Our users privacy is of utmost importance to us. We are publishing the following privacy policies for your review and so that you have a full understanding of what information the Shackleton Project does gather, and what we do with that information.

COOKIES
Except for our forums, the Shackleton Project website does not use cookies, or any other methods of gathering information about our users without you being fully appraised of it. When we do gather information by use of a cookie, that information is used strictly for tabulation of demographics and "hit counts". It is important for you to know the intent behind gathering that information.

FORUM COOKIES
Cookies are used by the Shackleton Project forums to track your preferences in configuration of the forum for your personal use and the time and date of your visit. From this cookie information, the forum is able to tell you which message are new and store your preferred method for reading the forums. No personal information beyond the preferences settings selected by you is gathered by these cookies.

EMAIL ADDRESSES AND SELLING OF EMAIL ADDRESSES
The Shackleton Project does not collect email addresses for resell to third parties without your knowledge. There are many sites that do this however, and we find the practice to be unacceptable.

EMAIL ROBOTS
If you have been on the web for anytime, you will know that there are email robots that circulate through sites collecting all email address on that site that it can find. We have no way to prevent this and all web sites are subjected to this. We do everything possible to prevent it, but these robots can garnish your email from here and just about everywhere else on the net for that matter without much that the webmaster can do to prevent it. When we are able to identify this as taking place, we actively pursue the vendor and will take legal action as the last recourse to prevent violations of our user's privacy.
