PRIVACY POLICY & RULES OF USAGE

And Other Lawyer Love Poetry

 

By using this Más Kapital website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.  Really.  And agreeing to be bound is not always a bad thing.  We reserve the right to update or change these Terms and Conditions at any time for any reason.  Hey, it is OUR magazine.  And by continuing to use this website, you agree to be bound by any such revisions, and should periodically visit and print the latest version of the Terms and Conditions for your records. Printing terms and conditions does not sound like a lot of fun, but if you're the kind who gets off on legal things and is completely obsessed with privacy issues, be our guest.

 

1.  PRIVACY

 

We respect your privacy.  Always have, always will, because that's the kind of privacy-loving people we are.  When you use the Más Kapital website, you consent to Más kapital using your personal information in the manner specified in these Terms and Conditions.  Más Kapital cannot and does not assume any responsibility or liability for the nature or ownership of any information you submit, or for your or third parties' use or misuse of information transmitted or received using this website. and is that a fine piece of writing or what? what do they teach in those law schools?

 

Contact and Questions:  You may submit questions, comments, or concerns to us on the Más Kapital website.  We'd love to hear from you; it makes us feel so less alone.  You may also request further information from us.  We will ask for your name, e-mail address, and your comment or question.  Any information that Más Kapital receives in this manner will not be shared with third parties.  Ever.  We will only use the information to respond to your inquiry or send you further information as you requested, and we may share it internally to improve our service to you. after all,  Service is our middle name (actually, it's "John," but "Service" would be so much cooler and corporate sounding).

 

Security:  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure.  It's a big scary world out there beyond our control.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Más Kapital cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.  Más Kapital will not be liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.  However, once we receive your transmission, we will make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

 

Use of IP Addresses:  An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web.  Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address.  When visitors request pages from Más Kapital, our servers log their IP addresses.  We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to us.  Más Kapital collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our site.  We also use IP addresses to collect statistical information to send to our advertisers and for other marketing and promotional purposes.

 

Cookies:  Más Kapital does not use cookies to collect information.  They're much better to eat with a nice cold glass of nonfat milk.

 

Other Information Collectors:  Except as otherwise expressed in these Terms and Conditions, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.  should you disclose your information to other parties, such as outside links to other sites, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of that information.  The third-party advertisers on our website adhere to their own privacy customs and policies, and since Más Kapital does not control them, you are subject to their privacy customs and policies.  We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.  but you're on your own, because all this talk of parties makes us want to get out of the office.

 

2.  MODIFICATIONS & Monitoring

 

We may discontinue, add to, modify, upgrade, or replace all aspects of the website at our sole discretion and without notice.  In particular, we reserve the right to modify, supplement, delete, discontinue, or remove any software, file, publications, information, communication, or other content appearing on or transmitted through the website.  Más Kapital has no obligation to monitor the services offered on this website or any use thereof or to retain the content of any user session.  However, Más Kapital reserves the right at all times to monitor, review, retain, and/or disclose any information necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to cooperate with law enforcement and other authorities in investigating a claim of illegal activity.  bad guys suck, and we will help the authorities when requested. Más Kapital may use IP addresses to identify a user to enforce compliance with our Terms and Conditions or to protect our service, site, customers, or others.
