- INFORMATION COLLECTED
In the course of operating the Site, Agenda may collect two types of information about our Users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
"Personal Information" is information about an indentifable individual, and includes, but is not limited to, a User's name, address, email address, birth date and gender. Personal Information is collected by Agenda when provided by User's when registering for a service made available on or through the Site, including but not limited to, promotions, contests or newsletters (each a "Speed Skating Nation Service"). In addition, if Users choose to contact Agenda, the User hereby consents to Agenda keeping a record of that correspondence so that it may fully address the subject matter of the User's communication. Agenda may also receive Personal Information from its business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm with Agenda that Users have permitted them to share such information. As permitted by law, business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization shall not be considered Personal Information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
"Non-Personal Information" is information of an anonymous nature, such as a User's Internet Protocol Address ("IP Address"), the domain a User may have used to access a Speed Skating Nation Service, the type and version of browser or operating system a User may be using, and the web site a User may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our Users (for example, the average age or geographical allocation of our Users), number of Users and average time spent on the Site, is also considered Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by Agenda in the course of operating the Site. For example, Agenda's web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through a User's browser or stored on a Cookie or through a web beacon when a User chooses to visit a Speed Skating Nation Service. The collection of Non-Personal Information allows Agenda to continually develop the Site to meet the needs of Users. Non-Personal Information is used by Agenda as described in this policy.

Agenda instructs its employees and agents with access to Users' Personal Information that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to each specific business. Users can help protect the security of their Personal Information by, for example, never giving out their passwords, since this is what is used to access Users' Account or Registration Information, or remembering to log out of their accounts and close their browser windows when they finish using the Site or surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to Users' information.
- ADDITIONAL PRIVACY PROCEDURES
Privacy procedures specific to a Speed Skating Nation Service can be found on the Site at the location of the particular Speed Skating Nation Service. Those procedures are an addendum to this policy, and are provided to the User at the place where they will be of most use to the User.

- USE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by Agenda in the course of operating the Site. For example, Agenda's Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through a User's browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when Users choose to visit the Site.
In addition to Agenda's practices related to IP Addresses, Cookies or Web Beacons, Non-Personal Information is used generally by Agenda to monitor and improve the operation of the Site, to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of Users, to measure User demographics and interests regarding parts of the Site, to describe Agenda services to third parties such as prospective business partners and advertisers, and to analyze how and where best to use Agenda's resources. No Personal Information will be disclosed during these activities.
Agenda may also use Non-Personal Information to inform its sponsors and advertisers as to the performance of a particular sponsorship (such as a promotion or contest) or advertisement. In such case Agenda may disclose to those third-party sponsors and advertisers the overall aggregate demographics available regarding, for example, who participated in a promotion or contest, or which Users saw and "clicked" on an advertisement. No Personal Information will be disclosed to such sponsors and advertisers as part of this process; only information in an anonymous, aggregate form will be disclosed.
- IP ADDRESSES
An IP Address is the unique number which is assigned to every direct Internet access point. Many IP Addresses can generally be associated with certain Internet service providers or large organizations. IP Addresses do not contain any Personal Information. When Users, through their browsers, request a web page or similar Internet information from another computer on the Internet, their browsers automatically provide that computer with an IP address to which it will send the requested information.
Agenda and IP Addresses: (i) When Users request any web page of the Site their browsers automatically provide their computers with their IP Addresses, to which Agenda's computers will send the requested information. Each such request is logged by Agenda's computers with information including the IP Address of the computer that requested the web page, and is stored by Agenda's computers as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy; (ii) Agenda may use Users' IP Addresses to display more appropriate and relevant content and advertising, such as content and advertising based on Users' geographic areas. Aggregate information derived from IP Addresses may be reported by Agenda to its advertisers and partners. For example, Agenda may report to its advertisers the estimated total number of Users accessing a particular part of the Site from a specific province; (iii) Agenda may use Users' IP Addresses to facilitate the diagnoses and remedy of a technical problem reported by Users or Agenda's technical team.
- COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred (through a User's browser) from a web site to the hard drive of a User's computer. The cookie identifies a User's browser and will NOT let a web site know any Personal Information about the User, such as his/her name and address. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot run on a User's computer, search a User's computer for other information, or transmit any information to anyone.
Agenda may use cookies to: (i) Monitor web site usage to improve the operation and performance of the Site and to make the Site easier and more convenient to use. For example, cookies help Agenda remember who Users are through their browser settings so that Agenda can offer and provide more personalized services, such as language preference. Cookies also allows Agenda to save passwords and preferences for Users so that they will not have to re-enter this information the next time Users visit the Site; (ii) Measure aggregate user traffic and demographic statistics, such as the number of Users, average time Users spend on the Site, average age of Users and similar statistics, which are related to the Site and any of the advertisements posted on the Site. This information helps Agenda to better understand when to modify, revise or update the Site and provides Agenda with details as to the performance of third party advertisements and content. This information may be reported, in aggregate form only, to Agenda's current and prospective sponsors, advertisers and business partners. No Personal Information will be disclosed in such reports; (iii) Display advertisements. Agenda and third party advertising providers used by Agenda may use cookies when serving advertisements.
Cookies are used on many major web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If Users prefer, they can reset their browsers either to notify them when they have received a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. Users should understand that while Agenda does not require Users to use cookies, certain parts of the Site will not function properly if Users set their browser to not accept cookies. Parts of the Site may contain electronic images known as Web beacons, which are sometimes called single-pixel gifs. Web beacons allow Agenda to count Users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are not used to access Users' Personal Information; they are a technique used to compile aggregated statistics about usage of the Site. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. Certain web pages of the Site may also contain Web beacons placed there by our advertising partners to help Agenda determine the effectiveness of its Internet advertising campaigns.
