Publisher reserves the right to change this Privacy Statement at any time by notifying visitors to this website of the existence of a new Privacy Statement.

What Personal Information Is Collected From You

We do not collect personal information about you unless you specifically and knowingly provide such information to us. Instances where we may collect such information include:

  • where you have entered one of our contest promotions;
  • where you have subscribed to our newsletter; or
  • where you have disclosed personally identifiable information on blogs, bulletin boards, forums, e-mail, and feedback forms, or in the chat areas of our website.

We endeavor only to collect personal information necessary to the circumstances. In the above-mentioned instances, personal information collected may include your name, address, phone number, birth date, and e-mail address.

Collection of Information Through Username/Password System

Some parts of the Publisher websites will ask you to provide us with the above-mentioned personal information along with a username and password. This username and password allows you to participate in certain online activities such as contests, promotions or online content and functionality. When it is necessary to contact you in connection with a particular online activity, this username and password is cross-referenced against the personal information you provided when you initially registered for the username and password.

How Your Personal Information Is Used by Publisher

Personal Information is only used by the Publisher for the purposes stated at the time of collection or as otherwise set out in this section.

If you have participated in an online activity, your personal information will only be used for the purposes of that online activity, unless you otherwise provide us with your consent. We may ask for your permission to use your personal information for other purposes; for example, to send you an e-mail newsletter or for marketing purposes. We will only use this information for these purposes if you have provided us with consent by "opting-in" during the user registration process.

If you have entered and won one of our contests, your name, likeness, and city of residence may be published by us and/or our sponsors. Please check with specific contest rules for details.

Non-personal aggregate information may also be extracted or compiled from the information we collect. Such information may be used to generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use by the Publisher and its affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, successors, assigns, suppliers, and advertisers. In this instance, these statistics and reports will contain only aggregated and no personally- identifiable information. Your identity is kept strictly anonymous.

When you voluntarily disclose information on the blogs, bulletin boards or in the forum and chat areas of our web sites, your personal and other information disclosed in your communication shall become public information and can be collected and used by outside parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Publisher.

What "Cookies" Are and How They Are Used

"Cookies" are simple text files that web browsers place on computer hard drives when sites are visited. Cookies cannot damage files, nor can they read information from a user's hard drive. The cookie, by itself, doesn't tell us your e-mail address or who you are. When you participate in our activities, we do not store any personal information within cookies, nor do we link or combine information collected through cookies to any personal information submitted online. Publisher uses cookies to help us measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, and other statistics relating to use of our sites. As a convenience for users, Publisher also uses cookies to remember non-personally identifiable user-names so that the need for multiple log-ins is eliminated.

Please note certain features on our sites may not function if you do not accept cookies.

Log data collected on web servers supplies Publisher with aggregate information on the number of visits to different pages on our site. Publisher uses such aggregate information to improve access to content based on visitors' browsers and operating system types to make our content available to as many visitors as possible. We do not link the log data collected to any personal information submitted online.
