The above describes information that is provided "actively" - meaning, you
choose to submit this information to us when you join Community Feedback Network, or update
your account at any point after having joined. Some other information is
provided "passively" - meaning, that Community Feedback Network obtains this information when
you login to your Community Feedback Networkaccount and use the service. This is done primarily
through the use of "cookies." Cookies are used on Community Feedback Network to verify your
login information, and to optionally store your password in your browser so that
you do not need to type it in each time you visit. Any time that you point your
browser to a 'members-only' area, Community Feedback Network checks your browser's cookie
file to see if you have already logged in, and if you have, you're taken right
to the page that you have requested. If not, you'll be directed to the
Community Feedback Network login screen, where you can quickly and easily login to your account, or
signup for Community Feedback Network if you are not yet a member. Cookies are also used in
conjunction with some ad banners to determine their effectiveness.

Termination |
You can elect to terminate your membership with Community Feedback Network at any time.
Simply go to your My Forums page, scroll down
to the "My Info" menu on the left-hand side of the page, and select the "My
Preferences" link. On the "My Preferences" page and scroll down to the "Account
Status" section. Check the box next to "Want to cancel your account?" and scroll
down to the bottom of the page to the "Submit" button. Click on the "Submit"
button to cancel your account. Upon termination, your account information will
not necessarily be removed entirely from Community Feedback Network - this is to
reserve your identity so that no one else can create a new account with your
membername or email address, and also allows you the privilege of reactivating
your account at a later date if you wish to use Community Feedback Network again. The
termination of your Community Feedback Network membership will not automatically terminate
any affiliated memberships or registrations you have formed through Community Feedback Network forums.
If, after having joined a Community Feedback Network partner's service, you wish to be
removed, you should contact that service directly to have your membership
terminated.
