Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding
how we collect and use the personal information you provide
to us and to assist you in making informed decisions
when using our site and our products and services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with
two types of information: personal information you knowingly
choose to disclose that is collected on an individual
basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate
basis as you and others browse our Web site.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Registration
Information
You will provide us information about yourself, your
firm or company, and your practices when you register
to be a member of Unitedbikers.com, register for certain
services, or register for email newsletters and alerts.
You may also provide additional comments on how you see
UnitedBikers.com servicing your needs and interests.
Email
Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we
may retain the content of your email messages together
with your email address and our responses.
Web Site Use Information
Similar to
other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a
standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and
Web server logs to collect information about how our
Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies
and Web server logs may include the date and time of
visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site,
and the Web sites visited just before and just after
our Web site. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies
may also use small pieces of code called “web beacons” or “clear
gifs” to determine which advertisements and promotions
users have seen and how users responded to them.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes
of administering and expanding our business activities,
providing customer service and making available other
products and services to our customers and prospective
customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to notify you about important changes to our
Web site, new services and special offers we think you
will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if
you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us
at customerservice@unitedbikers.com.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often
includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit
a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for
permission to store this file in a part of your hard
drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site
can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your
browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies
it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you
by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you shop on our Web site, the site uses its cookies
to differentiate you from other shoppers so your shopping
cart is only available to you. In some cases, we also
use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements
or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for
security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's
log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number
of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the
site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback
in order to constantly improve our Web site and better
serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather
any personal information about you and we do not generally
store any personal information that you provided to us
in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We work hard to protect the personal information you
share. We do not divulge usernames, passwords, or email
addresses to third parties unless the law requires us
to do so. Any information that you choose to publish
regarding yourself in the public areas of our site (e.g.
the forum), are your responsibility.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site,
new services and special offers we think you will find
valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity
to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers
by sending us an email request at customerservice@unitedbikers.com.
