This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We take the security issue very seriously and will always do our best to protect our visitors. However, no security mechanism is perfect and all visitors must understand that there are always risks that the personal information you send to DobberHockey may be intercepted by others through no fault of our own. DobberHockey is not responsible for such security breaches so long as it is not due to negligence on our part.

You will also be able to make changes (eg. Address changes) to your profile whenever you like. Please e-mail [email protected] for any such requests.
Why does our site need this information?
Collecting this data allows us to quickly and easily contact you. For example, we may need to notify you of technical issues, or if you win a prize using one of our sites. If you like, we can also keep you informed of new products and services being offered by DobberHockey, but we will always give you the choice of whether you wish to receive this type of information or not via an ‘opt out’. You can opt out by removing your email address from “Your Details”, or by emailing [email protected]
DobberHockey would like to make it clear that none of our advertisers, clients, or partners have access to your personal data. In addition, DobberHockey will never disclose your personal data to any outside party without your knowledge and consent except under the most exceptional circumstances such as: police authorities force us to by law/warrant; it is required for DobberHockey to protect ourselves against actions taken against us which threaten our rights and/or property, or those of our visitors, clients, partners, advertisers, or retailers.
Our sites provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving promotional/marketing information from us by sending email to [email protected] or by removing your email address from the “Your Details” section of the site.

DobberHockey is not responsible for privacy breakdowns which occur on public forums.
Children
Currently, all Dobber Web sites are available to any and all visitors, and we do not exclude anyone from using our sites based on their age (which we usually don’t know anyway). However, if we notice that a minor has sent us any private information through one of our sites, we would try, if possible, to inform the minor’s parents by e-mail that their child had done so.
Cookies
A cookie is information that a Web site puts on your hard disk so that it can remember something about you at a later time. For example, if you are visiting a site that offers you the choice of French or English text, cookies can be used to remember your choice for the next time that you visit the site. Our advertising agent uses cookies to keep a record of the ad banners that have been ‘served’ to you so that you will not see the same ads over and over.
The use of cookies has become standard practice in the world of Internet browsing. Browsers often come already setup to accept them. Cookies are harmless. You can view the cookies that have been stored on your hard disk (although the content stored in each cookie may not make much sense to you). The location of the cookies depends on the browser. Internet Explorer stores each cookie as a separate file under a Windows subdirectory. Netscape stores all cookies in a single cookies.txt file. You always have control over the cookies in your computer. You can delete them, or change your preferences to not allow the use of cookies in your computer at all. This will limit the options available to you on certain sites, and will exclude you from using certain sites that require cookies to operate properly.
DobberHockey uses cookies to send information which might be useful to our marketing service, and to deliver content specific to your interests, for example, it is by using cookies that DobberHockey saves your user name, which means that you don’t need to re-enter it each time you visit our site and want to post in the forum.
Reservation of Rights
DobberHockey reserves the right to modify our privacy policies. We suggest that you check this privacy statement from time to time to verify our position on privacy. That being said, the spirit of this statement will never change; we will always take the privacy issue seriously and will always do whatever is necessary to protect our visitors’, clients’, and affiliates’ privacy.
If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of Dobber web sites, or your dealings with those Web sites, you can contact us by email at: [email protected].

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
