Travel Magazine
We have created this privacy statement in order to
demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment to the privacy of personal information provided by those
visiting and interacting with this web site. We hold the privacy of your personal information in the highest
regard. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website and
Talk Travel Magazine.
We recognize the importance of protecting your
privacy and our policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal
information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site. This policy will
be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.
What Information Do We
Collect?
When you visit this web site you may provide us
with two types of information: simply your first name and your email address.
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web
site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server
log files to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web
server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and any links
clicked within our Magazine.
How Do We Use the Information That You
Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information
for purposes of administering the quality of the information and articles we provide in our Magazine in order to
improve our content and service offerings, and customize our Magazine content, layout, services and for other
lawful purposes. These uses improve our Magazine and better tailor it to meet your needs.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our Magazine, new services, and special offers we think you will
find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at the link
provided on the Magazine.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which
often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer
for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site
can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your
browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by
other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you
may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies,
it is possible that some areas of our site will not function as effectively when viewed by the users. A cookie
cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect
from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site, the site
uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from having
to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to
calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Magazine and which parts of the Magazine are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our Magazine and better serve our subscribers.
Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not intentionally store any personal
information that your browser provided to us in your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every
time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to
identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and
profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling
Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the
information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to
the extent it is necessary to process forwarding our Magazine or provide services that you have
requested.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure
of Information?
We may disclose information when legally
compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection
of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms
of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked in our
Magazine?
We are not responsible for the practices
employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site or the information or content contained therein. Often links
to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our
Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go
from our Website to another web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on
any other web site, including web sites, which have a link on our Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules
and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our
collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend
this privacy policy at any time with or without notice.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
Our online Magazine allows visitors to
unsubscribe so that they will not receive future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the
particular messages as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information
from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip or postal code, age
level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
A Special Note About
Children
Children are not eligible to use our services
unsupervised and we ask that children (under the age of 14) do not submit any personal information to us. If you
are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with permission and guidance from your parents or
guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in
Ownership
In the event that Talk Travel
Magazine (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part of
those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to
time. If/when changes are made to this privacy policy, we will email users who have given us permission to do so.
We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the
Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the personal information you have submitted to us under this
Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior
consent
