Collection Of Your Personal Information

Silicon Avenue collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Silicon Avenue also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Silicon Avenue public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Silicon Avenue does not read any of your private online communications.

Silicon Avenue encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Silicon Avenue so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Silicon Avenue is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Silicon Avenue and Silicon Avenue family of Web sites.

Use Of Cookies

The Silicon Avenue Web site use "cookies" to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise Silicon Avenue pages, or register with Silicon Avenue site or services, a cookie helps Silicon Avenue to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Silicon Avenue Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Silicon Avenue features that you customised.

Security Of Your Personal Information

Silicon Avenue secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Silicon Avenue secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes To This Statement 

Silicon Avenue will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Silicon Avenue encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Silicon Avenue is protecting your information.
