The following sets forth Readyforce.net, Inc. information gathering and dissemination practices.

We are committed to your privacy and recognize that as a visitor or member, you are our most important asset. We will attempt to protect interests of the participant of our community.

We do collect certain confidential information when you sign up for our newsletter, enter contests or promotional events, become a forum member, order from our e-store, or participate in other activities. This may include contact information, such as your email address, name, telephone number, address and zip code. We also may ask users voluntarily to give us certain other information (such as martial arts practiced, length of practice, style or organization, rank and/or education level) in order to tailor information, articles and services on the site to its users. We may use contact information to contact the visitor when necessary, or, when given permission, to send the user information, promotions or other material from Readyforce.net or its affiliates. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings.

Any general information collected from children under age 15 is used only for statistical analysis, editorial participation, feedback and e-mail Newsletter list purposes. Readyforce.net does not give children's personal information to third parties, regardless of whether children choose to allow us to disseminate their personal information for promotional opportunities. This also includes information obtained from special contests and/or promotional opportunities on our site. Where children are allowed to participate in a contest, our rules may require that they provide their parent or guardian's e-mail address so that, if the child wins, we can notify the parent or guardian. This policy only applies, of course, for users who advise us that they are under age 15.

Demographic and interests profile data is used to tailor the visitors' experience at our site -- to show them content that we think they might be interested in, or to display the content according to their preferences. This information may be shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis. Specific visitor information, however, is not made available to advertisers.

User Internet Provider (IP) information may be used to help diagnose problems with our server and/or to administer our site. Additionally your IP address is used to help develop broad statistical demographic and other information that is used internally and may be shared with advertisers and other business partners.

This information helps us better correlate you wants and needs with the content and services we provide for you.

Third party advertisements displayed on our site may also contain cookies that are collected by the third party advertisers, their ad agency, other third parties or their representatives, and we do not have access to this information.
