E21MEDIA PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy statement covers all of the E21MEDIA sites. Please read this statement carefully before using or proceeding to access E21MEDIA Sites. Your use of E21MEDIA Sites indicates your agreement to abide by the Terms in effect.

Information Collection

E21MEDIA is the sole owner of the information collected on the E21MEDIA Sites. E21MEDIA may collect information from our users at several different points on the E21MEDIA Sites.

Comments

In order to enhance their use of the E21MEDIA Sites, users can choose to leave comments on particular articles of interest. Commenters may register anonymously. However, if a third party complains that a comment libels them, then we will make reasonable efforts to contact the commenter and alert them to the situation. If we are required to by law to disclose commenters’ contact information, we will attempt to contact commenters to give them the opportunity to respond to such requests.

Mailing Lists

E21MEDIA may launch a mailing list for some or all of the E21MEDIA Sites, in order to provide subscribers with relevant information - breaking news, or weekly or daily round-ups, for example. In order to sign up to receive regular emails from a site's mailing list, users must submit information including a valid email address and demographic information such as location and interests. This information will be used in aggregate form only in order to assess general user interest in various internal and third party products and services, and your personal and contact information will not be passed to any other organization.

Users who choose to sign up for a mailing list will receive regular emails from the site. Most of the time, these will be content from the site in question, but we may occasionally send out an email from a third party sponsor. This will be infrequent, and does not represent an endorsement by E21MEDIA of any products advertised therein. It will clearly be marked as advertising: please check it out, as we hope you will feel that it is relevant to you. Since editorial independence is critical to us, you can be sure that we will never send out a sponsored email in the guise of a glowing product review. If you do not wish to receive emails from third party advertisers, please do not sign up for the mailing list.

Discussion Group and Cookies

In order to further enhance the user experience, E21MEDIA runs a commenting service on some or all of the E21MEDIA Sites where users can discuss common topics of interest. Users have the option of signing up for this service, and to do so must submit information including a valid email address. E21MEDIA uses this information to screen out users who leave comments prohibited by our terms and conditions of use and to pick out topics of interest to discussion board users. E21MEDIA will not pass this information to any other organization except in aggregate form.

The discussion board service may use cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.

By setting a cookie on a E21MEDIA Site, users will not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on the site’s discussion board. We store a cookie on each user's machine that contains a username and encrypted password. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use E21MEDIA products or services that require you to "sign in," and you may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings. However, not all E21MEDIA services require that you accept cookies.

Third Party Cookies

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, E21MEDIA has no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by E21MEDIA only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Third Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and would like to know your options in relation to not having this information used by these companies, click here.

Google Advertising

Some ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by Google, among other services. Information about users' visits to this site, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but not username, date of birth, or any other personal information), is used to serve Google ads to users on this site. Google makes use of the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on your site.
  • Google's use of the DoubleClick DART cookie enables it to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

Links

The E21MEDIA Sites contain links to other sites. Please be aware that E21MEDIA is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by E21MEDIA.

Log Files

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may use a tracking utility that uses log files to analyze user movement.

Business Transitions

In the event E21MEDIA goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, E21MEDIA may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on any of the E21MEDIA Sites.

Notification of Changes

Whenever E21MEDIA changes its privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
