Keeping It Under Our Feathers

The Chicks' Privacy Policy

Privacy Statement
Chickslayingnesteggs.com is committed to protecting and respecting the privacy of our registered users. We are committed to making your experience with us both pleasant and safe.

The following questions and answers explain why we collect some information about you when you register on our site. We hope it will give you confidence in who we are and what we're doing. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email us at feedback@chickslayingnesteggs.com.

Privacy Information

What information do the Chicks collect from you?

The Chicks collect a limited amount of information about site users, so that we can provide a site that is more interesting and useful. We ask for your name, email address, and zip code when you register to use our message boards, chat rooms, or My Club area.

If you email a message board post to a friend, you will need to provide us with your friend's email address. We will automatically send this person a one-time email that contains a link to the post. We will not use these email addresses for any other purpose.

How do the Chicks use the personal information?

We use the information you give us when you register (username, email address and zip code) to accomplish a number of things:

  1. To assure you a personalized experience on our site.
    Your unique username allows us to identify you with posted messages, chats, and as a member of a specific club (if you have been assigned to a club by that club's administrator).
  2. To keep in touch.
    We will not overwhelm you with unwanted email (see the next section), but we do want to be in touch with you every now and then. Our site is a community, and we want you to feel a part of it.
  3. To protect against misuse.
    We ask for a valid email address to help us guard our site against misuse. We need to know how to contact our users if we have any questions or concerns. We ask that you keep your email address current by updating it in your Profile as necessary. Our system will eventually delete any account if we cannot deliver email to its email address.
  4. To see where we're reaching.
    That's why we ask for your zip code. It's a very general way for us to find out where our users come from.

Will The Chicks use my email address to send me junk mail?

We hate junk mail ourselves. Why would we want to do that to you?!

When you first register with our site, you will receive a welcome email address. You will also receive confirmation emails whenever you make a purchase or register a club. Occasionally, we will send informational emails (newsletters, announcements, special Chick promotions, etc.) to our registered users. If you wish NOT to receive any of these emails, simply email us and request to be removed from the mail list.

Will you give my email address to anyone else?

We will not disclose any information -- including email addresses -- about individual users, except as described in this Privacy Policy, or to comply with applicable laws or valid legal process, or to protect the rights or property of Chickslayingnesteggs.com.

If you purchase items from our site, we will process the appropriate information required for credit card purchases and may, if necessary, forward your email address to a product provider (for example: Know Software, Inc. which supplies the Know Your Club software) in order to process an order or to assist in responding to your inquiries.

What security measures do you use to assure safe online purchases?

The information you provide when making a purchase on the Chickslayingnesteggs.com site is encrypted with SSL technology. You have the assurance of knowing your information is protected and secure.

How do I use my password?

Personalized areas of our site (for example: profile management, club administrative pages) are password-protected. We recommend that you do not share your passwords with anyone. If you forget your password, click on the "Forget your username and password?" link near the top of the Meeting Place page. It will send a reminder to the email address you gave us when you registered.

We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also if you are using a computer that others have access to, make sure the Log In option "Check here to remember your log on information" is NOT checked. If you're not sure, just click on the Log In link near the top of the Meeting Place page and make sure the box is unchecked.

What are "cookies" and how do you use them?

Well, we won't even begin to tell you how we use cookies at home! (Think white chocolate macadamia nut...) But browser cookies are small files of information that web sites place into a folder on your computer's hard drive. Cookies can make the web more useful by storing information about your preferences on a particular site such as ours. Although we may assign your browser a cookie, it doesn't tell us who you are. Only you can do that.

At Chickslayingnesteggs.com, we use cookies to automatically access your previously stored account information (if you choose the "remember my password" option when you log in) when you connect to our site in order to deliver a better and more personalized service. We use cookies to allow you to automatically access and make changes to your personal information and to store your preferences for message board settings.

Most browsers are set up to accept cookies, but you can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you when you've received one. If you reject cookies, though, you will not be able to use certain features of our sites such registering, automatically logging in, being recognized as a member of a particular club, or creating/changing your portfolio.

What's the difference between public and private areas on this site?

The information you post on public message boards, in chat rooms, and in such features as your Personal Profile or your My Club area is visible to the public. We encourage responsible, public dialogue. That's really the point of the profile, boards, chats, and interviews. Please remember that whenever you disclose personal information publicly -- for example, on message boards, through email, in chat areas, or in your My Club area -- that information can be collected and used by others. So if you don't want strangers to bother you, don't post your email address (or any other personal information) on any of these public areas!

We do give you the option of making your club's message board, chat room and My Club area private. That means only those users who have been added to your club's list (by your Club Administrator) have access to these areas. And, of course, our web administrators have access to all areas of the site.

How can I change my personal information or delete my account?

If you want to correct or change the information in your Profile, or any other information we have about you, please go to the Meeting Place and click on the Profile link near the top of the page. You can change profile information, including password and email address, by submitting new information on these pages. Note: You are not able to change the username you chose when you registered on our site. If you would like to change your username, please email your request to us. (Include your current username and password for verification.)

If you want us to delete your account information from our site, simply email us with your request and we will do so without question. (Include your current username and password for verification.)

Changes to this Privacy Statement

Chickslayingnesteggs.com may make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time, but we'll notify you of any substantive or material change (by way of email) and provide you with the opportunity to opt-out.
