We track the total number of readers visiting the different sections and features on the Web site. This information is used collectively to give us a better understanding of our readers' interests and, as a result, to improve the quality of the site. We share this collective numerical information with our advertisers. We do not share information on specific readers with our advertisers.

We currently use that information for internal use. We do not sell or distribute our demographic information outside the company. Additionally, we do not sell the email addresses the we collect.

Site visitors have the opportunity to "opt out"-that is, choose to remove their names from our E subscribers list simply by clicking on the appropriate option. All registrants will be able to opt out at any time from any or all future emailings.

We maintain reasonable precautions to keep any personal information secure. However, we are not responsible for any breach of our site's security through the actions of any third party.
