Primedia Business Privacy Policy – Revised January 2002
Since your privacy is a priority to us, we have provided this detailed policy statement
about the privacy and information dissemination practices related to our Primedia Business
Magazines and Media products. Of course, our site visitors may enjoy many of our features and activities without providing any personal information.
Information Collection & Use:
When you register for one of our products (subscription forms, site memberships, trade show attendance, newsletter subscriptions, etc.), our forms may ask for contact and demographic information. This information is used to send news about our products or promotional material from other carefully screened businesses. In addition, demographic information may be used to customize the display of our sites to you by showing content that we think might be of interest or related to your past visits. You will be able to opt-out of any mailings.
Your browser offers so-called "cookies" which -- if you allow their use -- store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of our sites. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features you like best. And when you re-visit our sites, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. Cookies tell us nothing about you personally unless you specifically give us additional information. Our sites are viewable even if you disable the cookie function within your Web browser. However, some advanced features use cookies to assist in keeping track of your location within the site in order to provide navigational trails and similar navigational features. These cookies are not used to personally identify your surfing patterns, and are merely used to provide navigation links. Disabling your cookies simply means that some of these features will not have custom navigation available to you.
Some of the banner ads displayed in our sites are provided by outside companies. These ads may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies associated with banner ads are collected by our advertisers. We do not have access to this information. Cookies in and of themselves do not contain any personally identifiable information about you.
Information Sharing & Disclosure:
Certain information—such as your password and credit card number—is never disclosed in any form whatsoever to any outside party. Other information: While we will primarily use your email address to contact you when your subscription is up for renewal, there are a few other types of messages we may want to send you, either by email or other means. These might include (but aren’t limited to) announcements regarding other Primedia Business products or services, and special offers from carefully selected, relevant third-party businesses and organizations. You will be able to opt-out of any such mailings. In addition, we do share non-personal, aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, demographics, traffic patterns, and related site information with advertisers and reputable third party vendors for marketing and promotional purposes. However, none of the information we disclose in this aggregate form can be used to personally identify you.
Terms of Use:
By using our Web sites, you consent to the collection and use of your information by Primedia Business Magazines & Media within the policies stated above. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post changes on this page so that you are always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. As with all areas of our sites, Primedia Business Magazines & Media welcomes your questions and comments. If you have any questions or concerns about our stated privacy policies, please contact us at privacypolicy@primediabusiness.com.
Privacy Policy for subscribers of print magazines:
Because we are concerned about honoring your privacy, we want to let you know how we may use the e-mail address that you provide on your magazine subscription/renewal forms. While we will primarily use your email address to contact you when your subscription is up for renewal, there are a few other types of e-mail messages we may want to send you:
Announcements regarding other Primedia Business products or services.
Email messages with special offers from carefully selected, relevant businesses and organizations.
If you have any other questions about our subscription privacy policy, please contact our subscription department at subs@primediabusiness.com or by calling 1-800-441-0294.
