Registration Information
To make use of certain features on our site (such as to receive email newsletters),
visitors need to register and to provide certain information as part of the registration
process. We may also ask for information from those who buy products or services or
conduct other transactions on our site. (We may ask, for example, for your name, email
address, zip code or credit card number The information you supply will help us to offer
you more personalized features, to tailor our site to your interests and make them more
useful to you, and to process e-commerce transactions.

The more you tell us about yourself, the more value we can offer you. Supplying such
information is entirely voluntary. But if you don't supply the information we need, we
may be unable to provide you with services we make available to other visitors to our
site. And we can't send you email alerting you to a new service we're offering, or
breaking news that may interest you if you don't tell us what you're interested in and
give us your email address.


Email Newsletters
We may also offer you the opportunity to subscribe to email newsletters on topics that
we believe are of interest to our visitors. If you have opted to receive a particular
newsletter, you may always unsubscribe later if you decide not to receive further
mailings of the newsletter from us.

Cookies
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we use a standard
feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign each visitor a unique, random
number, a sort of user ID, if you will, that resides on your computer. The cookie doesn't
actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site.
Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for example), we won't
know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie can't read
unrelated data off your hard drive. Our advertisers and the third parties that provide
products or services through our site may also assign their own cookies to your
browser, a process that we don't control.

We use cookies to help us tailor our site to your needs, to deliver a better, more
personalized service. For example, we use cookies to avoid showing you the same ad,
repeatedly, during a single visit. In addition, we may use cookies to track the pages on
our site visited by our users. We can build a better site if we know which pages our
users are visiting and how often. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept
cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized
features enjoyed by other visitors to our site.

Other Methods of Collecting Information. Our web pages may contain electronic images
(called "single-pixel GIFs" or "web beacons") that allow us and our vendors to count
users who have visited particular pages or to access certain cookies. We may use
these tools and other technologies to recognize which pages users visit, and which links
they click on. These features may also be included in our email newsletters so that we
can learn which messages have been opened and acted upon. We may also be able to
verify your online purchases from us or from third party sites that have agreed to share
such information with us.

Browser Level Information and IP Addresses
Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer
configuration when you visit our site, including the type of browser software you use,
the operating system you're running, the resolution of your computer monitor, the
website that referred you, and your IP address. (Your IP address is a numerical address
that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that
data (such as the web pages you want to view) can be transmitted to you. We also use
IP address information for systems administration and trouble shooting purposes. Your
IP address does not tell us who you are.) We use this information to deliver our web
pages to you upon request, to tailor our site to the interests of our users, and to
measure traffic within our site.

Without your permission, we will not share the personally-identifiable information you
provide when registering on our site with advertisers. We will, however, take the
information you provide and aggregate it with data from all the other people that use
this site and associated services. Then we will use that pool of information to inform our
advertisers about our audience without identifying you personally. For example, we'll be
able to say to an advertiser: "We have 3,470 readers in this ZIP code," which happens
to be your location. '

Much of the information we collect is in the form of aggregated statistics, such as the
traffic that visits various pages within our sites, and the habits and preferences of our
audience. Such aggregated information does not include any information that would
identify you personally. We may use such aggregated information and disclose it to
third parties as we see fit.

and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we don't control. When you

of the operator of the site you're visiting or the provider of such products or services.

Other Disclosures
We may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate
to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or
safety of visitors to our sites, the public, our customers, or our company and its
employees, agents, partners and affiliates. As our business grows, we may buy or sell
various assets. In the unlikely event that our company, or the bulk of our assets relating
