Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Furthermore, we are not responsible for the content of user comments. We only post names with the permission of the user who submitted the story, unless it was from a public source, such as a newspaper, television show, or previously published web page. If you feel a name has been posted erroneously, please email your concerns to us. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any statement made by individual users in the comment section. By your use of this site, you agree not to hold the owners of this website (cockatooinn.com) liable for libel, slander, defamation, or similar offenses.

Copyright

Generally we recognize that all memories are imperfect. However, by use of this website, you agree that submissions you make are actual memories of events you experienced, not false stories protected under copyright by another party. You further agree that any submission by you – whether it is a comment or a submitted memory or story – become property of CockatooInn.com and you release this information to CockatooInn.com for use in its publications, books, magazines, online properties, social media sites, and promotional and marketing materials.

Under the DMCA, if you feel your copyright has been violated or breached in some way, and you wish to have your lawfully owned material removed from this site, please email us at friends@cockatooinn.com. At this time we only respond to actual copyright holders.

Advertising

Throughout the site, we may show advertising, banners, affiliate links, or partner links that may be financially beneficial for us. We do it cover the costs of the site and the research effort. We have no control over ad content displayed on this site, but we do our best to limit objectionable or divisive ads.

Data

At this time, any of your information collected through analytics or through personal contact (email, social, web searches, etc.) are not sold to any third party. However, CockatooInn.com and its properties reserve the right to do so without notice at any time.

As a necessity, your personal information is shared with our merchandise fulfillment partner, Royale with Tees when you order from our shop. Any other personal data obtained is not organized in any meaningful way for future use. However, any and all policies are subject to change and may change at any time.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

At this time, we do not share your data manually unless you specifically request us to. For example, if a user would like to get in touch with someone mentioned on this site, they may leave their contact information for us to pass on. CockatooInn.com and Royale with Tees reserve the right to sell your data without notice.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

For users who manually interact with us via email, social media, or by other electronic, tangible or in-person means, your information may or may not be kept indefinitely. To get a sense of what we do with your information, the answer is that once our interaction with you is over, we rarely handle any of your data at all. The exception is if you have contributed content to the website in which your name, media, or contact information appears.

User Submitted Content

All user-submitted correspondence, content, images, media, and other materials used for this website or shared with CockatooInn.com become the property of CockatooInn.com for use on CockatooInn.com and its properties.
