Privacy Policy

I. General
AccessDance / AlphaShop, Inc., respects the privacy of every user who visits our Site. AccessDance / AlphaShop may collect personally identifiable information for registration in a number of locations throughout the Site, contests, sweepstakes, e-commerce, and other areas of the Site where information from the user is required. This Privacy Policy states how to verify the accuracy of personally identifiable information submitted to AccessDance / AlphaShop, how to request the deletion of personally identifiable information from the AccessDance / AlphaShop database, and how AccessDance / AlphaShop uses collected information.

II. Personally Identifiable Information
All personally identifiable information (PIA--name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and the like) collected by AccessDance / AlphaShop is provided voluntarily. Users are under no obligation to provide any PIA. However, if the user opts not to provide PIA, he/she may not be eligible to participate in certain areas of the Site.

III. Use of Personally Identifiable Information
AccessDance / AlphaShop may store and process PIA to better understand its users. AccessDance / AlphaShop may use PIA to contact users, and may also enhance or merge PIA with data obtained from other parties for the same purposes. AccessDance / AlphaShop will not give or sell personally identifiable information to any outside organization for such organization's own use without the user’s written or electronically indicated consent. PIA is shared with agents or contractors of AccessDance / AlphaShop, but only in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for AccessDance / AlphaShop.

The copy, claims, and offers contained in the Site are directed at residents of the United States and Canada only and are valid only in the United States and Canada. In keeping with this policy, AccessDance / AlphaShop may ask for verification of United States or Canadian residency, when handling certain comments, registrations, contest entries, and the like. If the PIA submitted indicates that you are not a resident of the United States or Canada, you may not be eligible for certain promotions, contents, or sweepstakes on the Site.

IV. Security
AccessDance / AlphaShop is committed to keeping user data secure and will take all reasonable precautions to protect PIA information from loss, misuse or alteration. Agents or contractors providing services to or for AccessDance / AlphaShop, who may have access to PIA submitted by users of the Site as explained above, are required to keep that information confidential and are not permitted to use that information for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for AccessDance / AlphaShop.

V. Minors
AccessDance / AlphaShop has no intention of collecting any PIA from children or individuals under eighteen years of age. Where appropriate, AccessDance / AlphaShop will specifically instruct any person under age 18 not to submit such information on the Site.

Upon discovery that a minor has provided AccessDance / AlphaShop with PIA, that minor's information will be removed from the AccessDance / AlphaShop database as soon as practically possible.

VI. Non-Personally-Identifiable Information Collected Automatically

Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet browser or computer operating system, the domain name of a linking Web site to or from AccessDance / AlphaShop, and IP addresses (i.e., the number that is automatically assigned to a computer for Internet usage). In addition, when a user views one of our Site advertisements, we may store some information on that user’s computer. This information will be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file and helps AccessDance / AlphaShop in many ways. For example, cookies allow for tailoring a Web site or advertisement to better match the user’s interests and preferences. Most Internet browsers enable users to erase cookies from their computer’s hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. AccessDance / AlphaShop does not collect PIA automatically, but may tie information collected automatically to previously submitted PIA.

AccessDance / AlphaShop Chat Rules

1. No Excessive Profanity.

2. Show respect for the channel moderators.

3. No sexually related camera activity.

4. No person under the age of 12 will be permitted in chat.

5. No racism or homophobia.

6. No cybering.

7. Users must NOT post msn / email / mobile phone information in the public window, if you wish to share your own info with another user, please do so via the private message function. However, AccessDance / AlphaShop strongly urges users not to give out such information, keep your privacy private!

8. Users who wish to complain about other users should private message the channel moderators, these can be identified by having bold green / red text in the userlist.

9. No begging to become a chat moderator / admin, should we require more moderators we will chose suitable candidates.

10. Be aware of, and respect, your current audience. AccessDance / AlphaShop Chat is a dynamic place, it is a conversation, not a message board where others can come and go and browse at their leisure. It's understandable that the discussion will drift into more specialised or even mature subjects at times, but if you are stretching a rule it is your responsibility to ensure you are not offending or excluding other participants in the chat.
If you are discussing more adult (sexual related) topics and someone asks you to stop or otherwise expresses discomfort, you should change subject, as should you if children are present. If you are not aware of which users might be young or who might be offended, then it's probably a good indicator that you don't know the channel well enough to be broaching risqué subjects. Cyber sex and pornography (including 'furry porn') are never acceptable conversation topics for the channel.

11. Under no circumstances will users post links to sexually explicit material, wether this be images, video, or audio, doing so will result in an immediate 7 day ban. (Links to censored images from the AccessDance / AlphaShop website are excluded from this rule).

12. No Flooding - which is sending too much information to the channel at once. Flooding is generally considered to be 4+ lines at once.

13. Repeating.....Repeating.....Repeating.....Repeating....(is annoying). Refrain, please, once is enough.

These basic rules are in place to ensure all users enjoy their time in AccessDance / AlphaShop chat, moderators are always on hand to enforce the rules, and should they be broken, users will be kicked and or banned from the channel.

And remember Do guard your privacy! You never know when a stranger may pop open a window showing you your street address and your phone number. Keep private information PRIVATE.
