Gathering of Information

Voluntary Submission

You always have the option not to provide the information we request. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of the Newsmeter.blogspot.com website, but you may be unable to access certain options and services.

Cookies
A cookie is a data file that certain websites write to your computer’s hard drive when you visit such sites. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user identification code, that the site uses to track the pages you have visited. Newsmeter.blogspot.com uses cookies to track user traffic patterns throughout the Newsmeter.blogspot.com website and to remember your custom video playlists, job title, story ratings (if you have provided any), and membership status so that you don’t have to login each time you visit the website. We use this data on an anonymous basis and we do not correlate this information with personal data of any user.

Business partners of Newsmeter.blogspot.com and vendors providing hosting and other services for Newsmeter.blogspot.com., as well as advertisers who contract directly with a third-party service to serve their advertisements on our website may set their own unique cookies on your browser. We do not have access to these cookies or any information that they may contain. If you would like more information about this practice and about your option not to accept cookies placed by these companies, please click here.

Most website browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to display a warning before accepting a cookie, or to refuse all cookies. However, if you choose to disable the receipt of cookies from our website, you may not be able to use certain features of the site. Visit www.aboutcookies.org to learn about how to delete and control cookies using the mail browser types.

Log Files/Browser Level Information
Newsmeter.blogspot.com Web servers automatically collect information about a site user’s IP address, browser type and the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the website or not) and which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the website or not) by reading this information from the user’s browser (information provided by every user’s browser). This information is collected in a database and used–in an aggregated, anonymous manner–in our internal analysis of traffic patterns within our website. This information is automatically logged by most websites. Newsmeter.blogspot.com also uses a third party to collect information, including through the use of web beacons.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We employ and our third party advertising partners employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs). Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We and our third party advertising partners may tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information. In some instances clear gifs may also drop a cookie to enable us to retarget select users with relevant advertising by linking it with behavioral data aggregated by our 3rd party advertising partners.

Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We and our third party advertising partners may link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. IP addresses may be tied to personally identifiable information to enable us to retarget select users with relevant advertising.

Use of Information
Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our website.

To Target Content
To develop content targeted to your interests, we use aggregated user information to determine which areas of our website users prefer based upon traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each page or content area performs overall.

To Provide Interactive Communications From Newsmeter.blogspot.com
To enhance your experience we may provide you with interactive communications, such as our electronic newsletters, to the e-mail address that you provide to us. Such interactive communications are provided only to those users who have expressly provided us with their permission to receive them as part of their user profile.

From time to time we may provide e-mails highlighting new features, promotions or contests on the website to those users who have expressly provided us with their permission to send such communications as part of their user profile.

To Provide Communications From Third Parties
We respect the privacy of our users and shall not disclose or distribute our user list to any third party, nor shall it permit anyone else to do so. However, we do make available for rental our list of those registrants who have expressly provided us with their permission to receive third party information and offers as part of their user profile. In those cases, your personal information is not transferred to the third party.


Sharing of Information
When you are on an area of Newsmeter.blogspot.com and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Newsmeter.blogspot.com as well as business partners and vendors providing hosting and other services for Newsmeter.blogspot.com. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of your information by not using that particular service. In addition, any personally identifiable information provided by our users as part of an advertiser promotion online may be provided directly to advertisers.

Aggregate, Anonymous Information With Advertisers
Newsmeter.blogspot.com derives the majority of its revenue from advertising and sharing information is essential to keeping our services affordable to users. In order to attract and retain advertisers we use the aggregated, anonymous information that we gather (as well as information from third-party market researchers) to describe our services to partners and to assist our advertisers and sponsors to better understand our audience. We do not disclose personally identifying information about our users to these parties.

As Necessary to Provide Services to You
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of newsletter mailings, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. In some instances, one of these companies may collect information directly from you (such as for credit card processing for purchase of archived articles). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the external service provider. In all cases, these companies are subject to agreements that require them to maintain the confidentiality of your information and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

In The Event of Sale or Bankruptcy
The ownership of Newsmeter.blogspot.com may change at some point in the future. Should that occur, we want this site to be able to maintain a relationship with you. In the event of a sale, merger, public offering, bankruptcy or other change in control of Newsmeter.blogspot.com LLC and/or Newsmeter.blogspot.com your information may be shared with the person or business that owns or controls this site. Opting out of receiving information from third parties will not affect our right to transfer your information to a new owner, but your choices will continue to be respected regarding the use of your information.

As Required By Law
Newsmeter.blogspot.com may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Newsmeter.blogspot.com or to protect and defend the rights or property of Newsmeter.blogspot.com.

Security
Your information is stored on Newsmeter.blogspot.com’s servers located in the United States. We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy, including encryption, “firewalls” and Secure Socket Layers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. However, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet.

Privacy of Children
Kids under 13: Do not send any information about yourself to us–including information such as your name, address, or e-mail address. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible.

How Will I Know if the Privacy Policy Is Changed?
This statement may change from time to time, so please check back periodically. If we are going to be using the information collected from users in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, we will send affected users written notice of the change by e-mail.
