Introduction
This website (“Website”) is operated by Clarisent and its family of sites (“IPS” or “we” or “us”). This Privacy Policy only covers information collected at our Website and does not cover any information collected offline by IPS (unless specifically stated). At IPS, your privacy is important to us. We provide this notice to explain our information collection practices and the choices you have about the way your information is collected and used. Your use of this Website indicates to us that you have read and accepted our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
While on our Website, you may encounter links to other websites or online materials. For example, links to websites that may be published and maintained by affiliates and/or related entities of IPS and others. Those other websites may set their own cookies, collect data and/or have their own privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected by IPS on this Website, and we encourage you to review the Privacy Policy of any other website you visit.
This Privacy Policy covers any personally identifiable information (“PII”). PII is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally such as your name, address, e-mail address, etc.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any PII you may disclose publicly in user forums (such as chat rooms, message boards or similar web pages). You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose PII on message boards, chat areas, or other user forums, that information can be collected and used by other people to send unsolicited messages and marketing materials. Also, please be aware that certain message boards (and similar user forums) may display IP addresses along with the message poster’s name and message. We bear no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information you may disclose in user forums or other public areas of this Website.
What Personal Information About You do we Collect?
Generally, you may browse our Website without providing any PII. However, we may ask you to provide PII at various times and places on this Website, such as when you register for our services, sign-up to receive advance notices about upcoming conventions, enter a sweepstake, receive free materials, subscribe to a newsletter, complete a survey or participate in polls, message groups or chat areas. We may also ask you to provide us with demographic information or information regarding your interests, hobbies or similar information. In some cases, if you choose not to provide us with the requested information, you may not be able to access all of this Website or participate in all of its features. We may combine the information we collect with information available from other sources, including information received from promotional partners or other third parties.
Note to Parents/Chldren's Privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information at our Website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Website is targeted to attract anyone under 13. We request that all visitors under 13 to our Website not disclose or provide any PII. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with PII, we will delete the child’s PII from our records.
Other Information we Collect
Log Data: When you visit this Website, our web servers automatically collect anonymous information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Website, including the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, as well as the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting our Website, and IP addresses. We also may determine what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page. For example, we may determine that you have installed a version of Flash, and we will then send you the appropriate Flash version of the web page rather than an HTML page.
IP Addresses: An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. When visitors request pages from our Website, our servers log the visitor’s IP address. We may collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the number of visits to different pages on our Website.
Cookies: Cookies are information files that our Website may place on your computer to provide extended functionality. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as tracking usage patterns on the Website, measuring the effectiveness of advertising, asset protection or limiting multiple responses and registrations when we conduct polls and sweepstakes. We do not store any PII in cookies, and we do not link the cookies to any PII we collect. We will not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent by us to you in a cookie. Advertisers or other third parties that are serving content on some of our pages may set and access their own cookies on your computer. Such third parties’ use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, which may differ from this one. Such third parties do not have access to our cookies. You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our Website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser’s provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
How we use and Disclose the Information we Collect?
We use the PII you provide about yourself to provide the information or content you have requested, to contact you about our programs, products, features or services or for other purposes disclosed at the time of collection. For instance, we may notify you that you have won a sweepstake, send you a newsletter, or send you information about an upcoming event or program support.
We may share your PII with outside parties who sponsor sweepstakes or other promotions on our Website in order to fulfill the sweepstakes and/or promotion administration. In those instances, the information is provided only for that purpose, not for unsolicited messages and marketing materials.
We will not share your PII with those and/or other outside parties unless you specifically agree to a governing set of rules that allow such disclosure or otherwise give us permission to do so. If you do not wish to continue receiving information from outside parties including our affiliates you may opt-out of receiving the information by responding to the party that contacted you via email.
We use non-PII information collected on our Website in the aggregate to better understand your use of the Web Site and to enhance your enjoyment and experience. For example, we may use the information to improve the design and content of our Website or to analyze the programs and services we offer. We may also share non-identifying aggregate information with third parties. For example, we may tell advertisers how many individuals visit certain areas of our Website, or how many men or women receive our newsletter.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. For instance, we may use third parties to host message boards or other user forums, to develop software applications and databases or to send communications on our behalf.
Our employees, agents, and contractors who have access to PII are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. We may provide access to your PII when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Website, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors of this Website or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that purpose.
IPS may only sell, transfer or otherwise disclose user information, including PII, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all assets or other fundamental corporate change.
We will not share your PII in ways unrelated to those described above without providing you with an opportunity to opt-out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

We share website usage information about visitors to our Website with this company for the purpose of managing and targeting advertisements and for market research analysis on our Website and other websites. For these purposes, our third-party advertising company or we may note some of the pages you visit on our Website through the use of Web Beacons.

We do not control the use of such technology by third-parties, the information they collect, or how they use such information. We do not disclose your PII to third-parties serving content on this Website in connection with their serving of such content.
Data Security
We take physical, electronic and managerial steps to maintain the security and accuracy of PII we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access.

Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
