Use of Information
HinFeiPoon.com uses any information voluntarily given by my users to enhance their experience in my network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of my users.
As stated above, I use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in poll, surveys, message boards, and forums. I send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when I think subscribers might be particularly interested in something I am doing. HinFeiPoon.com never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third party, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When I use tracking information to determine which areas of my sites users like and don’t like based on traffic to those areas. I do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps me to continue to build a better service for you. I track search terms entered in Search function as one of the many measures of what interests my users. But I don’t track which terms a particular user enters.
HinFeiPoon.com creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allow my advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows my users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because I don’t track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or sponsors will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. I will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of my users or the public.

This is essential to keeping my service free. I will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of my users or the public.
Opt-Out Policy
I give users options whenever necessary and practical. Such choices include: Opting not to register to receive my electronic newsletters and Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from my users.
