At Future Network USA, Inc., a magazine publisher, we are interested
in protecting your privacy. But sometimes we do need information to understand
how to make our magazines more interesting, more specialized and more
successful, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in
those situations. Please read the complete privacy statement.
We will ask you when we need information that personally
identifies you (that is, your first and last name; your home or business
address; your e-mail address; your telephone number; your gender) or allows us
to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to
register before entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, or if you
subscribe to one of our magazines or elect to participate in a forum and/or a
survey. Personal information collected by any of our websites often is limited
to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other
information when needed to provide a service to you.
For example: If you choose to subscribe to a magazine, we
will request personal information such as: name, address, telephone number, and
shipping information.
- To help us create and deliver content most relevant to
you.
- To alert you to special offers, updated information and
other services.
- To help us determine if any modifications need to be made
to our publications or with respect to our subscriptions.
- To contact you regarding participation in a reader survey.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited
services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases,
answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail
and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the
information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from
using that information for any other purpose.
Certain services may be co-branded
and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use
such services, both Future Network USA and the other company may receive
information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.
We may also on occasion share this information with third
parties so that you may be informed of matters, services or products of
interest to readers of our magazines.
We will sometimes allow other companies to offer our
customers information about their products and services. If you do not wish to
receive any such mailings, you may send an e-mail to webmaster@futurenetworkusa.com.
We will disclose your personal information, without notice,
only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action
is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal
process served on us; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) act in
urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of any of our
websites, or the public; and (d) comply with negotiated agreements in the event
of a merger or sale of any of our products.
