It is the publisher's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating its websites.

Website Visitors

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors choose to interact with the publisher in ways that require the publisher to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that the publisher gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, an email address may be acquired in exchange for access to additional materials. Those who engage in transactions with the publisher – by purchasing a service or subscription, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, the publisher collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with the publisher. The publisher does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

The publisher may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. The publisher may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The publisher does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

The publisher discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on The publisher's behalf or to provide services available at The publisher's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The publisher's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The publisher will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, The publisher discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The publisher believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The publisher, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an The publisher website and have supplied your email address, The publisher may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with The publisher and our products. You may opt-out of receiving promotional emails by sending a request to our support email address, in which case we will thereafter only send you emails with information that affects your use of our products or website. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mecha-nisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The publisher takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
