Privacy Statement

Our Journal is committed to protect your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to this Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using our Web site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

Our Web site collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. It also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring Web site addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of our Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Our Web site does not read any of your private online communications.

We encourage you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Our Web site is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside.

Use of your Personal Information

Our Web site collects and uses your personal information to operate and deliver the services you have requested. It also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available. We may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

We do not sell, rent or lease our customer lists to third parties. We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, we may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you emails or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information.

Our Web site does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Our Web site keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within our main Web site, to determine what services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within our Web site to customers whose behavior indicate that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Our Web site will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the journal; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the journal, or the public.

Use of Cookies

Our Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize our pages, or register with site or services, a cookie helps the journal to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use features that you customized.

You can accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Our Journal secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The Web site secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

We will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. We encourage you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how our journal is protecting your information.
