In addition, the following describes our privacy practices that are specific to Step-by-Step Guides.

Personal information

• You need a Step-by-Step Guides Account to create an iStep-by-Step Guides homepage that is accessible from any Internet-connected computer. Step-by-Step Guides asks for some personal information when you create a Step-by-Step Guides Account, including your email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access. A Step-by-Step Guides Account allows you to access many of our services that require registration.
• You may also create an iStep-by-Step Guides homepage that is accessible only from your computer, with preference settings stored in a cookie.
• You may choose to submit additional information in order to personalize your homepage (such as a zip code to customize your weather forecast).
• When you use iStep-by-Step Guides, Step-by-Step Guides's servers automatically record log information which may include information about your preference settings.

Uses

• Step-by-Step Guides maintains and processes personal information in order to provide your personalized homepage and other services. This information will be stored in a cookie on your machine and sent to Step-by-Step Guides when you request the page if you have set up a page without an associated Step-by-Step Guides Account, or transmitted to Step-by-Step Guides's servers and securely stored in association with your Step-by-Step Guides Account information if you are signed in to your Step-by-Step Guides Account.

Use of your information by these third parties is not governed by this Privacy Policy. Gadgets and Themes made by Step-by-Step Guides are labeled with a "By Step-by-Step Guides" logo in the gadget directory.
