PRIVACY
POLICY
Topsites takes your privacy seriously, and has
created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our
firm commitment to online privacy. Please learn
more about our information gathering and dissemination
practices, and our use of personally identifiable
information.
IP
Addresses
We
may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with
our site or web server, and for the general administration of
our website.
Cookies
Upon
your first visit to this web site, a "cookie"
is sent to your computer. A cookie is a tiny file that
identifies you as a unique user. It stores personal preferences
and user data, however, in no way does this tell us who
you are. Topsites has two primary uses for its
cookies.
First,
we use cookies to track special offers and promotions
that may be presented to you as you navigate our website.
This is done so that you are not presented with the same
special offers and/or promotions over and over, or after
you have indicated you are not interested.
Secondly,
we use cookies as part of our authentication system when
you login to your account.
While
both of these activities depend on the use of a "cookie,"
visitors to this site always have the option of disabling
cookies in their web browser. Most browsers are initially
set to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all
cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.

For example, during your visit to our site you may link

Also,
via our site you may be introduced to, or be able to access,

offered by other parties. Topsites is not responsible
for the actions or policies of such third parties. You

third parties when providing information on a feature
or page operated by a third party.
Please
be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information
can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of Topsites
and this policy.
