SAAB9000.com Privacy Policy

Briefly, this website assumes that anything you do on this website that is not explicitly public (e.g. adding a gallery entry) is private and should stay private. Your information is not stolen, or sold on, and nothing else is done with it that we don't think any reasonable person would want done with it.

However, everyone leaves a trace behind them as they use the internet. This page describes what your trace is on this site, who knows about it, how to avoid leaving that trace, and even how to request to have it removed.

Log files

Like most website servers we use log files. These files record IP address, high level operating system and browser details, and if you followed a link to this website then where that link was. The data is used to record website traffic and occasionally to help diagnose problems reported by visitors.

There is no mechanism to remove the trace of your visits from the log files, partly because it's impossible to tell which logs are from you and which are from someone else with the same internet service provider.

Cookies

The forum does not currently use cookies, except as described below under "Google advertising". If you do not wish to accept cookies you can set up your browser to disable cookies.

Google advertising

We sell a little space on some pages to Google who fill it with their adverts. The adverts come from their server so when you view a page on this website containing their adverts you are effectively looking at one page on this website and one page on their website at the same time.

Their contribution is covered by their privacy policy. They can collect much the same information as this site can collect (see the log files and cookies sections above), and might add that to information they collect from other sites - generally they'll use the information to target advertising at you.

It is possible to refuse cookies from Google and their advertising partners. It won't affect this site but might possibly reduce the functionality of their adverts.

The Gallery

The email address you submit when you add a gallery entry is not visible to other members and is not disclosed to any third parties. The administrator of the site may contact you through this e-mail address to verify that you are genuine (to avoid spam on the gallery) and for any other purpose necessary to ensure the smooth running of the site.

Any other information you include as part of the gallery submission is likely to be made public (that is, after all, the point of the gallery).

You may request that we remove any personal information in the gallery by sending a message to the administrator of the site.

Links to other sites

The website contains links to other websites. We can't vouch for these third party websites.

You can avoid these other websites by not clicking on these links.
