Use of information

Information we collect and how we may use it:

• We may collect both personally identifiable (name, email) and non-personally identifiable (gender, zip code, country, age) information.
• If you sign up for the Fan Club, enter contests, complete surveys, or use our message board, we may request your contact information (name, email address, date of birth, gender, location, etc.).
• The information collected in conjunction with our message board will not be used by us for any other reason than to identify yourself on the board. Please keep in mind that if you voluntarily disclose personal information in the message board on this web site, the information that you provide may be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from other people. You should NEVER disclose personal contact information (i.e. email address, home address, phone number, etc.) to strangers in public forums such as bulletin boards or chat rooms. You hereby accept all risks associated with any such disclosure and acknowledge that Def Leppard, DefLeppard.com, its agents, administrators, representatives, employees, successors, assigns, and attorneys shall have no responsibility or liability as a result of any such disclosure.
• Otherwise the only information that we may disclose to a third party vendor would be aggregate non-personal information, such as statistics and demographics. This may include demographic information (gender, general location, age, sales and traffic patterns), but this information is NEVER identifiable. We do not sell, trade, donate, or rent personal information...EVER!

Cookies

Cookies are non-personally identifiable information, small pieces of information stored by your browser on your hard drive. They are not programs and cannot be used to read any data or files on your computer and it is unlikely that a cookie will cause a virus. They are used to make viewing our website easier by saving your preferences and password, so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site. Cookies also enable us to gather the amount of times a user has visited our website and the pages that are viewed. We do this in order to better our website. This gives us information as to what is interesting on our site and drives traffic to it and what doesn't.

If you wish not to accept cookies, simply choose the "disable your cookies" option on your web browser, as most web browsers are automatically set up to accept cookies. Please keep in mind that this will erase any personalized preferences you have set up and it may be difficult to complete transactions, such as signing up or logging in to our message board.

Children's privacy

This website is in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and does not collect use, or disclose the personal information of a child under the age of 13. Furthermore, if a child under the age of 16 registers on our site, we will not accept the registration and the information will be deleted immediately. In the event that a child posts personal information on our message board, we will attempt to delete that information once we become aware of it. You may contact us for any removal of such information.

Limits of Liabilities and Legal Process

We may be forced to disclose personal information in response to legal matters or should the law require it. This would be an unlikely situation, but information could be requested due to a subpoena, court order, or law enforcement agency's request.
