Information Collection and Use

VerticalFix.com collects certain anonymous information about your visit to our site, which may include IP address, domain name, browser type, access time and referring website address. This information is not personally identifiable.

Personal information, on the other hand, is any information you provide to us—including and similar to your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address—that would enable someone to contact you. Vertical Fix can only obtain personal information if you provide it; doing so is totally voluntary.

Any personal information collected will not be released, sold or rented to any entities or individuals outside of VerticalFix.com.

However, Vertical Fix reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement officials in the event of an investigation involving information transmitted to our site by our readers and/or listeners. Vertical Fix will not be held liable for disclosing such information.

Vertical Fix will periodically conduct reader and listener surveys to better target content to our audience. We may sometimes share demographic information in these surveys with our advertisers. We do not share information collected about specific individuals with any third parties.

Contests and Sweepstakes
Vertical Fix will periodically run contests and sweepstakes. The full rules for our contests are clearly posted during each event. Information collected is used only to verify user identity and to contact winners and/or prize recipients.

Vertical Fix may offer contests or sweepstakes that are sponsored by or co-sponsored with third parties as identified in the official Contest or Sweepstakes Rules. These third parties may obtain personal information that readers and/or listeners voluntarily submit to participate in the contest or sweepstakes. Vertical Fix has no control over the third-party sponsors’ use of this information.
