General Privacy Statement
PanHistoria, (LLC) provides a unique and sophisticated
consumer Internet community service which enables its members to enjoy
PanHistoria's Online Community functions. The protection of each and every
one of our subscribers' privacy is of the highest priority to us. PanHistoria will always endeavor to maintain the privacy of our subscribers' personal information to the best of our ability. However,
as a practical matter, PanHistoria does log types of data about our subscribers that are necessary for the functionality and operation of the Site and its Features. PanHistoria could not provide a service to the level of quality which our members expect without this information. There are situations where PanHistoria may be required to provide this information to others. PanHistoria has made every effort to put into place strict policy and procedure guidelines that will enable us to safeguard the use of PanHistoria, or any of our authorized partners, and any data collected. This will allow us to provide the most beneficial and enjoyable member experience and maintain our highest standards of customer service. PanHistoria feels that this of primary importance.
Data That is Collected
In the normal course of the operation of PanHistoria,
all of the information provided by our members is collected and stored
by PanHistoria for the express use of the maintenance of that member's account(s). Any name and
address information provided by the member during registration is stored
for identification of the account and for such things as billing, communication, or member authentication. When a user sends and receives messages via our private messaging system, this is logged and stored for their viewing and retrieval. While the nature of PanHistoria's registration and basic operation requires that considerable information be stored for use by the system for the sake of an individual
member, we shall make every attempt to protect such information from any unauthorized
access through the use of encryption technologies, network firewalls, physical
security, and use and access policies.

or otherwise add content to the site to use their own cookies. This Privacy

6. Other Access by PanHistoria
PanHistoria members may complain about being the target of certain unwanted or illegal behavior, or others may complain about being the target of unwanted or illegal behavior coming from another PanHistoria member. When
this occurs, PanHistoria reserves the right to inspect any member information
necessary in order to investigate any and all allegations or complaints received by PanHistoria
and to respond regarding any actions taken to resolve any complaint.
PanHistoria will send an e-mail to any member against whom a complaint
has been received to warn them that certain behavior is not permitted on the
PanHistoria Site. If such behavior persists, PanHistoria may warn the
member that additional complaints may result in the suspension or termination
of any and all accounts; however, PanHistoria reserves the right to suspend or terminate
a user account(s) without notice. PanHistoria will notify a member by e-mail
if, as a result of continued disallowed behavior, their user account has
been terminated. This notice may occur after PanHistoria has already terminated
the account(s).
If PanHistoria becomes aware that illegal activities
are being conducted using a PanHistoria account, PanHistoria reserves the right
to contact the appropriate authorities at its discretion when it appears
that illegal activities are taking place within the context of a user account.
Subscriber Responsibility for Protection and Privacy
1. User Account Protection
PanHistoria members are responsible for the use of their own
accounts. PanHistoria recommends that members use passwords to protect their
accounts from any unauthorized access by others. Specifically, PanHistoria members that allow access by others, including family or household members, to their PanHistoria accounts are responsible for the actions of those individuals, including the invasion of privacy on the user's totally private information.
2. Protection of Children
PanHistoria is a family-friendly service, however, the Internet contains
information that may be offensive to certain PanHistoria users, particularly to
children or to the Parents of those children. In addition, there may individuals seeking to obtain access to
children for various unauthorized purposes. PanHistoria cannot prevent inappropriate
contacts between other Internet users and children. We feel that parents are ultimately responsible for the behavior and well-being of their children, and the use of PanHistoria by their children. Parents should make every effort in order to password protect their own account as well as monitor
the use of their children's' accounts to prevent the inadvertent identification
of that child to others or access of inappropriate Materials by the child.
3. Information provided to other Internet Sites
PanHistoria provides its subscribers with access to a vast array of information
and, thusly, information providers on the Internet. Every content provider
manages its information differently and, as a result, PanHistoria cannot control
and/or monitor the information that is either sent or received via the Internet. Subscribers
should attempt to understand the privacy policies of the web sites to which
they choose to provide information and use their own discretion and common sense. It is up to each member to be careful when visiting the web sites of other providers on the Internet. This is to ensure that their privacy is not being in any way compromised.
4. Disclosures Relating to Abusive Use.
Users that violate the Charter may be subject to investigation
by PanHistoria, warnings, suspension or termination of their service and even civil
or criminal liability through law enforcement.
