TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The information we gather falls into two
categories: (1) information (for example, your name and address)
that you voluntarily supply when you register or initiate
transactions, and (2) information gathered on usage patterns and
preferences as visitors navigate through our sites, use our
services such as free email, or read our email newsletters. In
some cases, it its an agent or affiliate of ours that collects the
information on our behalf. Third party providers featured on or
linked to by our site, such as vendors of products and services
offered through our site, may be gathering the same kinds of
information.
Registration Information.
To make use of certain features on our site (such as to receive
email newsletters, or post a classified ad) visitors need to
register and to provide certain information as part of the
registration process. We may also ask for information from those
who buy products or services or conduct other transactions on our
site. (We may ask, for example, for your name, email address, sex,
age, zip code or credit card number, and we might request
information on your interest in sports, personal finance, the
performing arts, and the like.) The information you supply will
help us to offer you more personalized features, to tailor our
site to your interests and make them more useful to you, and to
process e-commerce transactions.
The more you tell us about yourself, the more
value we can offer you. Supplying such information is entirely
voluntary. But if you don’t supply the information we need, we may
be unable to provide you with services we make available to other
visitors to our site. And we cant send you email alerting you to
a new service were offering, or breaking news that may interest
you if you don’t tell us what youre interested in and give us
your email address. Please see the "Shopping" section
below to learn more about purchasing products or services on our
site.
Cookies. To help make
our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we use a
standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of user ID,
if you will, that resides on your computer. The cookie doesnt
actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor
uses to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself
(through registration, for example), we wont know who you are,
even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A
cookie cant read unrelated data off your hard drive. Our
advertisers and the third parties that provide products or
services through our site may also assign their own cookies to
your browser, a process that we don’t control.
We use cookies to help us tailor our site to
your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service. For
example, we use cookies to avoid showing you the same ad,
repeatedly, during a single visit. In addition, we may use cookies
to track the pages on our site visited by our users. We can build
a better site if we know which pages our users are visiting and
how often. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept
cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of
the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our site.
Other Methods of Collecting Information.
Our web pages may contain electronic images (called "single-pixel GIFs" or "web beacons") that
allow us and our vendors to count users who have visited
particular pages or to access certain cookies. We may use these
tools and other technologies to recognize which pages users visit,
and which links they click on. These features may also be included
in our email newsletters so that we can learn which messages have
been opened and acted upon. We may also be able to verify your
online purchases from us or from third party sites that have
agreed to share such information with us.
Browser Level Information and IP Addresses.
Our web servers automatically collect limited information about
your computer configuration when you visit our site, including the
type of browser software you use, the operating system youre
running, the resolution of your computer monitor, the website that
referred you, and your IP address. (Your IP address is a numerical
address that is used by computers connected to the Internet to
identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages you
want to view) can be transmitted to you. We also use IP address
information for systems administration and trouble shooting
purposes. Your IP address does not tell us who you are.) We use
this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to
tailor our site to the interests of our users, and to measure
traffic within our site.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Why we want to know. As
with any business, its important for us to know our customers --
their needs, their likes, what they want and expect from us.
Unlike most businesses, however, we deliver a valuable product to
our customers without asking for anything in return. Its like
prime-time television, only better for you! Since we make most of
this site available without charge to you, we rely heavily on
advertisers to produce the income necessary to operate our site.
Advertisers are like most people: They expect something in return
for the money they spend. They want to know how many people will
see their ad and how often -- in other words, how effective their
ad is likely to be. So its important that we be able to tell
advertisers who our audience is.
Advertisers. Without
your permission, we will not share the personally-identifiable
information you provide when registering on our site with
advertisers. We will, however, take the information you provide
and aggregate it with data from all the other people that use this
site and associated services. Then we will use that pool of
information to inform our advertisers about our audience without
identifying you personally. For example, well be able to say to
an advertiser: "We have 3,470 readers in this ZIP code," which happens to be your location.
Vendors and Service Providers.
To make our sites more valuable to our visitors, we may offer some
features in conjunction with other providers ("Provider
Partners"). Our chat, email newsletters, email services and
online classifieds for example, may be made available through
cooperative arrangements with providers that specialize in
operating such services. In some instances, our Provider Partners
will have the same access to your information as we do. Their use
of the information will be subject to the terms of their
respective privacy policies, which you can find on their websites.
Statistical Information.
Much of the information we collect is in the form of aggregated
statistics, such as the traffic that visits various pages within
our sites, and the habits and preferences of our audience. Such
aggregated information does not include any information that would
identify you personally. We may use such aggregated information
and disclose it to third parties as we see fit.
Sites to Which We Link.
Of course, our site includes links to plenty of other websites,
and provides access to products and services offered by third
parties, whose privacy policies we don’t control. When you access
another site or purchase products or services or conduct other
transactions through our sites, use of any information you provide
is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site
youre visiting or the provider of such products or services.
Other Disclosures. We
may occasionally release information about our visitors when
release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor
Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of
visitors to our sites, the public, our customers, or our company
and its employees, agents, partners and affiliates. As our
business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely
event that our company, or the bulk of our assets relating to this
site, is acquired by another company, information on our visitors
would be among the transferred assets.

SHOPPING
When you are ready to make a purchase on our
site, we will ask you to provide us with certain information,
including your contact details (such as your name, address,
telephone and email), and your billing information (such as your
credit card number and the date that your card expires). We may
also ask you to provide additional information such as unique
identifiers (such as your date of birth), and registration
information (login name and password). You will be able to review,
update, or delete the information you have provided us (except, of
course any information that we do not store) at any time by
accessing your account on our site.
We will use the information you provide us to
process your transaction and to contact you regarding your
purchase if necessary. We will not sell or rent your
personal billing information to any third party.
Back to top
STORAGE OF INFORMATION.
All information gathered on our site is stored
within a database operated by us or by a contractor on our behalf.
Sensitive information, such as your password is encrypted for
storage. For e-commerce transactions, in certain instances we may
transmit your billing information using encryption. Encryption
scrambles your credit card number and personal information.
However, as effective as encryption technology is, no security
system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our
database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply wont
be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
A final note: The Web is an evolving medium. If
we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the future,
we’ll post the changes before they take effect.
