By posting messages, uploading files, or otherwise providing any material to us for display on the Service, you are representing that you are the owner of the material, or are making your submission with the express consent of the owner of the material. In addition, when you post a message, upload a file, or otherwise provide us with material for display on the Service, you are granting Reformer.com a royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to:

The following policy governs Reformer.com's online collection of information from you. Specifically, it outlines the types of information that Reformer.com gathers about you while you are using the Service, and the way that Reformer.com uses and doesn't use this information. This Privacy Policy, including the children's privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means; for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail. In addition, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any activities (online or otherwise) of the Brattleboro Reformer print newspaper.

The information that Reformer.com collects about visitors while they are using the Service falls into two general categories:

1. Information You Provide to Us. Reformer.com may collect and store information, personal or otherwise, that you voluntarily supply either while on the Reformer.com website or in responding, via e-mail to a feature provided on the Reformer.com website. Some examples of this type of information include: demographic information that you electronically submit when you sign up for access to certain features on the Service, information (such as your name or e-mail address) that you electronically submit when you register for surveys, sweepstakes or contests on the Reformer.com website, information that you post on message boards on the Reformer.com website, and information contained in search requests or questions that you submit to the Reformer.com website. If you decline to supply or provide Reformer.com with certain information while using the Service, you may not be able to use or participate in some or all of the features offered through the Service.
2. Information that is Automatically Collected. Reformer.com also collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the Reformer.com website. For example, to enhance your experience on the Reformer.com website, Reformer.com uses a standard feature found in browser software called a "cookie." Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Reformer.com site, cookies help us track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Reformer.com site where you have entered preference information before. Reformer.com also uses web beacons (also known as "single-pixel GIFs") to access cookies and to count users who visit the Reformer.com site or open Reformer.com's HTML-formatted email messages. Another example of information that Reformer.com automatically collects as you navigate the Reformer.com site is information about your computer's connection to the Internet. This information allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Reformer.com site.

This children's privacy statement explains Reformer.com's practices with respect to the online collection and use of personal information from children under the age of thirteen, and provides important information on your rights under federal law with respect to such information.

We do NOT knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service. We screen users who wish to provide personal information in order to prevent users under the age of thirteen from providing such information. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personally-identifiable information from a user under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we will delete such information from our records. If we change our practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service.

Because we do not collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we also do NOT knowingly distribute such information to third parties.

We do NOT knowingly allow children under the age of thirteen to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information through the Service.

Because we do not collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we do NOT condition the participation in the Service's online activities of a child under thirteen on providing personally identifiable information.
