The Information We Collect
Through MAGHOUND's Web site, publications, and other media, you can order magazines. You are able to visit much of this Web site and examine the membership options and magazines offered by MAGHOUND without providing any personally identifiable information. However, we do need your personally identifiable information to provide you with the products and services that you request. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages and elsewhere include, but are not limited to: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, or services.
For the MAGHOUND magazine service, only persons who provide us with the requested personally identifiable information will be able to participate.
We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our Web pages, such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
If you provide MAGHOUND with other names at the shipping address assigned to your account, you represent that you have all necessary authority to enable us to collect, use and disclose his or her personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
How We Use the Information
We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, or services; to respond to your inquiries about offerings; and to offer you other products, programs, or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as when we make changes to subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter, or to contact you about your account with us.
If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., comments on the MAGHOUND service), we may publish your name and other information you have provided to us.
The information we collect in connection with any online forums or communities MAGHOUND may create is used to provide an interactive experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in these online forums and communities and, from time to time, to offer you products, programs, or services.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our Web site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.
We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law; for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.
Agents and contractors of MAGHOUND who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for MAGHOUND.
We may transfer your personally identifiable information to other MAGHOUND offices or affiliates for internal management and administrative purposes. Your personal data will be transferred to other MAGHOUND offices or affiliates where necessary for the performance or conclusion of our contractual obligations to you or for your benefit. Transfers of personally identifiable information may also be made where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.
