| CK Media respects
your privacy, and is committed to providing a safe online experience
for our users. Since we request personal information for many of
our online features, this policy summarizes the types of information
we will collect and how it will be used.
While you are free to visit our websites, read selected articles,
and use selected features without providing any personal information,
we may collect information such as your name and email address as
you register on one of our sites or sign up for one of our newsletters.
This information is voluntarily supplied, but may be required to
participate in our message boards or to take advantage of special
offers.
We may also collect general information such as type of browser
you use, your IP address, the files you request, the domain name
you use, etc. This information is used to improve our website and
better meet the needs of our viewers. Some of our web pages may
contain "cookies," which are sent to your computer to
store data. This allows our servers to "recognize" you
when you visit our sites in the future and provide you with better
services. Most web browsers can be configured to not accept cookies
if you choose to disable them. However if you disable cookies, some
advanced features will not be available to you.
The information collected is used to better serve you and improve
our services. We use this information to track orders, respond to
your inquiries, welcome you to our sites, and to gauge user trends.
We will not sell your information to third parties. We may provide
general information and statistics, such as click-through rates
and user trends, to advertisers, but we will not share personal
information.
To receive our email newsletters and special e-mail offers, you
must voluntarily opt in to our mailing lists. We do not buy or sell
lists. Any emails, articles, or other information you forward to
friends from our sites is confidential, and we will not add your
friends to our lists unless they choose to opt in. You may opt out
of our email lists at any time.
If you subscribe to one of our magazines, you may receive special
offers from CK Media and/or TN Marketing in the mail. Offline and
online contact information is handled differently. As is customary
in the publications business, offline contact information is shared
with third parties who may send you offers or information about
their products or services. You must opt-out if you do not wish
to receive information from us or third parties by mail.
Our online shopping carts are highly secure to protect your information.
When you place an order on one of our sites, your information is
protected by SSL technology encryption, ensuring complete privacy
and protection of your personal information. When you order products
online, subscribe or enter an online contest, we will request more
personal information such as your mailing address, phone number
and credit card information to enable us to properly handle your
requests. This information will not be shared.
Our sites may provide links or ads to other web sites. We do not
endorse or accept responsibility for the content or privacy policies
of those sites. On some websites, DoubleClick is used as a third-party
ad server. They may share anonymous information with their clients
such as date/time of the banner ad shown, the IP address, etc. If
you would like to know more about their policies, please visit www.doubleclick.com/us/corporate/privacy.
Be aware that CK Media is not responsible for any personal information
you post online in our message boards or galleries.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit
our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your
name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to
this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about
goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more
information about this practice and to know your choices about not
having this information used by these companies, click here:

CK Media reserves the right to use or disclose any information without
notice or consent as needed to satisfy any law or legal violations.
We also reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. |
