COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

The only personal identifiable information about visitors to this Site collected electronically on this Site and maintained by Mirage is a visitor's name and e-mail address. This limited personal information is only collected if a visitor voluntarily provides such personal information in connection with the Site's Art Contest, Fan Mail and Fan Forum pages, Classified Ad submissions and Merchandise Orders. Any other information submitted electronically by a visitor is submitted voluntarily and is not maintained by Mirage. Other personal information like addresses, telephone and fax numbers and credit card information is obtained only by mail or over the telephone, and only in relation to Art Contest and Merchandise Order submissions. This information is not maintained electronically by Mirage. This Site does not employ "cookies" to obtain information about any visitor. In addition, Mirage does not use any visitor information for marketing, mass mailing or solicitation purposes of any kind. Mirage will only use personal information collected from a visitor to respond to a specific question or request from the visitor, such as responding to a Fan e-mail question. Finally, Mirage does not share, in any way, any visitor personal identifiable information with any third parties.

COLLECTION OF NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

When visitors come to the Site, Mirage collects and aggregates certain non-personally identifiable information indicating, among other things, which web pages were visited, the order in which they were visited, the length of the visit, and which links, if any, were "clicked" by the visitor. Collecting such non-personally identifiable information may involve the logging of IP addresses, operating system, type of browser and Internet service provider used by each visitor. Although such information is not personally identifiable, it can be used to determine the IP address of the visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of the point of connectivity to the Internet. Mirage uses this non-personally identifiable information in order to improve the Site. By tracking how many people visit the Site and where visitors go on the Site, we are able to continually improve the Site for our visitor's enjoyment. Mirage may also disclose some of the non-personally identifiable information obtained to advertisers to inform them of how many people have seen or linked to their advertisements on the Site. However, we will never disclose personally identifiable information to these advertisers without proper consent, including parental consent for visitors under age 13. LINKS Mirage has established relationships with advertisers and business partners that allow visitors to the Site to link directly to sites operated by these advertisers and business partners. Any such linked sites are not owned, operated or maintained by Mirage. These linked sites may collect personal information from visitors for their own purposes under their own policies and procedures. You should refer to the Privacy Policy at such linked sites for information about their privacy policies and procedures. Mirage does not obtain any personal information from advertisers or business partners regarding visitors to their sites.

Mirage tries to choose its advertisers and business partners carefully. However, Mirage is not responsible for the content or practices of sites operated by third parties that are linked to the Site. These links are meant for visitor's convenience only. Links to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by Mirage.
