What We Do With Data Generated from Traffic Each time a visitor comes to AmuseYourself.com, we automatically collect some basic information: the domain the visitor is coming from, the visitor's IP address, and (when we can) the page the visitor came from to get to our site, and the type of browser the visitor is using. We generate an aggregate picture of general traffic to help us understand how visitors use this site, and to help us make the experience of visiting this Web site more efficient, functional, and enjoyable. We cannot tell who you are from any of this information (which is standard information collected by virtually every site on the Web). Copyright All logos and trademarks on this site are property of their respective owners. All other content is copyrighted by individual authors and used with permission, except where otherwise indicated. Everything else, including design and graphics, is Copyright (c) 1996-2010 Joyce A. Rogers. All Rights Reserved. At times, we will provide material under U.S. Fair Use doctrine, meaning that we will copy/quote in a limited context from other sources. We may provide certain images, multimedia files, and programs on our site that unintentionally violate an original owner's copyright. We have a large library of material harvested from multiple sources, and while we do our very best to identify the origin of every source, and reproduce materials in strict accordance with United States law, at times we may make honest mistakes, which we attempt to rectify. We always attempt to attribute the original source or to license the material and do not knowingly violate U.S. copyright laws. If you are a publisher or owner of original content that you believe was posted here, and you believe the posting violates your copyright laws, please contact us through a comment link (found on most pages of the site), and we will remove offending material upon proof that you are the copyright owner.

Contacting the Webmaster You may contact the owner of this site at any time by leaving a comment on any page of this site that accepts comments. Are we making it hard for you to contact us? We're not trying to -- but we are trying to deflect spambots.

Everything we created: Copyright © 1996-2010 AmuseYourself.com. All Rights Reserved. Everything we didn't create, we have permission to use, but rest assured, somebody does hold a copyright on everything, so don't steal anything. If you do, we will call upon Cthulhu to bring down the same fate upon you as Laurence Harvey suffered in that "Night Gallery" episode you can't stand thinking about. If you want to contact us, we don't keep a "contact" link anywhere, because spammers love us (and we hate them). So if you want to get in touch, use one of the cleverly-disguised links to send us a movie spoiler, and we'll get the message... even if we just told you where to find the "contact" link, so it's not so cleverly-disguised anymore, is it? Oh, well. Cthulhu will get the spammers, too. Our faith sustains us. |
