Privacy Policy

Driven Source is founded on the principles of helping people to discover and share new, cool scripts by enabling them to share what they find interesting with one another. Driven Source knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy very seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the Driven Source website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy covers Driven Source's treatment of personal information that Driven Source gathers when you are on the Driven Source website and when you use Driven Source services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Driven Source does not own or control, or to individuals that Driven Source does not employ or manage.

Information Collected by Driven Source

We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website, which is to enable users to discover and share information with one another. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with this objective. We collect the following types of information from our Driven Source users:

1. Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.
* Registration: In order for you to use Driven Source services, such as submitting new scripts to the website, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require select personal information (including e-mail address).
* User Profile: To allow you to express yourself beyond just the information collected during registration, we enable you to provide additional information, such as a bio, favorite URLs, and instant messaging IDs. In addition, you may choose to include photos of yourself in your profile.
2. Automatic Information:
* We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Driven Source and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, Driven Source cookie information, and the page you requested. Driven Source uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.
* Driven Source may collect and, on any page, display the total counts that page has been viewed. This includes User Profile pages.
* Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While Driven Source will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.

E-mail Communications

Driven Source is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission. Driven Source may send out e-mails with Driven Source-related news, products, offers, surveys or promotions. You may also receive notification e-mails from Driven Source, which inform you of actions that have been performed on the site.

Cookies

* Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. Driven Source cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or e-mail address is.
* The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We recommend that you leave the cookies activated because cookies allow you to use some of Driven Source's coolest features.
* Some of our business partners, like our advertisers, may use cookies on our website. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies.

Sharing Your Information

Because Driven Source enables people to discover and share information with one another, information about the people who use Driven Source is an integral part of the Driven Source experience. Rest assured that we neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone and that we will share your personal information only as described below.

* Driven Source Personnel: Driven Source personnel and authorized consultants and/or contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of Driven Source business.
* Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Driven Source, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
* Protection of Driven Source and Others: We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Driven Source, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. * User Profile information: Information collected during registration and subsequent visits, such as your full name and location, may be displayed to other Driven Source users in your User Profile. The User Profile is the area on Driven Source where we allow you to tell other Driven Source users about yourself and your interests. You may control what personal information is displayed in your User Profile by visiting the Privacy Settings section of your User Profile.
* Member Directory: The e-mail address that you submit upon registration will be searchable by other Driven Source users who know you by your email address, unless you choose to opt out of this feature. This is primarily so that other users can find you to establish friendship through Driven Source. You may opt-out of this feature by visiting the Privacy Settings section of your User Profile.
* Syndication: Driven Source allows for the RSS syndication of all of its public content within the Driven Source website.
* With Your Consent: Except as noted above, we will contact you when your personal information is shared with third parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, and you will be able to opt out to prevent the sharing of this information.

Keeping Information Secure

* Your Driven Source account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.
* Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.

Children Under 18 Years of Age

You must be 13 years and older to register to use the Driven Source website. As a result, Driven Source does not specifically collect information about children. If we learn that Driven Source has collected information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. We recommend that minors between the ages of 13 and 18 ask and receive their parents' permission before using Driven Source or sending information about themselves or anyone else over the Internet.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Driven Source may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, at its sole discretion. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting an announcement on the Driven Source website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances if any, it is disclosed. Conditions of Use

If you decide to visit Driven Source website, your visit and any possible dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
