If you just want to browse the Site, registration is optional. In the future, you may have the opportunity to register on this Site in order to use certain of the Site’s future online services and functions, such as our portal, any blogs, and similar functions.

During that registration, you may be required to provide contact information, includingbut not limited to an email address, username and password.

You can select any username you want, except that your username cannot be an impersonation, the same or confusingly similar to a famous trademark, or be a term that is offensive in any way. You may, but are not obligated to, use your own name. If you do use your own name, you consent to it being passed to others by use of the functions of the Site.

Release of Information for Legal Reasons

SouthSuite may release information concerning your use of SouthSuite (including, but not limited to, posted Public Content, registration information, and network records) when it believes in good faith that such release is appropriate to comply with the law (for example, pursuant to a statutory demand, subpoena, warrant or court order), to protect against fraudulent, abusive or unlawful use of SouthSuite's rights or property, enforce any contract between you and SouthSuite or if SouthSuite reasonably believes that a situation involving danger of death or injury to any person requires disclosure.

Changes in This Privacy Policy

If SouthSuite decides to change its privacy policy, SouthSuite will post those changes on SouthSuite's Site so that SouthSuit's users can remain aware of what information SouthSuite collects, how SouthSuite uses it, and under what circumstances, if any, SouthSuite discloses it.

Your California Privacy Rights

Residents of the State of California, under the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the Company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes and a disclosure of the shared information. Alternatively, the law provides that if a company has a privacy policy that provides you with an "opt-out" choice for use of your personal information by third parties for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

This Site qualifies for the alternative option. Its privacy policy provides you with information on how you may opt-out from the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information during the preceding year for marketing purposes.

If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, send a request to info@etherdrive.com.
