Rocky Mountain Heartbeat Drums has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of visitors to this site. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site. Handmade-Drums.Com will be referred to as: HMD.

The host server that the HMD web site runs on collects "log" files that are quite common for the vast majority of servers found throughout the world on the Internet and World Wide Web (most of which are required of them by law within their individual physical jurisdiction), and we use your IP address from those logs only to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.

This site may contain links to other sites and other sites to this site. HMD is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Web sites.

Within the HMD web site, there is an information section that will contain areas for both "Clients" of and "Visitors" to the site as well. Within those sections (as with all other sections of the site) there will be direct Electronic Mail (E-mail) links to HMD, and visitors to the web site are encouraged to send E-mail rather than using forms for submitting information to HMD. We request this for the simple reason that it makes it much easier for us to respond directly to Clients and Visitors questions, comments and needs. HMD is committed to helping to protect your confidentiality, and we will not share your E-mail address, your IP address or any other identifying information about you to any third parties with only the following two exceptions:

Any information received by HMD via E-mail or any other means, which is in possible violation of Local, State, US or International Laws and Statutes. We will refer any such information immediately to any lawful enforcement agency as may request it, or we may deem necessary, for the purposes of prosecution or litigation of such laws, and all information received by HMD is considered to be public record in this regard.

In many countries throughout the world, it is actually a criminal act to "spam" or send any person or entity any form of unsolicited E-mail without their expressed permission, and HMD shares similar philosophies and concerns. Therefore, HMD will not solicit Clients or Visitors without their permission.

Clients or Visitors to the HMD web site provide any information that is volunteered and clearly intended and stated in writing to be freely shared with others, we may include it in our web site. However, we will not publish or otherwise share any such information without the prior approval and consent of the person(s) submitting the information. Should HMD wish to include something that a Client or Visitor shares with us through our web site, we will ask your permission to do so first!

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. In addition to the security measures and logs that are kept by the server for maintaining security on this site, HDC also maintains complete logs of all activities on the web site that attempt in any way to copy and read (browse), upload, edit or otherwise address any and all files contained in the HMD web site.

With the exception of normal browser caching functions (required and allowed for viewing of this site), any attempt to alter files, upload files, or delete files contained in this web site, or otherwise disrupt or interfere with the operation of this web site, will be immediately detected, documented and reported to Local, State, United States or International authorities for prosecution.

Choice/Opt-Out

Our site provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us at the point where we request information about the visitor.

This site gives users the following options for removing their information from our database and not receive future communications or to no longer receive our services:

You can send E-mail to rmheartbeatdrums@comcast.net and request  removal from mailing lists, changes or modifications to any informatiion that has been provided by users and/or to request termination of Web site services or other offers, if any. Clients of HMD who are under current contract for services must use the means set forth in the contract for any changes or termination of services.
