SparkTank Media Privacy Policy

SparkTank Media respects and protects the privacy of our customers and the data on our servers and website. The following privacy statement applies to the www.VisualFarming.com | www.SparkTankMedia.com websites, products and services.

This privacy statement reflects SparkTank Media’s current practices and will be updated as necessary to reflect future changes.

SparkTank Media Privacy Philosophy

SparkTank Media recognizes that the tremendous benefits afforded users of the Internet are vastly reduced if the individual’s privacy is compromised through the misuse of personal information. SparkTank Media is therefore committed to ensuring that you are in control of how your personal information is collected and how it is used.

Our philosophy is based on the assumption that any personal information that we receive through this site will be collected through an explicit opt-in process where the you, the user, explicitly grant us the right to collect that information for clearly identified purposes. We are committed to maintaining your right to remove your personal information from our records at any time through an easily exercised opt-out process.

Additional information about Internet-related personal privacy issues is available from the Federal Trade Commission at: www.ftc.gov/privacy/

Information Collection & Use

SparkTank Media is the sole owner of information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. SparkTank Media collects information from our users at several different points on our website. This information is used to follow up with your inquiry, alert you to future content that may be of interest and allow us to create new content that is most relevant to you.

Information Collection & Use by Our Customers

SparkTank Media never knowingly collects personal information from children. Our terms of use require that SparkTank Media subscribers must be at least 18 years of age. If we ever become aware that we have personal information on a child we will delete it immediately. SparkTank Media encourages parents to go online with their children.

Security & Privacy

We take every precaution to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information by using industry-recognized security safeguards such as firewalls, coupled with carefully developed security procedures to protect your information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration. When we collect sensitive account information such as credit card numbers, we protect its transmission through the use of encryption such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

SparkTank Media takes care to reinforce the importance of our website visitors’ security and privacy among our employees. Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information and, using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents for business purposes only. Additionally, we use internal and external resources to review the adequacy of our security procedures.

We will never share, sell, or rent your personal information with third parties for their promotional use. Occasionally, we enter into contracts with third parties so that they can assist us in servicing you (for example, providing customer support or additional training). The contracts prohibit them from using any of your personal information for their own purposes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them. We may also disclose certain information to partners who introduced you to SparkTank Media’s services. Lastly, we may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a legal process such as court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law enforcement request.
