We do not link IP addresses to your personally identifiable information. We can and will use IP addresses, however, to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Use Of Cookies

STLRacing.com never saves passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies has become a standard in the industry, especially at Web sites that provide any kind of personalized service.

The use of cookies by advertisers is standard in the Internet industry.
WHO IS COLLECTING THIS INFORMATION
STLRacing.com collects this information via our web site. In the case of co-branded sites, various third parties may collect such information. You should review the applicable privacy policies of these third parties before providing personally identifiable information. STLRacing.com is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
While you are using STLRacing.com, you may be linked or directed to other third party sites outside STLRacing.com that are beyond STLRacing.com’s control. For example, you might click on a link or banner ad that will take you off STLRacing.com’s site. Each of these third parties may have a privacy policy different from that of STLRacing.com. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. You should review the applicable privacy policies of these third party sites before providing personally identifiable information. These links and banners may take you to sites of advertisers, sponsors and co-branding partners. Please review the privacy policies of these sites. STLRacing.com is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
HOW COLLECTED INFORMATION IS USED
STLRacing.com uses registration information to learn more about how visitors use the site and to measure areas of interest. This allows STLRacing.com to build features and functionality that will enhance your STLRacing.com experience. We also use the registration process to filter out those who post to STLRacing.com’s Forums but do not comply with our User Agreement. Information collected for classified ad placement and auctions is used for business purposes to assist in the placement of ads and to ensure the integrity of the auction process. If you so choose when you register, registration information might also be used to send you e-mails about new features and services on STLRacing.com, or to send you e-mails from selected third party product or service providers. We might also use this information to respond to e-mails, provide customer support, enforce our User Agreement or other similar matters.
Aggregate information is also used to help us run and maintain our site, study traffic patterns and generally learn about the usage of our site. Some of this aggregate information may be used to help us set advertising rates, determine advertising fees, and attract advertisers and co-branding partners.
WITH WHOM THE INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED
Except for the following exceptions, we will not knowingly authorize the disclosure of your personal identifiable information (other than aggregate statistical information) to third parties without your consent. First, we may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may have breached our User Agreement or who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) STLRacing.com’s rights or property, other STLRacing.com users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Second, we may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
It is important to know that you may inadvertently provide personally identifiable information to third parties through your postings to a forum or participation in a chat session. For example, while we do not make your real name available in forums, your user name is visible and may reveal information about yourself. We encourage you to give some thought to the privacy implications of your choice of a user name.
CHOICES YOU CAN MAKE ABOUT COLLECTION, USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION
At the time of registration, you are given a choice whether you want to receive information from STLRacing.com or from third parties. Your first choice is whether you want to receive e-mails about new features, events and special coverage on the site.

Unless you affirmatively choose to receive these e-mails, you will not receive information of this kind.
Forum Postings: Because you can place as much or as little personal information as you want in a forum posting, we want to remind you that STLRacing.com users may read postings in forums and we have no way to limit their use of personally identifiable information you may provide. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online (for example, in forums, message boards or chat sessions) that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While we strive to protect our user's personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you voluntarily disclose online and you do so at your own risk.
