Information This Site Gathers And Tracks

Color Printing Forum through its websites ColorPrintingForum.com, ColorPrinterForum.com, ColorPrintForum.com, 4color.info, PrintingPressForum.com, and PrintDirectory.org (hereafter collectively referred to as Color Printing Forum) gathers two types of information about users:

Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys.

Information Color Printing Forum gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience.

Color Printing Forum Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:

Optional Voluntary Information

We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
  1. ColorPrintingForum Message boards/forums/marketplace forums
    Users of the site's Forums must register separately for these services (free of charge) in order to post messages, although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
  2. Business Submission to the Print Directory
    Businesses or users wishing to appear in the Print Directory may register (free of charge) and provide voluntary information including Business name, address, description, email address, and phone number.
  3. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
    Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
  4. Polling
    We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Color Printing Forum may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
  5. Surveys
    Color Printing Forum may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.
Usage tracking

Color Printing Forum tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Color Printing Forum does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

Color Printing Forum sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
