www.rendernation.com :: Privacy Statement

Render Nation is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read the Privacy Statement below for any Render Nation services that you may use.

This Render Nation Privacy Statement applies to data collected by Render Nation through its web site and services, as well as its offline services.

Collection of Your Personal Information
In order to access some Render Nation services, you will be asked to sign in with a username and password, which we refer to as your credentials. As part of creating your credentials, you may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as an alternate email address. Some services may require added security, and in these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security key. Finally, a unique ID number will be assigned to your credentials which will be used to identify your credentials and associated information.

Some Render Nation services may require you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, such as your postal code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a paid subscription service, we will ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address, that is used to create a Render Nation billing account.

We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with Render Nation sites and services. We also collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.

When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from Render Nation, we may use customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other information.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Render Nation, information collected through one Render Nation service may be combined with information obtained through other Render Nation services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.

Use of Your Personal Information
Render Nation collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the web site or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products and services; and displaying content that are customized to your interests and preferences.

We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some Render Nation services may send periodic member letters that are considered part of the service. We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from Render Nation and its affiliates.

Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside of Render Nation without your consent.

We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Render Nation; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Render Nation (including the enforcement of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Render Nation services or members of the public.

Accessing Your Personal Information
You have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In order to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will be required to sign in with your credentials (username and password). The appropriate method(s) for accessing your personal information will depend on which sites or services you have used.

Communication Preferences
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Render Nation sites and services by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive.

These communication choices do not apply to mandatory service communications that are considered part of certain Render Nation services, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel the service.

Security of Your Personal Information
Render Nation is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.

All personal information obtained will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1997.

Use of Cookies
The Render Nation web site may use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of Render Nation sites and services that depend on cookies.

Changes to This Privacy Statement
We will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect changes in our services and customer feedback. When we post changes to this Statement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this statement. If there are material changes to this statement or in how Render Nation will use your personal information, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this statement to be informed of how Render Nation is protecting your information.
