When a visitor requests a page from this web site, our web servers automatically record that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address of the computer from which you have accessed our site.

Our web servers do not record e-mail addresses of visitors except in such cases where the user has provided them in order to utilize the services of the site.

From time to time, TrumpetHerald.com or its advertisers may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive.

Public Forum

The Forum and other sections of TrumpetHerald.com are public places. As such, you may occasionally encounter individuals whose manner of expression, ideas, language, or general demeanor you find unpleasant. Engaging in prolonged arguments of a personal nature with such individuals is strongly discouraged, is not part of the intended mission of the Forum, and can lead to account revocation. When and if such conflicts arise, they will be moved to an appropriate section of the site and out of trumpet-related areas.

Information on this site provided by third parties should be verified for veracity independently of this web site. The user is warned not to blindly trust information posted by third parties and undertake independent means of verification.
