Privacy Policy
Our privacy policy is simple: your information is private. Period. We don't sell it and we don't trade it. We only collect your information for our own purpose, which is also simple: to serve you better.
At Extatica, we understand and respect your concern about the privacy of any information you supply to Extatica, Inc. So this statement sets forth the details of Extatica's Privacy Policy regarding your personal information as well as Terms and Conditions of Use pertaining to any web site owned by Extatica, Inc.
Extatica's Online Privacy Policy
Extatica Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the users of our web sites. This privacy policy will advise you about how we protect your personal information, and about what choices you have concerning our use of such information. Please read this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on our web sites. We will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather and how we might use that information. Please refer back to this policy regularly.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please send an e-mail to: info@extatica.com or contact us at : Extatica, Inc. , 775 East Blithedale Ave. #524, Mill Valley, CA. 94941.
Scope of Privacy Policy
This policy applies to your use of all of the web sites and services owned or operated by Extatica, Inc. This policy does not apply to your use of unaffiliated sites to which any of the Extatica Inc. web sites are linked. This policy covers only information collected on Extatica Inc. web sites and does not cover any information collected offline by us.
Personal Identification Information
We may request personal identification information from you in connection with your use of, or participation in, membership registration for www.Extatica.com services, our contests, sweepstakes, games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, content submissions, chats, bulletin boards, discussion groups, requests for suggestions, visitors' requests for free products or services or additional information (including via email to us), and in connection with other activities, services or resources we make available on any of our web sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user (such as, for example, your full name, street address, telephone number, credit card number or e-mail address) to any third party without having received your permission.
If you do provide us with personal information for any of these activities, we may use it to conduct the activity. We may also use cookie technology (discussed in detail below) to improve your experience of these activities, including to remember your preferences, customize the content and advertisements that you see or authenticate your access to your personal information. In addition, in the event your personally identifiable information is requested as part of our surveys or polls, such personally identifiable information may be added to your registration information).
We may also contact you to confirm your registration and about your account status (for example, when a child enters a new age group to which different policies apply), and regarding changes to the web site's Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal identification information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes. On occasion, for example, we may send you emails to introduce a product or service that we think might be of interest to the users of our web sites. For us to obtain your permission to send you this information, we will give you an opportunity to "opt-in" at the time our request for your personal information is made. If you do "opt-in," you may choose to "opt-out" at any time, even after you have provided personal information, by following the procedures set forth below at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to "opt-in," or if you later "opt-out," you may not be eligible for certain benefits for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or other personal identification information is needed.
We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of our web sites, or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate change.
Please note that if you give out personal information online -- for example, on one of our public forums such as a message board or chat room, folder, chat IM feature -- that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users' privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums. You disclose such information at your own risk.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your information and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your registration by way of your user identification information, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your registration or password.
Non-Personal Identification Information
We collect non-personal identification information through the use of:
"Cookie" technology: A "cookie" is an element of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system.
"IP address tracking": An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from our web sites, our servers log your IP address.
"Web beacons": A Web beacon, or "clear gif", is a small graphic image on a web page or web-based document that a web site can use to track the clicks of a unique IP.
Non-personal identification information might include the browser you use, the type of computer, technical information about your means of connection to our site-such as the operating systems and the Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information. Our systems may also automatically gather information about the areas you visit within our web pages, search terms you utilize on our web sites and about the links you may select from within our site to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online.
We use such information to administer the site and, in the aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on our sites. This way we know which areas of our sites are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our sites.
We may share this aggregate statistical information with our partners, suppliers and other third parties, but we will not share any individual names, personal navigational or other personal information. For example, we may use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our Sites. We may share demographic and preference information with this company to allow them to display appropriate advertisements for you.
Some of our advertisers may display ads on our sites which solicit or contain technology to collect information about our users for the advertisers, but we will not permit such advertisers to collect any personal information from our users within our sites.
In addition, Extatica Inc. and/or a third party research company employed by Extatica Inc., may set cookies to collect non-personal identification information regarding your exposure to certain advertisements on Extatica Inc. web sites.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of Extatica Inc. web sites, such as message boards, may not function properly.
Privacy of Children
We understand that young people need special safeguards and privacy protection. We realize that they may not understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to our adult users. We strongly urge all parents to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information while online.
Extatica Inc. web sites are not directed to people under the age of 18. We prohibit registration by children under the age of 18 for all interactive portions of our web sites including chats and message boards. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 18.
You agree to abide by these restrictions, and not to help anyone avoid these restrictions.
Links To Other Sites
Users may find advertising or other content on our web sites that link to the web sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the contents or links that appear on these sites. In addition, these sites or services, including their contents and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies, or no policy (policies) at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.
Security Policy
Protecting your privacy and your information is a top priority. Extatica has a number of operational functions in place to protect the confidentiality of personal information. However, perfect security on the Internet does not exist, and Extatica does not warrant that its site is impenetrable or invulnerable to hackers.

To help us address your request, please specify which information you wish to review.

To request such a correction, please send an e-mail to info@extatica.com .
