The only time user information is collected is when we get emails from viewers regarding advertising, affiliation, link exchanges, general requests, or any other reasons
that may apply. We also have a topsites list that website owners participate in to give their pages more exposure. Oritsuru does not expect any of its viewers to forcefully
or even voluntarily disclose their personal information. However, we do the best we can to protect the privacy of everyone and to ensure the satisfaction of those who
visit our website.
Third-Party Advertising
Oritsuru currently displays advertisements throughout the website, which are brought to you by Google and ValueClick Media. In this regard, the only type of information
that is collected from you, as the viewer, is the number of times you have viewed an advertisement. In no way do these companies take your name, age, address, or other
personal information, unless of course you proceed to an advertiser's website and complete any of their potential forms or requests. With that being said, we are not
responsible for any external websites that are linked through the advertisements.
Third-Party Cookies
In the duration of you viewing our website and the ads that coexist within our extensive amount of pages, our third-party advertisers may place or recognize a unique
"cookie" in your browser. It is simply used as a reference to avoid any duplication in data that they collect, regarding hit traffic and such.
External Links & Affiliates
Here at Oritsuru, we provide our viewers with not only our own in-depth coverage and media, but also external links to other websites with a similar genre. We have
personally taken the liberty to check out each of our affiliates and choose them wisely. However, it is not our responsibility to investigate any privacy issues that may
be of a concern regarding these websites. Visit them at your own perusal. User discretion is advised.
Community Forums
Oritsuru happily encourages its members to join our online message boards to meet new people and engage in both educational and entertaining discussions. When
joining, users are asked to complete a form that asks for their preferred username, password, birth date, and other information that may be seen as personal. However,
we respect our members as individuals and protect their privacy to the utmost extent. It is important to remember that any information that you provide that may be deemed
unecessary is of your own free choice. This goes for pictures you may display of yourself, or life situations that you choose to discuss with others.
If you have any questions at all regarding our privacy policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
