The Internet Economist.com Privacy Policy
|
| What information does TheInternetEconomist.com collect from my users and how do I collect it? |
|
TheInternetEconomist.com only contacts individuals who specifically request that
I do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive my free
newsletters. TheInternetEconomist.com collects
personally identifying information from my users during online registration. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail
address for registration to receive my free newsletters. All of this information
is provided to us by you. |
| How do I use this information? |
|
This information is used for internal marketing purposes only.
TheInternetEconomist.com does not sell, exchange, or release your personal
information (name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit data,
etc.) Your information is not shared with any other
third party or company. |
| What are cookies/clear GIFs and how do I use them? |
Cookies: Like many other commercial sites, my Site utilizes standard technologies
called "cookies" and clear GIFs to collect information about how my Site is used.
A cookie is a small data text file, which a website stores on your computer's hard
drive (if your web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to
us. Cookies were designed to help a website recognize a user's browser as a previous
visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the
user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot be read by a website other than the one
that set the cookie. A cookie cannot pass on a computer virus or capture any of the
Personally Identifiable Information that resides on your computer.
Clear GIFs: At times, I work with third-party service partners that employ clear GIFs
(also known as pixel tags, single pixel GIFs, web beacons or action tags) for my benefit
to help us measure advertising effectiveness. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique
identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of
my users. The main difference between the two is that clear GIFs are invisible on the
page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Clear GIFs are not tied to your Personally Identifiable Information and only track the
visitor traffic and behavior to and on my Site.
Clear GIFs can "work with" existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same
website or advertising company. That means, for example, that if a person visited
"www.companyX.com", which uses an advertising company's clear GIF, the website would match
the clear GIFs identifier and the advertising company's cookie ID number, to show the past
online behavior for that computer. This collected information can be shared with the
advertising company. I do, at times, provide such information to my third-party advertising
service partners, but that information can only be used by my partner for my benefit and
never includes personally identifiable information.
|
| How do I store your information? |
Your information is stored at the list server that delivers TheInternetEconomist.com newsletters.
Your information can only be accessed by those who help manage those lists in order
to deliver e-mail to those who would like to receive TheInternetEconomist.com's newsletters.
