Policy and Disclosure Page

At MAOS, we want you to enjoy and benefit from myactsofsedition.com (the “Site”) secure in the knowledge that we have taken steps to implement fair information practices designed to protect your privacy. The following explains what information we collect about you, how we use it, and the choices you have.

What We Learn

The Site automatically recognize your domain name, IP address, browser version, operating system and the site you passed through to reach us. In addition, our Site automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Site and their areas, very much like television ratings that tell how many people tuned in to a program. If you choose to give us your name, e-mail address, postal address, phone number, organization, or any other identifying information, it will be used only to provide you with products or services you have requested or additional information about the Site or their affiliates. Information gathered through the use of cookies is not related to any personally identifiable details.

How We Use What We Learn

The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Site and to help develop new products. Also, we compile and use this information so that we may keep you apprised of special offers and new products that may be of interest to you.

We may use a user’s personally identifiable information for editorial purposes, such as to contact you as part of an online survey. Additionally, we may use the information provided by you to: 1) contact you in order to comply with any legal requirements, 2) advise you of any material changes or additions to our service, 3) advise you of account status and 4) inform you of additional products and services, special and exclusive offers.

What We Tell Others About You

We will not sell or rent or willfully disclose any personally identifying information obtained through the Site to an outside party, its divisions, its vendors providing Internet hosting services or third party list managers, without first receiving the user’s permission. We do not collect personally identifying information from our visitors, other than what is supplied to us on a voluntary basis. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by letting us know by e-mailing, calling or writing us (see addresses below).

What Are Cookies And How Do We Use Them?

The Site place a “cookie” on the browser of a user’s computer to gather and store basic tracking information and to monitor the presentation of advertisements. We may also use the information for editorial purposes and for other purposes such as measuring certain traffic patterns. For example, cookies are used to ensure that you don’t see the same ad too many times in a single session. Cookies are not related to any personally identifiable information and are not used to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie.

Advertisers and Links

The Site contain links to other Site, including those produced by other organizations. Additionally, our advertisers, or Web Site that have links on our Site, may also collect personally identifiable information directly from you. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or contents of our advertisers, sponsors or other Site or businesses to which we provide hyperlinks or access. Please visit the Site of these businesses to review their privacy policies.

Kids

Do your homework. Especially the arithmetic. And go somewhere else, you little fuckers.

Data Security

We have in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the internet.

Disclaimer

This Privacy Policy may be changed at any time at our discretion.

Any Questions?

For more information on our Privacy Policy, or if at any time you wish to discontinue receiving communications from us that do not directly pertain to your subscription, please let us know by emailing us or writing to us at the address listed below.

Disclosure Policy

Beginning December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to provide disclosures whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.

This is a sponsored blog. For questions about this blog, please contact chaz at myactsofsedition dot com.

This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, coupons, free drinks, lobster, hookers and/or other forms of compensation.

The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content.

The owner(s) of this blog is sometimes compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the bloggers’ own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

This blog does contain content which might present a conflict of interest.

It’s called capitalism bitches.

So, the less obvious: Per the FTC rules, if I interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to specify this. Ditto if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo and I wear it in a photo, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place.

This would be tedious for me and a continual eye sore for readers. But rules is rules.

To cover my ass and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every recommendation, link, and product I use, the following all hold true:
