We may also request demographic information. In some instances, we may direct you to a third party vendor site to collect this information from you directly.

Please reference the privacy policies available from these pages for any privacy related concerns. We and/or our vendors will use this information to complete the financial or other transaction that you have requested, i.e. to deliver the information or products that you request or purchase and to collect funds or invoice you.

Your decision to register is voluntary and you will have the opportunity to decide whether or not to disclose information to us and what communications you would like to receive. However, please be advised that there may be offerings on our websites which require registration and if you elect not to provide such information, you will not be able to take advantage of those offerings.

Contests or Sweepstakes. We may periodically offer contests and sweepstakes through our websites that will require registration or the submission of personal information. Your personally identifiable information would be used to contact you for winner notification, prize delivery confirmation or other related purposes (see the rules of the specific contest for details).

Surveys or Voting. From time-to-time, we may request personally identifiable information from you in conjunction with a survey or voting poll. Participation is voluntary, and you will have the opportunity to decide whether or not to disclose information.

Browser Cookies. As with many websites, our websites use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a collection of information that gets stored on the hard drive of your computer when browsing the Internet. These small bits of code automatically identify your browser to the website whenever your computer is used to visit the website. Cookies also let us know how many people visit the website and where visitors go on the website, as well as non-personally identifiable information, like how many times or how long a user has been on certain pages. For registered users, cookies can make using a website easier for you by saving information such as your passwords or preferences. By tracking how and when you use the website, cookies help us determine which areas are popular and which are not. Improvements and updates to our websites may be based on data obtained from cookies. Accepting cookies allows you, among other things, to personalize your experience on the website. Cookies may also allow the website to present to you advertising which may be of interest to you. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, your browser should contain an option that allows you to disable or delete cookie data at any time. Note that even if you disable or delete cookies related to our websites, we may still be able to recognize users by cross-referencing other data we collected. Some areas of our websites, however, may not provide you with a personalized experience if you have disabled the use of cookies.

Flash Cookies/Local Shared Objects (LSOs). We may use local shared objects, also known as Flash cookies, to store your preferences such as volume control or display content based upon what you view on our site to personalize your visit. Third parties, with whom we may partner to provide certain features on our site or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity, use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored and of how the data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn more about and how to manage settings for Flash cookies, you can visit adobe.com. Disabling cookies may affect features or functionality of the website.

Web Beacons and Other Tracking Technology. Our websites may use a variety of technical methods for tracking purposes, including Web Beacons. Web Beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites. We also may use these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns on our websites, such as the frequency with which users visit various parts of the website. These technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. We also may use these technical methods in HTML emails that we send to determine whether the recipients have opened those emails and/or clicked on links in those emails. The information from use of these technical methods may be collected in a form that is personally identifiable.Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “do not track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to digital services that a visitor does not want to have online activity tracked. If a digital service that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that digital service from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, we and many other digital service operators may not respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

IP Addresses and Click-Stream Data. We may collect IP addresses and/or click-stream data. An IP address is a number associated with the service through which you access the Internet, like your ISP (Internet service provider), your company or your employer. Standing alone, your IP address is not generally personally identifiable. At times, we also use IP addresses for purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our affiliates or partners, for example regarding the frequency with which guests visit various parts of our websites. We may combine this information with personally identifiable information we obtain from you directly on our websites, or from third parties.Click-stream data is information collected by our computers when you request pages from a website. Click-stream data may include such information as the page served, the time, the source of the request, the type of browser making the request, the preceding page view and other such non-personal information. When analyzed, this data helps us analyze how visitors arrive at the website, what type of content is most popular, and what type of visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of content and advertising.

Our websites may contain links to third-party websites. These linked websites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the contents of any such linked website or any link contained in any linked website.

How We May Share Your Information

Our disclosure of your personal information is limited to circumstances in which we are permitted to do so under applicable law. We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

At times, as described below, your personal information may be shared with others for various purposes:

Affiliates. We may share information with our affiliates and other related parties for cross-marketing and other purposes.

Agents. We employ other businesses and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include preparing and sending email relating to our business, providing marketing assistance, fulfilling orders, website analysis, analyzing data, processing credit card payments, providing customer service and storing data or information on third party servers. These businesses or individuals may have access to personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions. Their use will be subject to their privacy policies and our agreements with them.

Interest Based Advertising and IP Targeting. We may work with data providers to serve advertising to you through display media or other methods. These providers may use personal information that we have collected or that you have provided to locate you online, such as when you visit or log into websites or mobile applications. This information may be linked to online identifiers or IP addresses assigned to you, and to demographic or interest-based data, in order to target you with relevant advertising, including about our products. To learn more about or opt out of this and other interest-based advertising, please visit the industry opt-out pages operated by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), at http://www.aboutads.info and by the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://networkadvertising.org.

The opt-outs for interest-based advertising require that strictly necessary cookies are not blocked by the settings in your web browser. We support the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising of the Digital Advertising Alliance in the U.S., the Canadian Digital Advertising Alliance in Canada, and the European Digital Advertising Alliance in the EU. If you live in the United States, Canada or the European Union, you can visit Ad Choices (US), Your Ad Choices (Canada) or Your Online Choices (EU) to find a convenient place to opt-out of interest-based advertising with participating entities for each region. These websites also provide detailed information about how interest-based advertising works. Opting out does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising from us, or when you use the internet. It just means that the data collected from our websites will not be used for interest-based advertising and that the advertising you see displayed on websites will not be customized to your interests.

Aggregate Information. We may share aggregate information, such as demographics and website usage statistics, with advertisers, sponsors or other organizations. When this type of information is shared, the other parties do not have access to your personally identifiable information.

Opt-in to Receive Third Party Offers. At some point, you may be presented with opportunities to receive information and/or marketing offers sent from third party(ies) through our websites. Opt-in opportunities will ask you if you would like your personally identifiable information to be shared with such third party(ies) as necessary to receive such information or marketing offers. If you do not elect to “opt-in” to having your personally identifiable information shared, your personally identifiable information will not be shared with such third party(ies) (information will still be shared with our agents and persons providing services to us as described above). If you do choose to have your personally identifiable information shared, your personally identifiable information will be transferred to such third party(ies) solely for the purpose of permitting such third party(ies) to provide you with such information and marketing offers. Please be advised that if you elect to provide your personally identifiable information in response to such third party(ies) marketing offers or otherwise, all information you disclose to such third party(ies) will be subject to the privacy policy and practices of such third party(ies). We are not responsible for the privacy practices and policies of such third party(ies) and, therefore, you should review the privacy practices and policies of such third party(ies) prior to providing your personally identifiable information to such third party(ies).

Products or Services Offered in Partnership with Third-Party(ies). Certain products available on the website may be provided to you in partnership with third party(ies) and may require you to disclose personally identifiable information in order to register for and access such products. Such products will identify the third party partners at the point of registration. If you elect to register for such products your personally identifiable information will be transferred to such third party(ies) and will be subject to the privacy policy and practices of such third party(ies). We are not responsible for the privacy practices and policies of such third party(ies) and, therefore, you should review the privacy practices and policies of such third party(ies) prior to providing your personally identifiable information in connection with such products.

Third-Party Ad Serving and Audience and Traffic Measurement Services. We may use a third-party network advertiser to serve the advertisements on our websites or may use a traffic measurement service to analyze the traffic on our websites. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to this website and other websites you have visited. Third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products or websites in which you might have an interest. Audience and traffic measurement services allow us to collect anonymous traffic and behavior information from the website by monitoring anonymous visitor activity. Such advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their cookies on your computer if you choose to have your cookies enabled in your browser. Cookies allow third-party advertisers to show you advertisements or content. Note that any images (or any other parts of a web page) served by third parties in association with third-party cookies may serve as Web Beacons, which enable third parties to carry out the previously described activities. Other companies’ uses of their cookies are subject to their own privacy policies, not this one.

Business Transfers. In the event that some or all of our assets or business are sold or transferred to another party, or another transaction occurs in which your personally identifiable information is one of the assets sold or transferred, all personally identifiable information that has been collected and saved, to the extent allowed to be transferred by law, may be one of the assets we transfer. There will be a notice provided on our website or otherwise if such a transfer occurs. Your personally identifiable information may also be reviewed in connection with negotiations for a possible merger or consolidation or sale or transfer of assets by us.
