ReviewTimes.com strives
to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and
to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use
Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy
policy. Please note this policy applies only to information collected
by ReviewTimes.com online and does not impact information collected or
used by ReviewTimes.com or its affiliates through other means.
How we gather information from users.
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. You can visit many pages on our site without
providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to provide
information, such as when you register for access to portions of our
site, sign up for membership, request certain features (e.g.,
newsletters, news updates and other products), sign up for a newspaper
subscription or make a purchase. You may also provide information when
you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling
activities, message boards and chat rooms and other interactive areas
of our site.
Like most Web sites, ReviewTimes.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use "cookie" technology. Among other
things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you
from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may
control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement
while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may
also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can
choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may limit your
ability to access certain portions of the site or may require you to
re-enter your user name and password. Additionally we may not be able
to customize the site's features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. Aggregated
Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be
used in many ways. As one example, we may combine information about
your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users
to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive. Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners, but cannot be used to contact you
individually.
We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. For example, we may use
Personally Identifiable Information collected on ReviewTimes.com to
communicate with you regarding our terms of service and privacy policy, products and services offered
by ReviewTimes.com and other Findlay Publishing Company affiliates and
partners, administration of sweepstakes and contests, processing
e-commerce transactions and other topics we think you might find of
interest. We reserve the right to share this information with other
Findlay Publishing Company business units and affiliates, including
for example our affiliated newspapers and entities in which Findlay
Publishing Company has an ownership interest (collectively,
"Affiliates"). This policy does not apply to any Affiliate's use of
such information.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by ReviewTimes.com may
also be used for other purposes including but not limited to site
administration and troubleshooting. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service and our newsletter provider, for example) may access such
information.
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or
partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose
your information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with
the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or whenever we deem
it appropriate or necessary to give such information to law
enforcement authorities. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Your choice to opt out.
The quality news and information on ReviewTimes.com is supported by
advertising revenue and a controlled program of e-mail marketing is an
important element of our online publishing business. Like other Web
publishers, we sometimes permit our advertising and promotional
partners to e-mail you about services, features, products, special
offers and unique content we believe might interest you. If you prefer
not to receive e-mail communications sent directly from our
advertisers or promotional partners, you will be given an opportunity
to decline before you provide us information we might use for this
purpose. If you decline at the time you provide us such information,
we will not share the Personally Identifiable Information you provide
with non-Affiliated advertisers for such purposes, though we may on
occasion send you information on their behalf.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements.
ReviewTimes.com expects its partners, advertisers and third-party
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. However, third
parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other
content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example,
during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a
frame on a ReviewTimes.com page, certain content that is actually
created or hosted by a third party. Also, through ReviewTimes.com you
may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
advertisements, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other
parties. ReviewTimes.com is not responsible for the actions or
policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable
privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on
a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether
you have seen a particular advertisement before. Through features
available on our site, third parties may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. ReviewTimes.com does not control the
use of this technology or the resulting information and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. Should you
choose to voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on
our site, such as in message boards, chat areas or in advertising or
notices you post, that information can be viewed publicly and can be
collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may
result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third
parties. Such activities are beyond the control of ReviewTimes.com and
this policy.
Children.
ReviewTimes.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as
permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information from
a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that
information immediately. If you believe ReviewTimes.com has any
information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the
address listed below.
