Personal Information

Certain information is only personal information when it is linked to other information, such as your name. For example, your birth date and gender are only personal information when associated with you. To become a member of one of our Sites or to access certain of our services, such as contests, you may be required to provide personal information such as your name, home and email addresses, birth date and gender. Similar information may also be required to participate in other online activities, special events, contests, sweepstakes or Interactive Areas. "Interactive Areas" include, when offered, chat rooms, bulletin boards, message boards, article or blog comment areas, reader photo upload, reader ratings and reviews, saving favorite restaurants or fashion looks, SMS text messaging and mobile alerts.

Posting Reviews or Comments and Use of Interactive Areas

We collect information when you submit it for posting on our Sites. Any communication you submit or that may be posted to any publicly viewable area of our Sites, such as a comment on a blog posting or a review, is a public communication and may be viewed by the general public. Therefore, you acknowledge and understand that you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in the content you submit to such services over our Sites, whether or not it includes personal information. If you display your personal information in any communication submitted to such services or features, other individuals may collect and use your personal information. The Sites are not responsible for, nor can we guarantee the protection of, any personal information you disclose in a communication submitted to such services or features for posting or contained in an email or other communication submitted to us for such posting, and thus, you acknowledge that if you disclose personal information in any such material, you do so at your own risk.

Use of Personal Information

We may also survey visitors about various topics, including local events and experiences, media consumption preferences and how we can improve our Sites and services. Response to our surveys is entirely voluntary. The Sites or our operational providers may enhance or merge the information we collect with other data collected from other sources, such as demographic data including age and gender, to enhance our marketing activities.

We may produce contests, sweepstakes and special events with the support of promotional partners. Personal information collected by our Sites in conjunction with such events may also be used for the marketing of additional services and events by the Sites and/or their promotional partners.

For your convenience, we may provide the opportunity to purchase certain goods, merchandise and services through the Sites (including, without limitation, print and digital magazine subscriptions and special events). Companies other than eNews Magazine process these transactions. We may also use outside companies to provide or operate Interactive Areas. We call these companies that conduct our e-commerce operations, order and contest fulfillment and/or contract services "operational providers." They are third parties that perform services on our behalf. If you choose to use these optional services, our operational providers will request certain personal information in order to fulfill your order or request. The voluntary submission of your personal information to these operational providers, including your order or request, will be governed by the specific provider's terms of use and privacy policies. We will store this information in our membership database. We may also share personal information with operational providers for the purpose of facilitating your experience on our Sites, for example, to allow you to register, log in, post a comment or receive an email newsletter. We also request that these providers only use the personal information for the purpose of conducting the sale or fulfilling the requested service or order. However, the Sites are not responsible for the collection, use and disclosure practices of operational providers.

Who Do We Share Your Personal Information With?

Sharing of Information with Partners

We may collect and provide aggregate information about our visitors to our advertisers, sponsors, promotional partners and affiliates, such as how many persons visited a particular page or activity, the average age of our visitors on the site or page, or the likes and dislikes of our visitors, but this information does not include personal information about any individual visitor. We may obtain geographic information such as zip code clustering from other sources, but this aggregate information will not reveal any personal information about a specific visitor. We may also obtain other demographic information from third parties for marketing purposes or to display more relevant advertising.

Online advertising for the Sites is delivered by third-party advertising companies. These companies create networks of websites to facilitate the delivery of ads and conduct market research on our Sites and other sites. These companies place cookies on your hard drive so that their systems can identify your computer. By placing such cookies on your system, they are able, among other things, to determine automatically whether you have seen a particular advertisement before and avoid sending you duplicate advertisements. These cookies also enable the companies to serve you ads tailored to things you have shown interest in based on the Sites and other sites you have visited. For example, if you frequently read movie reviews, you may see ads relating to upcoming movie openings. Online advertising companies generally conduct this activity in an anonymous format, with online information not combined with information that would allow for your identification, such as a name, address or email address.

The third-party companies that currently serve advertisements or provide ad targeting data on the Sites include, but are not limited to Zinio©, DoubleClick©, Google©, Blue Kai© and TargusInfo©. If you would like more information about the collection, use and disclosure practices of these third party advertising companies and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click on the company names above and follow the links to the company websites.

The Sites’ third party advertising company partners typically belong and/or conform to the standards and principles of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). The NAI allows you to opt-out of the cookies used to tailor advertisements to you through the NAI website. If you would like to opt-out of the storage of anonymous information used by our third party advertising company partners, visit www.nai.org. The NAI opt-out tool is cookie based. In order for it to work on your computer, your browser must be set to accept third party cookies.

The Sites may in the future share personal information with our parents, partners, and affiliates to conduct joint activities.

When you send us an email, we will reasonably safeguard your email address and other personal contact information. However, we may disclose the content of your email to other persons in accordance with our Terms of Use Agreement.
