1. Introduction

2. Visitor Information
During the course of any visit to http://www.hiphopera.net/, the pages you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. Many web sites do this, because cookies enable web site publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the web site before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better
online user experience and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors.
For example: if on a previous visit you went to our services pages,
we might find this out from your cookie and highlight service information on
your second and subsequent visits.

3. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web site's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
Many sites do this whenever a user visits their web site in order to track online traffic flows.
Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the http://www.hiphopera.net/ features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse http://www.hiphopera.net/
anonymously until such time as you wish to register for http://www.hiphopera.net/ services.

4. Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to http://www.hiphopera.net/ (e.g. http://www.hiphopera.net/ membership) we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use those data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.
In general, any information you provide to H2O Entertainment will only be used within H2O Entertainment and by its agents and service providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to http://www.hiphopera.net/ or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on http://www.hiphopera.net/, H2O Entertainment can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of http://www.hiphopera.net/ membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a http://www.hiphopera.net/ member. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
If you are notified on a http://www.hiphopera.net/ site that your information may be used
to allow H2O Entertainment to contact you for "service administration purposes",
this means that H2O Entertainment may contact you for a number of purposes related to the
service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you with
password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been
suspended for maintenance. We will not contact you for promotional purposes,
such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new services on http://www.hiphopera.net/
unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you
submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically
to receive such promotional information.
