Introduction
SpringfieldOhio.com collects information in different ways from Visitors and Customers who access the various parts of our Services and the network of Web sites accessible through our Services. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Services and, generally, do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.
Registration
Customers may asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. The personal information collected from Customers during the registration process is used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where SpringfieldOhio.com and a partner jointly promote the Services, SpringfieldOhio.com may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. SpringfieldOhio.com may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Customers provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Customers). We may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
Public Forums
Please remember that any information you may disclose in our Member Directory, or other public areas of our Web sites or the Internet, becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information in these public areas.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Customers send email inquiries to SpringfieldOhio.com, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. SpringfieldOhio.com does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.
Exceptions
As stated previously in this policy, we will never give out your information without your permission. The only exceptions to this are, when we are required by law, in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the law, or we must comply with a legal process served on our web site.
We may also need to give out your information if one of our partners requires it, but these situations are rare and we will always ask for your explicit permission first.

Notice of any revision, amendment, or modification will be posted. Use of the User Agreement of the SpringfieldOhio.com site constitutes consent to any policy then in effect.
