For example, you might submit a person’s name, mailing address, or e-mail address when referring them to an article or asking them to participate in a forum discussion or blog post. Information that may be collected about other people include, but is not limited to recipient’s name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
We may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our web pages or use our applications, such as the type of browser and operating system you are using, your IP Address, your Internet service provider, and location-based information.
What do we use the information for?
The information you provide about yourself or others may be used in any of the following ways:
- To fulfill requests for our publications

- To communicate with you, to notify you when we make changes to subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter, or to contact you about your account.
- If you choose to submit content (e.g., a “letter to the editor,” an article, or an online review), we may publish your name, screen name, and other information you have provided to us.
- To personalize your experience and facilitate participation with our online forums and communities.
- To improve end user experience on our website, improve the design and content of our website and magazine, and to personalize your online experience.

Agents and contractors of CCD Magazine that have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for CCD Magazine.
Please note that if CCD Magazine is sold or otherwise disposed of, including through merger of, consolidation, or sale of assets, the relevant customer database, including personally identifiable information we may possess about you, may, in whole or in part, be sold, disposed of, transferred or otherwise disclosed as part of that transaction.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.
If you prefer not to receive traditional mail or other off-line promotions from CCD Magazine, please notify us in writing.
If you prefer not to receive e-mail marketing from CCD Magazine, please notify us in writing.

What about Third-Party Sites and Sponsors?
Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours. You should consult the other sites’ privacy notices, as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
CCD Magazine may offer contests, sweepstakes, promotions, editorial features, or other activities or offerings that are sponsored or co-sponsored by or presented with identified third parties. By virtue of your participation in such activities or offerings, your IP Address and the personally identifiable information that you voluntarily submit may be provided to both the CCD Magazine site and the third parties. CCD Magazine has no control over the third parties’ use of this information.
CCD Magazine may use reputable third parties to present or serve advertisements, including online behavioral advertisements, that you may see on the web pages and to conduct research about the advertisements. This privacy notice does not cover any use of information that such third parties may have collected from you (e.g., type of browser, operating system, domain name, day and time of visit, page(s) visited) or the methods used by the third-parties to collect that information (e.g., cookies, web beacons and clear gifs).
To enhance your online experience we use cookies. Cookies are text files we place in your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering on our site. However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
We use cookies to understand Internet usage and to improve our content, offerings and advertisements. For example, we may use cookies to personalize your experience at our web pages (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to our site), and save your password in password-protected areas.
We also may use cookies to offer you products, programs, or services. Similarly, as part of an arrangement with our business partners (including, those who present or serve the advertisements that you see on our web pages) we may also access cookies placed by others and allow others to access certain cookies placed by us.
We may also use small pieces of code such as “web beacons” or “clear gifs” to collect anonymous and aggregate advertising metrics, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. These “web beacons” may be used to deliver cookies that conform to our cookie policy.
We have implemented a variety of physical, electronic, and managerial measures to ensure the safety of your personal information and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect.
