Privacy Policy
Mars Lander News has created this policy to demonstrate
our firm commitment to the privacy of our customers and visitors. The
following statements are intended to help you understand the
information gathering and dissemination practices for the Mars
Lander News website, including all information at MarsLander.com
and other addresses if any are added.
This policy is intended to be valid until 1/1/2005. If
there are no changes to it by that time it will automatically
renew for another year. All changes to this policy will be announced
on the front page as well as other areas as appropriate.
Note that in some cases the policy is written to cover areas
of the website that may not be live when you are reading this,
due to that feature either having been discontinued or not yet
added. In such a case the guarantees in this policy are still
valid and will automatically be active if or when such areas
or features go live on this site.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this privacy
policy, we encourage you to contact us via e-mail at dan@norder.com.
Information Automatically
Logged:
Basic information is logged with all visits to our web sites.
This information includes IP addresses, browser and version,
operating system, referrers, and search strings (if entered).
We use this information to help diagnose problems with our server
and to administer our web site. This information is collected
for the express purpose of ensuring that our visitors has an
enjoyable, educational and productive experience, and so that
we may expand upon our services in a manner that will be beneficial
to both MarsLander.com and you.
The specifics of this data are used by MarsLander.com
and its agents, and are not shared with third parties. Summary
data (such as total number of visits from all users, total number
of pages viewed) may be shared with potential advertisers on
an aggregate basis. NO individual data is shared.
Use of Cookies:
Our site uses cookies to deliver content specific to your
interests. These cookies "remember" such information
as zip code, city, username, and other form input, for the purpose
of having that information automatically available to you on
your next visit. We also use cookies to allow our server to maintain
information regarding referrals to MarsLander.com.
Cookie information is stored on your computer, and thus is
not visible to other users under normal circumstances.
All cookies are intended to be non-identifying in nature; this
means that there is no reasonable way for the site to identify
the individual person that cookie data was collected from.
Registration Information:
Our site's registration form (should one be added -- this
feature is not active yet) requires users to give us unique identifiers
(for example, a username, e-mail address). Unique identifiers
are used to verify the user's identity and help remember their
preferences. Registration may be required for the use of
some features at MarsLander.com.
Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site.
We use this data to tailor our visitor's experience at our site
to show content that we think they might be interested in and
display the content according to their preferences.
No individual data gathered at registration is shared with
any third party. Aggregate statistics (such as our total
number of registered users, what percentage of our users are
active, etc) may be shared with potential partners and advertisers.
Occasionally e-mail might be sent to the registered
e-mail address of our users (once registration is available),
unless specified otherwise. These e-mails may contain important
site updates, notification of new features, questions or comments
on the usage of MarsLander.com, or special promotions
and offers. Any customer may choose to "opt-out"
of our mailings at any time; the setting is adjustable in our
User Control Panel.
Public Forums:
This site may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or
news groups available to its users. Please remember that any
information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information
and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your
personal information. For your reference, our Forum Guidelines
are always available online within the forums themselves when
they are running, and we will announce when changes have been
made to these guidelines.
Security:
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss,
misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
MarsLander.com cannot, however, be responsible for the
effects that a possible, though unlikely, breach of this security
would have.

Special Relationships and

for the privacy practices of such websites. We will provide
