Privacy Notice

We collect no personal information about you when you visit our web site unless otherwise stated or unless you choose to provide this information to us.  However, our Internet Service Provider collects and stores certain information automatically which is supplied to us in summary reports, which includes:
 


    * Internet Protocol (IP) address of the domain from which you access the Internet, either your individual address or the proxy provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

    * Date and time you access our site.

    * Pages you view (recorded by the text and graphics files that compose that page).

    * Web address of the site from which you linked directly to our site.

    * Browser version and operating system of the computer you are using.

 

This information is not shared with anyone beyond the web site support staff, except when required by any law enforcement investigation, and is used only as a source of anonymous statistical information.

The Site does depend on some of the information to provide enhanced features and to protect the integrity of our Server operations.  Unfortunately it has become necessary to add firewall and other protective measures because of the actions of a few destructive individuals.  The safeguards that have been put in place are meant to limit the ability of those individuals to negatively impact the performance of the Site.  However, under rare circumstances that may also cause legitimate users to experience an abnormal web site behavior.  If you feel you are experiencing unusual behavior while legitimately viewing the Site we would encourage you email the webmaster with the details.

Intellectual property

The text, graphics, and photographs (collectively, the "Content") on this Site, as well as their selection and arrangement, are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and/or other intellectual property laws, and any unauthorized use of the Content may violate such laws and the Terms of Use.

The Miss Oregon Scholarship Foundation does not grant any expressed or implied rights to the use of the Content.  By accessing or using the Miss-Oregon.Org web site you agree not to copy, republish, frame, download, transmit, modify, sell, assign, distribute, license, sublicense, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on the Site, or its Content, or their selection and arrangement, except as expressly authorized herein.  In addition, you agree not to use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction methods in connection with the Site.

Sections of the Site, such as the Photo Galleries, showcase the work of various individuals.  Such works belong to their creators and are protected by copyright or other proprietary laws.  Those works are included on the Site for display purposes only and are not in the public domain.  Accordingly, you may not download, archive, re-post, or print these works unless there is an explicit notice associated with the work expressly permitting such uses.

Although it is not our intention to do so, the Miss Oregon Scholarship Foundation reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to restrict, suspend, or terminate any access to all or part of this Site, at any time if we have cause to do so (including, without limitation, our good faith belief that there has been a violation of the Terms of Use) without prior notice or liability.


Hot Linking

"Hot Linking", which is also known as "bandwidth stealing", refers to linking directly to objects not located on your own server, such as images or photographs.  The result of hot linking is that our host server is robbed of bandwidth, which also comes with a financial burden to us.  Because of the continued abuse of hot linking to forums and other web sites, as well as copyright theft of our photographs, we have had to put a technical block on the serving of all graphics and photographs.  Photographs can only be seen when viewing pages directly from within this site.

The bottom line is hot linking takes server time, control, and bandwidth away from the legitimate users that visit this site and we will not allow it.  If you would like to use a photograph from our gallery please contact us first and ask permission.


Access to Password Protected Areas

Access to, and use of, password protected areas of the Site is restricted to authorized users only.  Unauthorized individuals attempting to access these areas of the Site may be blocked from all future access to the entire site.

Links to External Sites
