All texts, images and code on this site are Copyright USDailyNews, 2008, 2009 or later.

Privacy

Readers – We never collect any data to personally identify individual readers. We do employ Webalizer and Google Analytics to track our statistics, each of which may record what site you came from, how many pages you viewed, and from where in the world you did so, but this information is entirely incapable of individually identifying you as a reader.

Some of our advertisers may further track IP addresses in order to ensure that fraud is not being committed against clients, but again, this may never personally identify you. If you have further question, please review the privacy policies listed on Google Adsense and Value Click Media. Any additional advertisers we may have will be required to comply to these industry leading standards.

Contributing Commenters – If you wish to post comments to an article, you will be required to create an account and validate it via email correspondence. This is not in order to track or record you, but to lessen the impact of spam against our system. We will never send you any messages, bulk or otherwise, to the email address you used to register. We also do not sell, trade or otherwise share the list of registered users with any other company.

The only time we will ever share what little we know about your account will be limited to orders from recognized courts within the United States.

Contributing Commenters are also bound by the privacy terms laid out for “Readers” as listed above.

Contributing Writers – If you become a contributing writer, which we strongly encourage, your personal information will likewise remain private. The expansion from the terms laid out for “Contributing Commenters” is that members of our editorial staff may email or otherwise contact you (via methods specified by you) in order to clarify article content, suggest future articles, or discuss compensation.

For paid writers, we may require you to furnish your Tax Identification number (individual or business) prior to the end of the year, as required by law for filing with the Internal Revenue Service (for income in excess of $400 only.)

Contributing writers are also bound by the privacy terms laid out for “Readers” and “Contributing Commenters” as listed above.

Advertisers – If you choose to advertise on USDailyMirror.com, we will not respond to any requests for personally identifying information, except from recognized United States courts of law, or to companies that you may have purported to represent. We will never disclose to anyone, including your competitors or other publishers, the terms of your advertising package under any circumstances. We also will never sell, trade or otherwise disclose your information to other companies without your express written consent, regardless of the intended purpose.

Advertisers are otherwise bound by the privacy terms laid out above for all other classes of site users.


Legal Complaints

If you have a legal complaint, you must use the following resolution methods. If you file a DMCA take down notice, or otherwise attempt to impact our publication without first attempting to seek a resolution, you will be pursued for all damages regardless of the merit of your claim. We work proactively to preclude legal complications, but we also work reactively. We can’t react unless you contact us directly. Damages for an unlawful take down will be at least $1,000 per day plus legal costs, and your information will also be shared with advertisers, who may as well wish to pursue damages against you.

These complaints will be addressed within 7 business days, but typically much sooner. If you do not hear a response within 7 business days, you may request a service address to serve legal complaint, and we’ll provide it to you.

Image Copyright – If you believe you are the rightful owner and copyright holder author of an image that appears on this site, please use the contact page to notify us the Headline and URL of the story, as well as the file name of the image in question, along with the basis of your claim. These complaints will be addressed within 7 business days, but typically much sooner. If you do not hear a response within 7 business days, you may request a service address to serve legal complaint, and we’ll provide it to you.

Libel/Defamation – You must begin your complaint by using our contact form to issue a Cease & Desist notice, along with the basis of your claim. As with all complaints, we will review it within 7 business days, but typically much sooner. If you do not hear a response within 7 business days, you may request a service address to serve legal complaint, and we’ll provide it to you.
