Section 3. localKicks Board Rules
Membership Update - Membership is not an instant process. You may fill out a registration at any time but it will go into a queue to be approved. This is to encourage new members to spend some time reading the board and the board rules before posting.

1. Post with respect and civility. You don't have to agree with someone to afford them the respect to post their thoughts. And you don't have to like someone to be civil to them. If you've come to flame or have an axe to grind, go elsewhere. Attacking other posters will not be tolerated.

2. Each board is focused on specific topics. Please use appropriate boards for your submissions. 

3. If you see a post that violates the user agreement, is inappropriate or you have a problem with a post, contact a moderator.

4. Do not post copyrighted material on this board. All other publications works are copyrighted. If you wish to discuss material that is you can post the URL of the material.

5. While most of us are adults, some are not. References to alcohol, drugs and sex are inappropriate. Profanity will not be tolerated and attempts to circumvent the profanity filters will not be tolerated either.

6. Racial, ethnic and sexual slurs are grounds for immediate dismissal. Negative name calling of any kind is inappropriate.

7. Please try to read the first two pages for thread topics before you start a new one. Duplicate threads just drive good ones off the front pages.

8. With the creation of private boards for the discussion of private content, we ask that discussion of these articles remain on that board and not on other boards - which otherwise would defeat the purpose of providing a place for private content.

9. Don't go to other boards, talk smack and link to us. And don't come on here and link to places people are talking smack about us. We don't want a board war. Sure there are times when other boards have interesting content for us to read and that's fine.

10. Please do not use our boards to promote your product or company. If you are interested in advertising, please contact our advertising department.

11. No politics, no religion.

Section 9. Privacy Policy
Depending on what you do when you visit any Web site, you are providing information about your visit to the site's owners. This includes sites on the localKicks network. localKicks values privacy and thinks you do too, so we want you to have the information you need to make your own decisions about your personal privacy. When you visit or supply information to any Web site, we think it's a good idea for you to first understand what that site's privacy policies are. If the site doesn't tell you, don't hesitate to ask. The bottom line at localKicks is that we use the information that we get from your visit for internal tracking purposes, to make the localKicks network as useful and interesting to you as we can, and to respond to your requests for information or other services. Except as specifically noted below, we do not use your personal information for any other purpose, we never sell it to any third party, and we never share it with any third party. Here is more detail on how we handle information we learn from you when you visit localKicks.

Browsing: When you visit localKicks and move from page to page, read pages, or download content onto your computer, we learn which pages are visited, what is downloaded, the domains our visitors come from (e.g. 'aol.com,' or 'google.com') and the addresses of sites visited immediately before coming to our site. However, none of this is associated with you as an individual. It is measured only in aggregate. localKicks uses cookie technology as part of our login procedures for some content and our message forums. The information in the cookies lets us store your login information so you do not have to enter it many times during your session. These cookies do not capture your email address or other personal information, and cannot be read by any site other than localKicks. We also use standard web server log files, to help us count visitors and evaluate our site's technical capacity. We use this information to find out how many people visit localKicks, help us arrange the pages in the most user-friendly way, keep the site browser-friendly, and to make our pages more useful to our visitors. We record information on site traffic for advertising purposes, but not information on individual visitors to our site, so no information about you in particular will be kept or used.

Email: When you send us an email to comment on something or ask us a question, we learn your exact email address and the thoughts you share. We use your email address to thank you for your comment and/or reply to your question, and we will store your communication and our reply in case we correspond further. localKicks requires valid email addresses of our registered users and subscribers for three reasons. First, email is the best method for providing your initial login information for message forums and other areas. Your valid email address proves that you actually exist, and lets us get this information to you quickly. Second, we use your email address to notify you, if you request, of other changes to our services. Third, we allow you to opt-in to various email announcements on our network, for your favorite site or subscription plan, for the network as a whole, and for advertisers. Finally, we may utilize our subscriber and registered user email lists to notify our subscribers and users of various services offered by localKicks and its advertisers, as well as to publish various regular network promotions, team updates, and news updates.

Advertisers: localKicks utilizes banner ads and other advertisements that are purchased by various companies. We supply these companies with information on localKicks's traffic and other general demographic information on our readers, but we provide this information in aggregate, and DO NOT give them any of our subscriber or registration information unless you specifically opt in for those services. Again, any information you enter in a registration form or other information is protected by this privacy policy, and we WILL NOT give this information to anyone.

Third Party Advertising: We use various third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you. Such usage may include geographical targeting by IP address, as well as other methods.

Third Party Cookies: In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
