Your privacy is

Privacy Policy and
Agreement ("Privacy
Policy") will tell
you what information
we collect about you
and about your use
of our website. It
will explain how we
protect that
information and what
choices you have
about how it is
used. We urge you to
read this Privacy
Policy carefully so
you will clearly
understand both our
commitment to you
and your privacy,
and how we may
collect and use
information. By

of this Privacy
Policy. Further

A. Information
Collected by Quilt
Block Dash or on
Quilt Block Dash's
Behalf
1. In General
Personally
Identifiable
Information (PII or
Personal
Information) is
information that can
be used to identify
or contact you. When
you visit our
website, Quilt Block
Dash collects only
the Personal
Information you
provide to us. We
collect Personal
Information you
provide to us in two
general and distinct
ways: (1) when you
choose to
participate in a
Quilt Block Dash and
(2) when you send
emails to Quilt
Block Dash. We also
collect non-personal
information from you
and about your use
of our website,
emails, special
promotions and
newsletters we send
to you, and websites
of selected sponsors
and advertisers.
2. Registration and
Member Profile
You may view our
website without
registering or
submitting any
Personal
Information. In that
case, the only
information we
collect will be
non-personal
information. We use
the Personal
Information you
provide through
registration and
focus group
participation to
respond to questions
from you and/or
inform you of
significant changes
to this Privacy
Policy. We may also
use this information
to send you email
with special
promotions or emails
with content we
think may be of
interest to you. At
any time you can opt
out of receiving
such emails or
unsubscribe to
emails at the time
you register.
3. Cookies
The use of cookies
is common in the
Internet industry.
You will find them
used on our web site
as well as other
major web sites.
"Cookies" are small
text files written
to your computer.
They help us know
which pages on our
site are popular,
which are less so,
and what
technologies and
Internet services
our visitors are
using. Knowing this
information helps us
continually improve
the online
experience for our
visitors and
clients. The
non-personally
identifying
information we track
with cookies is
anonymous and is not
used to identify or
lead us back to, any
particular visitor.
Visitors to our site
may have the option
of disabling cookies
via their browser
preferences (most
browsers are
initially set up to
accept cookies.)
However, some
features of our web
site might not
function properly or
may be considerably
slower if you
disable cookies.
4. Emails to Quilt
Block Dash
This Privacy Policy
does not protect you
when you send
business
information, ideas,
concepts or
inventions to Quilt
Block Dash by email
or via the form on
the Quilt Block Dash
contact page of this
website. If you
want to keep
business
information, ideas,
concepts or
inventions private
or proprietary, do
not send them in an
email to Quilt Block
Dash. We try to
answer every e-mail
in a timely manner,
but are not always
able to do so.
Privacy as it
applies to the
Internet is a
dynamic, rapidly
developing area. In
the future, we may
make significant
changes to our
privacy policy
affecting the use of
the Personal
Information we
collect. We will
notify you by e-mail
of any significant
changes concerning
our use of your
Personal Information
and obtain your
"opt-in" consent to
any significant new
uses of your
Personal Information
if it was collected
from you prior to a
significant change
in this policy. We
may also make
non-significant
changes to our
Privacy Policy that
generally will not
affect our use of
your Personal
Information and we
generally will not
notify you of these
non-significant
changes. You should
check this posted
Privacy Policy for
any non-significant
changes. If you do
not agree to the
terms of this
Privacy Policy or
any revised policy,
please exit the site
immediately.
5. We do not wish
to obtain Personal
Information from
individuals under
the age of 18.
6. Third Party
Sites.
This policy only
addresses our
activities from our
servers. Other sites
(including those
third party sites or
services you may
visit through Quilt
Block Dash) may have
their own policies
and practices, which
we do not control,
and thus are not
addressed by this
policy.
You can also opt out
of having us
disclose your
Personal Information
to our third party
partners that
provide certain
features of the
service (in which
case you will not be
able to access these
features). To the
extent that such
information is also
stored in other
databases, we cannot
always ensure that
such corrections or
deletions will reach
the other databases.
If you wish to have
information you
provided to us
online removed from
our records, please
provide us with the
information as you
submitted it to us,
as follows:
Postal:
Quilt Block Dash
PO Box 100
Medina, TX 78055
or by email at
QuiltBlockDash@yahoo.com
We will use all
reasonable efforts
to ensure that your
information is
removed from our
records.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, you
should understand
that Personal
Information
previously disclosed
by us to third
parties before you
delete or change
such information in
our database will be
used according to
such third parties'
privacy policies.
Security.
We use
industry-standard
methods to protect
your Personal
Information from
unauthorized access.
Among other
techniques, we store
such information on
a computer in a
secure location, and
we restrict the
number of employees
internally who can
access such data. We
are not responsible
if some other third
party gains access
to the database or
your membership
information by
evading our security
measures or
otherwise obtains
access to the
database, your
Personal
Information.
Amendments.
Amendments to this
policy will be
posted at this URL
and will be
effective when
posted.
Further Information.
We cannot ensure
that your private
communications and
other Personal
Information will not
be disclosed to
third parties. By
way of example,
without limiting the
foregoing, we may be
forced to disclose
information to the
government under
certain
circumstances, or
third parties may
unlawfully intercept
or access
transmissions or
private
communications, or
we might disclose
your information to
other sites as part
of offering
additional
functionality to
you. Additionally,
we can (and you
authorize us to)
disclose your
Personal Information
to private entities,
law enforcement or
other government
officials as we, in
our sole discretion,
believe necessary or
appropriate.
Therefore, we do not
promise that your
Personal Information
or private
communications will
remain private. You
acknowledge that
this privacy policy
is part of our
Membership and you
agree to be bound by
all of its terms and
conditions.
