We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the users of our sites.

This privacy policy will advise you about how we protect your personal information, and about what choices you have concerning our use of such information. Please read this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on our sites. We will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this policy regularly. By using this site after we post any changes to our privacy policy, you agree to accept those changes, whether or not you have reviewed them

If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please send us an e-mail to: VFTN@visionforthenation.com.my (please attention to legal disclaimers).

SCOPE OF PRIVACY POLICY

This policy applies to your use of all of the sites and services owned or operated by VFTN. It does not apply to your use of unaffiliated sites to which any of the VFTN Sites only link.

PERSONAL INDENTIFICATION INFORMATION

We will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user (such as, for example, your full name, street address, telephone number, credit card number or e-mail address) to any third party without having received your permission. We may request personal identification information from you in connection with your participation in any activities provided by VFTN, and the use of our information, services or resources we make available on any of our sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us.

If you do provide us with personal information, we may use it to conduct our activities. If you identify yourself to us by sending us an e-mail with questions or comments, we may use your personal information to respond to your questions or comments. We may file your comments for future reference, or we may discard the information after we have reviewed it.

We may also contact you to inform you regarding changes to the VFTN Sites' TOS and this Privacy Policy.

If you give us your permission, we may also use personal identification information to introduce a service that we think might be of interest to the users of our sites. For us to obtain your permission to send you this information, we will give you an opportunity to "opt-in" at the time our request for your personal information is made. If you do "opt-in," you may choose to "opt-out" at any time, even after you have provided personal information, by following the procedures set forth below at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to "opt-in," or if you later "opt-out," you may not be eligible for certain benefits for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or other personal identification information is needed.

We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the VFTN Sites, or a physical threat to you or others.

Please note that if you give out personal information online -- for example, through a message board or chat room -- that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users' privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums. You disclose such information at your own risk.

PRIVACY OF CHILDREN

VFTN understands that young people need special safeguards and privacy protection. We realise that they may not understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to our adult users. We urge all parents to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information while online.

NON-PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION AND THE USE OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGY

We collect non-personal identification information through the use of "cookie" technology and/or IP address tracking. Non-personal identification information might include the browser you use, the type of computer, the operating systems, the Internet service providers and other similar information. Our system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on our sites and about the links you may select from within our site to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online.

We use such information in the aggregate to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on our sites. This way we know which areas of our sites are favourites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our sites.

We may share this aggregate statistical information with other third parties, but we will not share any individual names, personal navigational or other personal information. Some of our advertisers may display ads on our sites which solicit or contain technology to collect information about our users for the advertisers, but we will not permit such advertisers to collect any personal information from our users within our sites.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of the VFTN Sites, may not function properly.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Users will find other contents on our sites that link to the sites and services of our sponsors, and other third parties. We may initially visit the sites or services that are so linked, but we do not control the contents or links that appear on these sites. In addition, these sites or services, including their contents and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies, or no policy (policies) at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.

SECURITY POLICY

Protecting your privacy and your information is a top priority. We have taken careful measures to secure both your information and your physical premises. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Our secure server software encrypts information, ensuring that all Internet transactions remain private (unless sent by an unsecured means, such as e-mail).

ACCESS TO / CORRECTION OF INFORMATION

If you would like to review any personal information we have retained about you in our database, please send us an e-mail request for this information at VFTN@visionforthenation.com.my (please attention to legal disclaimers). Once you have reviewed this information, at your request we will correct personal information about you that you state is erroneous. To request such a correction, please send an e-mail to VFTN@visionforthenation.com.my (please attention to legal disclaimers).

CHOICE / OPT-OUT

If you "opt-in" to receive information from VFTN or others, you can change your mind later. If at any time you would like to stop receiving such information, you can let us know by sending an e-mail stating your preference to VFTN@visionforthenation.com.my (please attention to legal disclaimers).

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

By using any of the VFTN Sites, you signify your acceptance of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of the VFTN Sites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept those changes.
