PRIVACY POLICY
INTRODUCTION
Youth Culture Group Inc. ("Desperadomag.com") collects personally identifying information about you only when you specifically and knowingly provide it to us. We are dedicated to providing you with a compelling service to help you make the most of your time on the Internet. The more we know about you, the better we can serve your needs.
We recognize that we need to earn your trust, and firmly believe that you should know exactly what personally identifying information we collect and how we're going to use it before you share it with us.
BASIC STATEMENT
WHAT IS "PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION"?
"Personally identifying information" is information that can be explicitly used to identify and/or contact you as an individual. This includes information like your real name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, etc. Information that, by itself, cannot be explicitly linked with your "real" identity is not considered personally identifying.
USE OF COOKIES
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and many major Web sites use them to provide great features for their customers. Desperadomag.com has one primary use for its cookies: we use cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of Desperadomag.com that our users find valuable. While these activities depend on the use of a "cookie," visitors to Desperadomag.com always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of Desperadomag.com may not function properly if you refuse cookies.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Users should be aware that when you are on Desperadomag.com, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from our pages that take you outside Desperadomag.com . For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement the "click" takes you off Desperadomag.com. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use the Desperadomag.com logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. Always be aware of where you end up! Desperadomag.com's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond our control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
