OVERVIEW

Swapmamas facilitates swaps among the members of this service. You expressly agree that use of Swapmamas is at your own risk. You must be 18 years of age or older to use the Swapmamas service. Content posted to Swapmamas is solely the opinion and responsibility of the user posting the message. Swapmamas expects that all users will post respectful and courteous content. Swapmamas takes no responsibility and assumes no liability either for the content posted on the site, lost items, swaps that have fallen through, or for your communications and relationships with other Swapmamas members.

PRIVACY POLICY

Swapmamas views protection of users’ privacy as a very important community principle. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit swapmamas.com, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. We also use third party advertisements on swapmamas.com to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART Cookies

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using Double Click advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (“interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non-personally identifiable information.” It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
