This statement outlines the privacy practices for Pelican Star. When you visit our site, you will be informed of the following: what personal information of yours is collected; the organization collecting the information; how it is used; who it may be shared with; what choices you have regarding the collection, use, and distribution of the information; the security measures in place to protect against loss, misuse, or alteration of information; and how you can correct any inaccuracies in your data.

We encourage children to always seek parental permission before submitting any personal information (such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or anyone else. We do not knowingly allow anyone under the age of 13 to register on our site or access features that require registration.

The information collected by Pelican Star falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily provided by visitors through optional registration, and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate through the site.

To take advantage of certain features on Pelican Star (such as subscribing to our newsletters, participating in contests, or joining forums), visitors may be required to register and provide personal information. This information helps us offer personalized features and make the site more useful to you. The more you tell us about yourself, the more we can tailor the experience to your preferences. However, providing this information is entirely voluntary. Without it, certain services (like contest prizes or specific email alerts) may not be available.

Even if you prefer to remain anonymous, you can still browse Pelican Star and enjoy many of its features.

To improve the user experience, we use a standard browser feature called a “cookie” to assign each visitor a unique identifier. Cookies do not reveal personal information unless you provide it, and they cannot access data from your computer’s hard drive. We may use cookies to prevent multiple votes in polls, reduce repetitive ad displays, and track which pages are visited most frequently. Our advertisers may also use cookies, though we do not control that process. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not be fully functional as a result.

Third-Party Advertising and Cookies

We work with third-party advertising companies that display ads when you visit Pelican Star. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other sites (excluding your name, address, email address, or phone number) to provide relevant advertisements. For more details about this practice and your options, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s website.

Server Information and IP Address Tracking

When you visit Pelican Star, our web servers automatically collect basic information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, including your IP address. This data is used to deliver web pages, tailor the site to your preferences, and measure traffic. Your IP address does not personally identify you.

Links to Other Sites

To enhance your experience, Pelican Star may provide links to other websites whose privacy practices we do not control. Once you leave our site, the handling of your information is governed by the privacy policy of the site you visit.

Data Security

All information collected on Pelican Star is stored in a secure database controlled by us. However, no security system is entirely infallible, and we cannot guarantee complete protection of the information you provide. Additionally, if you post in public areas (such as forums), the information you share becomes accessible to anyone online.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

As the web evolves, so may our privacy policy. Should any changes be necessary, they will be posted before they take effect.

By using Pelican Star, you agree to the terms of this privacy policy.
