Information nikkoid gathers and tracks

of information about users: 1) Data that
users provide through optional, voluntary
registration on several of our sites, and 2)
aggregated tracking information derived
mainly by tallying page views throughout our
sites. Such information enables us to better
tailor our content to readers' needs and
help our advertisers better understand the
demographics of our audience. Because
Nikkoid.com derives a portion of its revenue
from advertising, providing such aggregated
demographic data is essential in order to
keep some of our services free to users.
Nikkoid does however
share the following information with the
publishers of the software titles that are
available through the online store:
- Name
- Address
- Email Address
- Telephone
- Fax
- Software Purchased
- Software Registration Code (where
applicable)
This information is provided
on the contractual understanding with each
software publisher that it is to be used
solely and exclusively for the purpose of
tracking customer software registrations and
providing technical support, as is the
standard practice in the industry.
Nikkoid.com does not
provide this information to any other third
parties under any circumstances.

statement should be directed

conducts customer surveys to better target
our content and product inventory to our
audience. We sometimes share the aggregated
demographic information in these surveys
with our advertisers and partners. We never
share any information about specific
individuals with any third party, except as
noted previously.

personal information. These contests and

traffic patterns throughout nikkoid.com and
this information is correlated with data
about individual users. Overall usage
statistics, according to a user's domain
name, browser type and MIME type gotten by
reading this information from the browser
string (information contained in every
user's browser), are also broken down.
nikkoid.com also tracks
and catalogs the search terms that customers
enter into our search tools, but this
tracking is never associated with individual
users.
