UnSkewedPolls.com (The QStar Group) respects
your right to the privacy of the personal information you provide us
on our sites. Unless you designate otherwise or we state otherwise in
this policy or at the time information is collected, any personal
information you provide will not be known to any other party except
you and UnSkewedPolls.com. This policy is intended to explain how your
personal information is collected and how it will be treated.
UnSkewedPolls.com is a rapidly growing online news
source. As such, this policy will change from time to time along with
our site.
Traffic Data
Each time a visitor comes to a UnSkewedPolls.com site,
our servers collect some basic technical information, including the
visitor's domain name (e.g., whether the user is logged on to the
internet from aol.com or whitehouse.gov), referral data (e.g., we
record the address of the URL a user visited prior to clicking
through to a UnSkewedPolls.com site) and browser and platform type
(e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).
We also track the visitor's activity into our
analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g., tracking where
traffic comes from, and how traffic flows within the UnSkewedPolls.com
sites, etc.) We may merge information about visitors and visits into
group data, which may be shared on an aggregate basis with our
advertisers.
However, we will not disclose your individual
identity or personally identifiable data to any party.
When we do present aggregated information to outside
companies, no one will be able to identify you or contact you.
UnSkewedPolls.com and cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to
your browser from a server and stored on your computer's hard drive.
We use cookies in a very limited manner, primarily to help deliver
advertisements so that you won't receive the same advertisement too
many times. We may use cookies to identify unique browsers that visit
us and to track site navigation. We also use cookies on our shopping
site to make the ordering process more convenient for visitors.
Cookies are used with our online polls to insure accurate results by
allowing only one vote per computer on the current questions.
Other sites that place advertisements on our site, or
which we may provide a link referencing an article that is available
to view on UnSkewedPolls.com, also have the ability to assign their
cookies to you in a process that UnSkewedPolls.com does not control.
Cookies cannot be used to identify individuals, only
machines. So these advertisers will not know who a visitor is, nor
will they have any personally identifiable information about a
visitor.
UnSkewedPolls.com News Alert feature
After signing up to receive a UnSkewedPolls.com News
Alert by e-mail, users will begin to receive a brief synopsis of
current news events available on the UnSkewedPolls.com site, delivered
on a daily or weekly basis. Additionally users may receive infrequent
other announcements from UnSkewedPolls.com. We collect subscriber's
e-mail addresses in order to distribute the News Alerts and
announcements and do not otherwise share them with other companies or
partners. UnSkewedPolls.com (The QStar Group) respects your
right to the privacy of the personal information you provide us on
our site. Unless you designate otherwise or we state otherwise in
this policy or at the time information is collected, any personal
information you provide will not be known to any other party except
you and UnSkewedPolls.com. This policy is intended to explain how your
personal information is collected and how it will be treated.
Users can choose to unsubscribe from UnSkewedPolls.com
News Alerts at any time by following the unsubscribe procedures found
in each e-mail or by visiting the News Alert sign-up page.
Online Retailing
UnSkewedPolls.com operates an online store, Q Star
Mall. In the course of processing orders, we may collect certain
personal information for the purpose of fulfilling customer orders.
We will save this information as needed to keep responsible records
and handle complaints. We do not share this information with any
telemarketing firms. Your phone number is necessary only for credit
card verification purposes and issues of customer service related to
purchases from Q Star Mall.
To update an e-mail address on the UnSkewedPolls.com
News Alerts list, unsubscribe the old address and resubscribe using
the new address at the News Alert sign-up page.
Promotions
From time to time, UnSkewedPolls.com may sponsor
contests or other events that require the collection, processing and
storage of individual contact and demographic information (e.g., your
age and state of residence) to be used for the event. UnSkewedPolls.com
may also co-sponsor these events along with other companies, in which
case the user's individual contact and demographic information is
likely to be shared with these other participating sponsors. A
registrant's personal contact and demographic information will not be
disclosed to third-party or non-participating organizations without
the user's prior consent, and UnSkewedPolls.com will request that
co-sponsors of such events uphold the privacy of the registrant's
information.
Surveys
UnSkewedPolls.com may from time to time conduct
voluntary surveys of visitors to the site to obtain aggregate
demographic information about them. Such information may be compiled
and shared in the aggregate with advertisers and other third parties,
but no personal details will be traceable or associated with specific
individuals.
E-mail a Friend
If a user elects to use our "E-mail a Friend"
service available on each news story and column, we ask him or her
for the friend's name and e-mail address. UnSkewedPolls.com will
automatically send the friend an e-mail version of the page
requested. UnSkewedPolls.com does not store this information after the
e-mail has been sent.
Other disclosure of personal information
UnSkewedPolls.com will not otherwise use or disclose
your personal information without your consent except (i) as
described in this Privacy Policy, or (ii) as required by law, court
order or as requested by other government or law-enforcement
authority. This policy does not protect information you post to any
online bulletin board, chat room, newsgroup or other public forum
within or outside our sites.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will
post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other
places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with
the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users' personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at
the time of collection, we will notify users via e-mail. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. However, if users have opted out of all
communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account,
then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information
be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material
changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information
already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on
our website notifying users of the change. In some case where we post
a notice we will also e-mail users, who have opted to receive
communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy
practices.
If users have any questions or suggestions regarding
our privacy policy, please contact us at:
