark in the Profile Visibility box toward the bottom of your Profile page), then search engines can not get into this information and index it, nor can any non registered Classmate get in. Please note that your public profile is found in the search engines when no restrictions have been set by you. This is the same information that anybody can see simply by visiting your web site unless you have restricted Profile viewing to only fellow Classmates. Your private information is not findable and will never be displayed even if your Profile is left open to the public. Specifically, your email addresses, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers are completely protected and not visible to the public, and not findable/indexable by search engines no matter what. Please note that anyone can still send an email to you by filling out the contact form at the bottom of any Classmate Profile page. This allows open communication between Classmates and non Classmates alike, while protecting Classmates' personal information.

2. Will you display advertising on my site?

Answer: Unlike other systems, the idea behind Class Creator is to keep sites clean, professional, and uncluttered. We do not inject any advertising of any kind into class web sites. It is strictly against our policy. If you are seeing a popup ad, the ad has nothing to do with the Class Creator system. Most likely you have inadvertently installed some type of "spyware" that is launching these ads while browsing your class web site. If you need help solving issues like this, there are many tools online such as PC Pitstop that will scan your computer free and reveal if there are any problems plaguing the system. You can have full assurance that Class Creator does not, and will not in the future place any advertising or pop up ads on your web site.

3. Will you send unsolicited emails to me?

Answer: Only in these two circumstances: 1) A reminder to update profile will be sent to you if your profile has not been updated in more than 6 months, and 2) A New Year's Day reminder is sent to you suggesting that the start of the new year is a good time to update your profile. Other than these two reminder emails, the only person we will ever email is, the Site Administrator. We will never send you spam email or solicitations of any kind that do not pertain to Class Creator.

4. Do you rent, sell, or in any way profit from having my name and personal information?

Answer: No. We do not engage in renting or selling your information, or any form of solicitation regarding you whatsoever. You can have the utmost confidence that your information is held strictly confidential.

5. Do I have to pay anything to use the site?

Answer: No. Charging you a fee to use your site is the best way to ensure the failure of your site. It's that simple.

Effective Date: November 1, 2007

The following Privacy Policy governs the online data collection practices of Class Creator. Specifically, it describes the types of information that we collect about you while you are using the Class Creator web site, and the methods in which we use this information.

As the web is a continually evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some time in the future. If we do we make changes we will update the "Effective Date" above to reflect the date of the changes. Your continued usage of the Class Creator system after we post any such changes will be considered as acceptance and agreement to the updated Privacy Policy terms.

What Information is Collected About Visitors?

The data that we collect about you while you are using the site falls into two basic categories:

1. Information You Provide to Us.

We may collect and store data that you voluntarily supply while using the Class Creator system. Some examples of this type of information include demographic information that you electronically submit when you sign up, information (such as your name or email address), information that you post on message boards on the site, and information contained in emails or questions that you submit to the Site. Should you decline to provide us with certain information while using the site it is possible you may not be able to use some or all of the features of the Class Creator system.

2. Information Automatically Collected.

We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the Class Creator system. For example, we use a standard feature of browser software called "cookies." Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Class Creator system, cookies help us track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter information on some areas of the site, such as login and password information to access the system. Another example of information we might automatically collect as you use the Class Creator system is information about your computer’s connection to the Internet. This information allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the site.

How is this Information Used?

Class Creator respects your right to privacy. Class Creator collects information only for the purpose of creating your class web site and answering your questions. We may also use the information we collect from you while you are using the Class Creator system for other internal purposes, including using the information to customize features that appear on class web sites. We will not use personal information that we collect online from you while you are using the Class Creator system, nor will we use any information provided by classmates, to mail or email promotional offers (AKA spam). Your personal information and the personal information entered by your classmates will never be shared with other companies or organizations electronically or otherwise — period.

Please also keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by third parties online – for example on message boards, In Memory forums, through email or web logs, etc. – that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides us. Class Creator cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third party use of such information.

Be aware that although we have not done so to date, we may release information about site visitors when release is appropriate to comply with an order of the law, or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Class Creator system.

Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. Although not in our plans, in the unlikely event that we sell some or all of our assets, or our site is acquired by another company, information about our visitors may be among the transferred assets.

How To Make Changes to Your Information

Administrators and classmates alike can log into the system and update your personal information at any time.
