COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
The only personal identifiable information about visitors to
this Site collected electronically on this Site and maintained
by Mirage is a visitor's name and e-mail address. This limited
personal information is only collected if a visitor voluntarily
provides such personal information in connection with the Site's
Art Contest, Fan Mail and Fan Forum pages, Classified Ad submissions
and Merchandise Orders. Any other information submitted electronically
by a visitor is submitted voluntarily and is not maintained by
Mirage.
Other personal information like addresses, telephone and fax
numbers and credit card information is obtained only by mail or
over the telephone, and only in relation to Art Contest and Merchandise
Order submissions. This information is not maintained electronically
by Mirage.
This Site does not employ "cookies" to obtain information about
any visitor. In addition, Mirage does not use any visitor information
for marketing, mass mailing or solicitation purposes of any kind.
Mirage will only use personal information collected from a visitor
to respond to a specific question or request from the visitor,
such as responding to a Fan e-mail question.
Finally, Mirage does not share, in any way, any visitor personal
identifiable information with any third parties.
COLLECTION OF NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
When visitors come to the Site, Mirage collects and aggregates
certain non-personally identifiable information indicating, among
other things, which web pages were visited, the order in which
they were visited, the length of the visit, and which links, if
any, were "clicked" by the visitor. Collecting such non-personally
identifiable information may involve the logging of IP addresses,
operating system, type of browser and Internet service provider
used by each visitor. Although such information is not personally
identifiable, it can be used to determine the IP address of the
visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location
of the point of connectivity to the Internet.
Mirage uses this non-personally identifiable information in
order to improve the Site. By tracking how many people visit the
Site and where visitors go on the Site, we are able to continually
improve the Site for our visitor's enjoyment. Mirage may also
disclose some of the non-personally identifiable information obtained
to advertisers to inform them of how many people have seen or
linked to their advertisements on the Site. However, we will never
disclose personally identifiable information to these advertisers
without proper consent, including parental consent for visitors
under age 13.
LINKS
Mirage has established relationships with advertisers and business
partners that allow visitors to the Site to link directly to sites
operated by these advertisers and business partners. Any such
linked sites are not owned, operated or maintained by Mirage.
These linked sites may collect personal information from visitors
for their own purposes under their own policies and procedures.
You should refer to the Privacy Policy at such linked sites for
information about their privacy policies and procedures. Mirage
does not obtain any personal information from advertisers or business
partners regarding visitors to their sites.
Mirage tries to choose its advertisers and business partners
carefully. However, Mirage is not responsible for the content
or practices of sites operated by third parties that are linked
to the Site. These links are meant for visitor's convenience only.
Links to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship, endorsement,
or approval by Mirage.
