EMBEDDED ADVERTISEMENTS AND SEARCH RESULT ADVERTISEMENTS We use third-party advertising companies (Google) to serve ads when you visit our websites. These companies may use information (NOT including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here. From Google, we have the following information...
CONTENT ACCESSIBLE THROUGH LINKS FROM RADER SITES AND SEARCH RESULTS You should be aware that when you are on a RADER Site, there are links to other sites that take you outside of our service to sites that are beyond our control, such as Google banner advertisements and links from Google advertisers, sponsors and content partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding relationship. You acknowledge that when you click on any of the aforementioned links, the sites you are taken to are NOT controlled by us; different terms of use and privacy policy may apply, and we are not responsible for such sites. We do not endorse and cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that you purchase from a third-party site that links to or from any RADER Site or third-party Content contained on our sites. We strongly encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any third parties. Nor can we be held responsible for the accuracy, relevance, legality or decency of material contained on sites retrieved in searches and/or listed in search results or identified on search results pages. RADER USES GOOGLE ANALYTICS TO IMPROVE OUR CONTENT OFFERINGS Rader is a participant in the Google Analytics Program to help understand how visitors use the Rader sites. You acknowledge that association through the viewing of any Rader web pages. Google Analytics (like the Google AdSense service) uses “cookies”, which are small text files placed on your computer. These cookies collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. There is NO personally identifyable information collected about any users of the site. The collected data is transmitted to and stored by Google, NOT Rader. The information is used to generate statistical reports on webtie activity and usage. The results are used to help redesign site functionality, develop new content, and assist in site promotions for the Rader sites. Both the use of AdSense and Analytics allows the sites to remain free for use. The service is used to track such items as page views, length of time on pages, and visit pathways and use. Different terms of use and privacy policy will apply and we are not responsible for the future use of data that is collected by Google. Once again, as with Google advertisers and search results, we do NOT collect any personal information nor do we have access to any personal information such as usernames, passwords, or credit card information. External sites may collect usage information to assist in content delivery. If there are problems with the service of information collection techniques, you must contact Google. Again, RADER COLLECTS NO PERSONAL DATA and we have no access to transactions or personal data collected by any external sites. Rader additionally uses Google Analytics to collect information through the Google Analytics Advertising features.

It is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by RADER's professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, we ask that you do not send us any original creative materials such as stories or character ideas, screenplays, or original artwork. While we do value your feedback on our services and products, we request that you be specific in your comments on those services and products, and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or materials. If at our request you send certain specific submissions (e.g., postings or contests) or, despite our request that you not send us any other creative materials, you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other information (collectively, the "Submissions"), the Submissions shall be deemed, and shall remain, the property of RADER. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of RADER, and RADER shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any of those Submissions.

Our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider Unsolicited Submissions so please do not Distribute Unsolicited Submissions on or through any RADER Sites.
