Privacy policy

Overclockers Online is committed to protecting your online privacy while providing you with useful and enjoyable web content. While you can use many features of Overclockers Online anonymously, you are required to provide personal information to gain access to some of our content and services.

How we collect and use personal information

Registering for membership on Overclockers Online gives you access to all the site’s information and features. With your approval, we occasionally will send e-mail to notify you about important changes to the site, new services, and special offers from us.

If you enter a contest or respond to a promotion, we may ask for your postal address, e-mail address and phone number so we can notify contest winners and deliver promotional goodies. We will never sell your information to anyone!

How we use “cookies”

“Cookies” are pieces of information stored on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a site. Overclockers Online uses cookies to identify members so they don’t have to enter a user ID and password upon each visit. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to modify security settings so you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis. Even if you do not use cookies, you can still access our content.

What we provide to third parties

Overclockers Online does not provide any third-party access to your personal information without your permission. By entering our contests, our sponsors may collect your e-mail address for use in informing you of their latest promotions and products. We will specify in the contest if your e-mail has been requested by the sponsor. We may provide third parties with aggregate statistics about our customers, traffic patterns, and related site information. This data reflects site usage patterns gathered during customer visits to our Web site, but it does not contain behavioral or identifying information about any individual member unless that member has given us permission to share that information.

Overclockers Online co-operates with Ziff David Media. You may review their privacy policy .
