Privacy
So far on this site, we do not collect personally identifiable information unless we solicit it from you (fairly) which at the moment is only on two occasions which is explained below.
One of the situations in which we will collect personally identifiable (if you can call it that) information is if you decide to register for an account on the Ruler of the Chicagoland Area page, we will ask you for your e-mail address, a username, and a password (and if you feel like providing them a few other things). We will never give out your e-mail or your password to anyone else (the other stuff is accessable through your profile). Pretty much the same conditions hold if you register for the forum.
Cookies are used to store information on whether or not you are logged in. They do no more and no less
Some information such as your country, monitor resolution, operating system, and browser may be sent to my site tracker (currently Google Analytics). This isn't tied to any personally identifyable information (like IP addresses or cookies), and is entirely anonymous. If you don't want these to be reported, most browsers either allow you to mask these or you can download anonymizing programs.
Be assured that I will share none of this information with anyone except for myself (and even then only for statistical purposes).
