This Privacy Policy Covers
This privacy policy covers the website and activities of Publisher. Other advertisers and publishers have digital sites linked to from this website or from their ads that have their own privacy statements which can be viewed on those corporate sites. Please be aware that Publisher sponsors, advertisers and partners or affiliates with co-branded modules or sections on Publisher may collect personally identifiable information about you while on our website, the information practices of those parties are not covered by this privacy statement. We encourage Publisher users and users of sites that the Publisher works with to be aware and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by us. Publisher users and users of sites that the Publisher works with should also be aware that, when you voluntarily disclose personal information in chat areas or bulletin boards, that information may be collected by others and may result in unsolicited messages from others. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.
Gathering of Information and Voluntary Submission
Publisher does not collect personally identifying information about any individual Publisher website user except when knowingly provided by such individual. For example, we may ask you for information, such as your e-mail address when you register to become a member of Publisher. You may also provide information to Publisher in other contexts, including, for example, on your member profile page and public profile URL or to enter into a sweepstakes or promotion. In the event you order something from Publisher or one of our co-branded websites, we may request additional personal information, such as your address, telephone number and credit card information, in order to complete the purchase. We also supplement the data you provide to us with data from data append services. You always have the option not to provide the information we request. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of the Publisher’s website, but you may be unable to access certain options and services. When you register or become a member of Publisher or provide information to Publisher in any other manner, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current and complete information. Notwithstanding any other provision, we may also engage a data provider who may collect web log data from you (including IP address and information about your browser or operating system), or place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information. The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., your email address, that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form. To opt-out of these data provider cookies, users please go to http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service. In some instances these companies may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the external service provider. In all cases, these companies are subject to agreements that require them to maintain the confidentiality of your information and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
