PRIVACY AND COPYRIGHT POLICY

We're committed to protecting your privacy online.

Brew Crew has developed this privacy policy to ensure that you do not have 'the fear' regarding online behavior at our site. We will explain what kind of information we collect, why we do so, and what we do with it.

There is only so much information that any web site can collect. Brew Crew may collect information from you in three ways: IP addresses, cookies, during voluntary registration and promotional mechanics.

We log IP addresses for system administration, and to examine overall traffic information. IP addresses are not linked to any personal information. They help uniquely identify your computer on the Internet, which is important during the statistical analysis of site traffic, promotional campaigns, and to make cool charts for the office walls.

You can browse Brew Crew and read our topnotch content without registering or providing any personal information. After the initial flirtatious period, it is likely that you will wish to have a more meaningful relationship with us. Our registration process will require certain basic and very standard details about you. Similar information is requested from those who participate in competitions and promotions on the site.

To fully use our services you will need to register using our online registration form, the registration process is used to perfect our direction, features, and advertising and sponsorship strategies. During the registration process you can choose to be economical in terms of the information you wish to share. There is also the option of blabbing to us; we have built a large survey vehicle for those of you who like filling out fun lifestyle surveys. The more information you provide, the better the chance of us hitting the mark every-time. All information is used for internal analysis of marketing targets, user demographics and behavior. It is only ever used on an aggregated basis.

If you register you will receive a registration confirmation email. We may also email you with informative messages from time to time, with details of services, deals, policy changes, third-party products, and events which we believe you will be grateful for. You must check the appropriate boxes to opt-in for these emails. You can of course subscribe/unsubscribe at any time.

What do we do with the information that we collect?

We do not sell, rent, trade or give away your personal information. We will not disclose your information to third parties under normal circumstances. Helping you receive a requested service and complying with legal requirements being necessary exceptions. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Our employees are regularly made aware of the high level of importance we place on privacy.

We reserve the right to maintain information on registered users who have broken our Terms of Service agreement or who may have had their access to Brew Crew revoked in order to detect repeat offenders.

If you decide to disclose personal information when you post messages to discussion boards, the information is public once you have posted. This information may be used by others to send you unsolicited messages, adverts, and who knows what! Be Careful.

Brew Crew carries adverts and links to some other web sites. We are not responsible for any dodgy content found on those sites or for the privacy and safety of any information that you may choose to share with them. Please be on the look-out for terms of service and privacy statements at these locations. You are responsible for remembering your registration password.

Internet activity cannot be absolutely secure. Therefore, we assume no responsibility for the disclosure of information due to errors in transmission or unauthorised third-party activity.
