This site is owned and operated by CutThroat CueSports™ (CTC), a division of CutThroat Creations, LLC. CTC is committed to respecting your privacy. As a visitor to our website, we only want to contact you if you wish to be contacted by us. With that in mind, we offer you the following details of how we gather, use, share and protect the information collected at this website. What kinds of information does CTC collect? Our website can collect information about you in a number of ways. One way we do this is by directly requesting information from you (as on a contest entry form, as part of a product registration page, in response to a survey or on similar web pages where you are able to enter information into data fields and then send this information back to CTC). You may be given the opportunity to voluntarily provide us with your name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, and similar information about you as an individual. We may also ask you questions about your game, your buying preferences or your lifestyle. We refer to all of this information as your "Personal Information." Another way we collect information is by automatically recording information about your visit to our website. For example, we might collect data regarding your activity while on our websites or record the web pages that you have chosen to visit. This is a common practice for many websites on the Internet. The information collected does not personally identify you, but may be helpful to us for marketing purposes or improving the services we offer. We refer to this type of information as "General Data." For example, we automatically log visitors' domain and IP addresses (a unique string of numbers that identifies a computer on the Internet). At times, this General Data may be combined with the Personal Information that you have provided. As described below, we also use cookies to enable the website to personalize your future visits and to help you navigate. CTC intends to give you as much control as possible over your Personal Information. In general, you can visit CTC on the Internet without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need your Personal Information in order to respond to or process your requests or to allow you to participate in online promotions. It is our intent to let you know before we collect information from you on the Internet. If you choose to give CTC personal Information via the Internet, it is also our intent to let you know how we will use such information. If you tell us that you do not wish to have this Personal Information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes. Why does CTC collect this information and how is it used? We need this information to help us improve our services to you; we want to make it easier to tailor our products and services to your particular needs. We also want you to have the most enjoyable Internet experience possible. With that in mind, CTC collects Personal Information and General Data in order to:

If you decide that you no longer wish to receive these e-mails, you will be given several ways to opt-out. If you provide us with your mailing address, telephone number or facsimile number, and tell us that we may contact you, we may also get in touch with you by one of these methods. Does CTC share this information with anyone? At CTC, we take our commitment to respecting your privacy seriously. The personal information that you decide to share with us will be kept confidential and will not be shared with other parties than CTC. Does CTC offer links to other websites? We also may offer links to websites that are not operated by CTC. If you visit one of these linked sites, you should review their privacy and other policies. We are not responsible for the policies and practices of other companies. How can I stop receiving communications from CTC? If you wish to stop receiving communications from us or would like us to cease processing your information in any other way, you can write to us at: Customer Service, CutThroat CueSports, PO Box 7392, Appleton, WI 54912. You can also let us know by calling 1-866-375-5404 Toll Free or e-mail info@ctcpool.com. We will also provide you with a return e-mail opt-out address in each e-mail that we send to you so that you may opt out of receiving future e-mail communications. This return opt-out address will be operational for at least 30 days following the date the e-mail was originally sent to you. What happens when changes are made to this Privacy Policy? From time to time, it may be necessary for CTC to change this privacy policy. We suggest that you check here periodically. Such modifications will automatically be effective after they are initially posted on the website. You can be assured, however, that any changes will not be retroactively applied and will not alter how we handle previously collected information Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches) We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. CTC gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration. "E-mail this to a friend" policy Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose. Surveys CTC may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party. Polling We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. CTC may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users. Children Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent. |
