What personal information is collected from you
The Tomahawk Times collects information from you in several ways from different parts of our web site.
Some personal information is gathered when you register for the Alumni Directory, Photo Gallery and Message Board. During registration we ask for your name and email address.

With whom your information may be shared
As a general rule, Tomahawk Times will not disclose any of your personally
identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below.
Tomahawk Times may disclose account information in special cases when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of Tomahawk Times, other users of Tomahawk Times, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Tomahawk Times may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our

What choices are available to you regarding collection,
use, and distribution of your information
If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the Tomahawk Times web site, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser
preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services of the Tomahawk Times web site that require registration in order to participate. You can still use most of the features of the Tomahawk Times web site even if you do not accept cookies.
Tomahawk Times does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will
notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer. If you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to use a particular service.

The kind of security precautions that are in place to
protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information
Other than the administrator of the Tomahawk Times web site or other
authorized personnel of the OHSAA, you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Tomahawk Times
will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Tomahawk Times cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

How does Tomahawk Times protect children's privacy
Tomahawk Times is a general audience web site. Children should always ask a
parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. Tomahawk Times does not share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, Tomahawk Times will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13.

What else you should know about your online
privacy
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online - for example anything that you post or through email - that the information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible
whenever you're online.
