Journal Site Policies
I. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
This Site has relationships with other companies that we allow
to place ads and links on our Web pages. As a result of your
visit to This Site, ad server companies may collect information
such as your domain type, your IP address, and clickstream
information.
Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are
moving from This Site to another Web site. We encourage you to
read the site terms and privacy statements of these linked sites
as their site terms and privacy policies may differ from ours.
II. ORDERS
If you purchase a product from one of the companies This Site
represents, they will request certain personally identifiable
information from you on their order form. You must provide
contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address)
and financial information (such as credit card number,
expiration date). This Site is not responsible for the site
terms or privacy policies of such other sites so review their
site terms and privacy policy before completing your order.
CONSUMER PRIVACY
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT: INDIVIDUAL INTERNET CONSUMERS
A. Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Under no circumstances does This Site request or collect
sensitive PII such as an Internet user's medical/health
conditions; racial or ethnic origin; political, religious or
philosophical beliefs or affiliations; trade union membership or
sex life.
B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII).
When a consumer responds to or views an Internet advertisement
served by This Site (such as through third-party Web sites or
email solicitation) or visits an advertiser's web site, we send
a cookie and/or gif file ("Cookies") to assign an anonymous,
unique identifier to the end user's Internet browser. Cookies
are small data files commonly used on the Internet to help
optimize and personalize the Internet end user experience and
identify repeat visitors to Web sites.
This Site uses Cookies to obtain information about the
preferences of consumers and the services they select; and also
to optimize and personalize the Internet user's experience. If
the Internet user re-visits the advertiser's site directly, This
Site is able to continue to track the user's activities.
Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files to collect
Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and
date/time stamp. We use the information to analyze site usage,
administer the site, understand usage and navigation trends in
aggregate, and determine the relevance of content. This
information, however, is not linked to any personally
identifiable information.
We also may use Internet browsing and online purchase data
associated with an anonymous identifier to develop a predictive
statistical user profile of the end user's needs and interests.
This Site does not use Cookies or log files to collect end
users' names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone
numbers, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or any
other information which can be used to identify a specific
person. We may match the IP address and user profile with email
address data obtained separately in order to better target
campaigns to meet user's interests, but will not share this
information with third parties.
This Site has relationships with other companies that we allow
to place ads and links on our Web pages. Please note that when
you click on one of these links, you are moving to another web
site. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these
linked sites as their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Some of these other companies may use marketing technology that
allows advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic
information, such as age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the
non-identifiable profile data. Thus, there is no direct
connection between an end user's online choices and his or her
personal identity.
In some cases, This Site receives and records partial email
addresses of Internet users, only in circumstances where the
user voluntarily provided its identity and contact information
through the Advertiser's site or third-party marketer's site.
This partial email address does not enable This Site to
personally identify an Internet User nor is it shared, sold,
rented, or given away.
II. INFORMATION SHARING
This Site may release account and any other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena
or otherwise comply with the law; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of This Site or others. This may include
exchanging information with other companies and organizations
for fraud protection.
III. CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS
A. Opting Out.
Some Cookies have an "opt-out" option. This process does not
remove This Site's Cookie from your system; it simply replaces
it with an opt-out Cookie that does not contain any unique
identifiers. If this site provides such a process it is detailed
below.
Some of This Site's Cookies do not have an "opt-out" option, yet
you still have the option of blocking the use of Cookies by
changing a setting in your Internet browser. Please see your
browser supplier's Web site for details on how to do this.
This site does not maintain a process for an individual consumer
to opt-out of This Site's Cookies.
B. Accessing Consumer Information.
Because they are not directed towards individual Internet users,
most sites do not maintain a process for an individual consumer
to review and/or request changes to any PII collected.
Except as provided below, this site does not maintain a process
for an individual consumer to access his/her PII.
IV. SECURITY
This Site employs industry standard security measures to ensure
the security of all data. Any data that is stored on This Site's
servers is treated as proprietary and confidential and is not
available to the public. This Site allows access to this data
only to those employees or third parties who have a need to know
such information for the purpose of effectively delivering This
Site's products and services by means of user login and password
requirements.
No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be
completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not
under the control of This Site to intercept or access
transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we
strive to protect your PII, This Site cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to us. You
acknowledge and assume this risk when communicating with This
Site.
V. CONSENT AND CHANGES
This Site may find it necessary or be legally obligated to
update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we
will post those changes on this page and update the effective
date so that you are always aware of the information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
Except as otherwise required by law, modifications to this
Privacy Policy will not affect the privacy of data collected by
This Site prior to the effective date of the policy change.
VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR
The European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These
rules differ significantly from US laws. To reconcile these
differences, the US and the EU have created a Safe Harbor that
defines mutually acceptable privacy operations. This Site
adheres to the Safe Harbor principals. For more information see
www.export.gov/safeharbor.
VIII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THIRD PARTY INFORMATION &
