We here at Goats value the privacy of our users. We do not sell or give any personal information to other companies (not that they would want it). In keeping with a semblance of web standards, we would like to detail what information we use, and how we use it.
If you have any comments, questions, or feedback on this policy, please let us know via our contact form at:

Server Logs
The Web server does log your IP address and type of web browser in standard server logs. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.
Cookies
We use a "session based" cookie for every user to our website. It helps us store temporary information about you: preferences you set during your visit. It gets deleted from your machine when you close your browser, and the information associated with it gets deleted within 4 hours of you leaving our site.
We use a "permanent" cookie if you are a registered, logged-in user of the site, and opted to have us "Remember login info". This is how we know who you are in the forums, who exactly bought that premium membership, and whether you want email from us (see below).
We do not log the cookies in our web server logs.
We use PayPal and Amazon to get money from you. They have their own cookies, which may get sent back to them. For more information on those, see their privacy policies at:

Contact & Personal Information
When you register, buy something from our store, or purchase a premium membership, we receive some personal information. This can include name, email address, and address in all sorts of various cases. As we said, we won't sell this. If you bought something, we will use it to ship that product to you. If we have that information, you can find, and change, it at:
http://www.goats.com/users/subscription/
If you registered and gave us your email address, we might email you stuff, that's because you checked the box when you registered. To uncheck it, so we won't email you stuff, you can do that at:

Ad Servers
To try and bring you offers that are of interest to you, we have relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads on our Web pages. As a result of your visit to our site, ad server companies may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address and clickstream information. For further information, consult the privacy policies of:

Public Forums
This site makes forums available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
