Strayform Privacy Policy

This Privacy Notice is incorporated into and
is subject to the Terms of Use.
Strayform and
Privacy
Strayform seeks to strike a balance between community
interaction and personal privacy. That is why
we give users alot of control over what information
to share and who can see that information.
The best way to protect your privacy is using our privacy
options (the options tab on your member page) and wisely
choosing what information to share.
Additionally, in order to provide rankings and recommendations
Strayform collects statistics based on user actions
within our system. We do not share any information
aggregated or not with external companies for marketing
or advertising purposes. In fact, we do not have any
advertising at all.
Strayform recognizes that its customers, visitors,
and members value their privacy. To enrich our members'
experience, we request and display some personal information
to other members and visitors to facilitate communication
and better working of our site. Members can change their
profile information at any time and can control how
other members and the service communicates with them.
Strayform is not intended for, does not collect information
about, and does not allow the registration of minors

You provide certain personally identifiable information
when choosing to participate in various activities on
the Strayform Exchange, such as creating a Member or
Artist page for public viewing. Processes such as downloading
and uploading media, viewing pages, and posting messages
in our discussions can create statistics and information
both personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable.
You can decline to have personally identifiable statistics
displayed to other users.
Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily post
public information to discussions that this information
can be accessed by the public and can in turn be used
by those people to send you unsolicited communications.
Strayform members can invite friends to join the service
and recommend media and pages by sending email via our
automated system. Strayform does not sell these email
addresses or use them to send any other communication
besides the requested invitation or recommendation.
Recipients of invitations or recommendations from members
of Strayform may contact Strayform to request the removal
of their information from our database.
Please note that any audio, video, image, or other
content submitted becomes published content and is not
considered personally identifiable information subject
to this Privacy Notice.
Strayform may send one or more cookies - a small file
containing a string of characters - to your computer
that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies
to improve the quality of our service by storing user
preferences and tracking user trends. Most browsers
are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can
reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate
when a cookie is being sent. However, some features
and services may not function properly if your cookies

the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date

Member profile information including members' pictures
is displayed to people in order to facilitate user interaction
in the social networking community. Personally identifiable

non-personally-identifiable information to our subsidiaries,
affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons
for the purpose of processing such information on our
behalf. We require that these parties agree to process
such information in compliance with our privacy policy,
and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of
such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality
and security measures.
We may release personally identifiable information
and/or non-personally-identifiable information if the
good-faith belief that such action is appropriate or
necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions
against liability, to investigate and defend itself
against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist
government enforcement agencies, to protect the security
or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights,
property, or personal safety of members or others, to
comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright

Data Security
Strayform uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial,
and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and
security of your personal information. We cannot, however,

Once we receive your transmission of information, Strayform
makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the
security of our systems. However, please note that this
is not a guarantee that such information may not be
accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach
of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If Strayform learns of a security systems breach, then
we may attempt to notify you electronically so that
you can take appropriate protective steps.
Strayform contains links to other sites. Many links
are submitted by Members of Strayform and not by Strayform
itself. Strayform is not responsible for the privacy
policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking

Privacy Notice, and our Terms of Use, you are transferring
your personal information to the United States and you

our service. In the event that Strayform is acquired
by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the
right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or
assign the information we have collected from our Users
as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other
change of control. If we decide to materially change
our privacy policy, we will prominently post those changes
on this page prior to the change and provide you an
