Privacy Policy for WebCam in a Box
I. Overview
WebCaminaBox.com (“WCB”) respects and safeguards the privacy of every individual who visits our website. This Privacy Statement is a formal document that outlines information which may be collected by WCB and how that information may be used. This Statement also informs how to proceed if you do not want your personal information collected.
II. Personally-Identifiable Information
The WCB Network will not collect any personally-identifiable information
about you (including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone
number, email address, Social Security number, Bank account or credit
card information, or any combination of data that could be used
to identify you, such as birth date, zip code, and gender) unless
you provide it to us voluntarily.
If you do not want your personally-identifiable information collected,
please do not submit it to us. If you have already submitted this
information and would like for us to remove it from our records,
please contact us through our Customer Care department. We will
use reasonable efforts to delete your information from our existing
files in a timely manner.
When you provide us with personally-identifiable information, such
information will be gathered solely by the WCB Network and is for
use solely by the WCB Network. At any point where personally-identifiable
information is requested, the information is optional to provide
rather than mandatory. We may use personally-identifiable information
in the following ways, unless stated otherwise: we may store and
process that information to better understand your needs and how
we can improve our products and services; and we may use that information
to contact you. Financial information that is collected is used
to check the users' qualifications for registration and to bill
the user for products and services. WCB may utilize electronic newsletters
to reach all or a subset of all registered users, using the e-mail
address collected. Users may remove themselves from such mailing
lists at any time by following the instructions that will be included
as part of any of such mailings. WCB may request personally-identifiable
information on specific pages that allow users to contact WCB. In
all cases, such information is being collected to assist us in solving
a specific issue addressed by the user and/or to allow us to contact
the user with an appropriate response. Under no circumstances, unless
required to do so by subpoena or court order by an authorized law
enforcement agent or appointed Officer of the Court, will WCB release
any personally-identifiable information, in whole or in part, to
any third party, without first obtaining the express consent of
the individual user.
III. Non-Personally-Identifiable Information Collected Automatically
In some cases, information may be collected about you that is not personally-identifiable. WCB may collect this information directly, or indirectly, through certain third parties such as DoubleClick.net. Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet Browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using and the domain name of the website from which you linked to our site. To learn how to prevent WCB and other parties from using cookies during your visit to WCB, see "How to prevent WCB or other parties from writing cookies to your hard drive" and "How to erase cookies from your hard drive" below.
A. How to erase cookies from your hard drive
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Windows users: Make sure that Internet Explorer is not running.
Using the "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer",
browse to the Windows folder. If you are using Windows 3.1 or Windows
95/98 without user profiles enabled, double-click the "Cookies"
folder. If you are using Windows 95 with user profiles enabled or
Windows NT, double-click the "Profiles" folder, double-click
the folder with the same name as the name you use to log on to Windows,
then double-click the Cookies folder. Locate the username@site.txt
file (username is the name you use to log on to Windows and site
is the name of the site whose cookie you wish to delete). Click
the cookie file, then click Delete on the File menu. If you wish
to delete ALL cookies, just delete all the file that follow that
are named username@site.txt.
Mac users: The instructions for deleting cookies depend on which
version of MSIE you are using. For MSIE 2.x, simply delete the System
Folder:Preferences:Explorer:Cookies.txt file. For MSIE 3.0, Delte
the System Folder:Preferences:Internet Preferences file (however,
this may affect other Internet-based applications, so do not delete
this file unless you have written down all of the settings your
others applications may need). For MSIE 3.01a, on the Edit menu,
click Preferences, then, under "Receiving Files" click
Cookies, then the cookies you wish to delete, click delete, and
click OK. For MSIE 4.x, on the Edit menu, click Preferences, then

Windows users: Make sure that Netscape is not running. Using the
"My Computer" or "Windows Explorer", browse

then your current user profile folder (often "default").
Within this folder, locate the file called "cookies" or
"cookies.txt". Right-click on this file and select "Delete".

VI. Public Forums
This site makes chat rooms, forums, message boards and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information, and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
VII. Minors
Because WCB is an e-commerce-driven web-conferencing platform,
the company's services are directed to adults who possess validated
credit-card information and are never marketed to individuals under
the age of 18. WCB's registered "video chat hosts" host
chat rooms under a potentially infinite number of different categories,
ranging from how/to instruction to adult-oriented topics.
Certain portions of WCB which may contain content considered offensive
to some, are inaccessible to individuals under the age of 18 via
a standard "credit-card" wall, as advocated by the Communications
Decency Act. For those portions which may be accessible to individuals
under the age of 18, such as the WCB home page and other areas presenting
non-offensive content, WCB has no intention of collecting any personally-identifiable
information (that is, name, address, telephone number, or email
address) from individuals under eighteen years of age. Where appropriate,
the WCB Network will specifically instruct minors not to submit
such information on our websites or advertisements. If a minor has
provided us with personally-identifiable information, a parent or
guardian of that minor should contact our Customer Care department
if they would like this information deleted from our records. We
will use reasonable efforts to delete the minor's information from
our existing files in a timely manner.
VIII. Whom to Contact
If you have submitted personally-identifiable information through the WCB Network website and would like that information deleted from our records, please contact our customer care department on this website and provide us with your name, your WCB Network screen name and any other pertinent information. We will use reasonable efforts to delete this information from our existing files in a
