parent or guardian.
Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, InfoMedia, Inc. does not
provide any personally identifying information, regardless of its

No information collected from guests under 13 years of age is used for
any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, either inside or

Guests’ e-mail addresses are never posted on InfoMedia, Inc. Web sites,
except where a guest uses our message boards. The Guest has an option
to have his or her email address appear.
Policies for Individuals 13 Years of Age or Older
With the permission of a guest who is 13 years of age or over,
information submitted at the time of Registration or submission may be
used for marketing and promotional purposes by InfoMedia, Inc. and may
be shared with our affiliates or companies that have been prescreened

About IP Addresses
InfoMedia, Inc. collects IP addresses for the purposes of system
administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers.
An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big
computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your
computer by its IP address.
When guests request pages from InfoMedia, Inc. sites, our servers log
the guests’ IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable. This means that a user’s session will be
logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.
Use of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site
transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes.
Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your passwords,
purchases, and preferences while you’re at our site. The use of cookies
is an Industry standard -- you’ll find them at most major Web sites.
By showing how and when guests use the site, cookies help us see which
areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to
the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages
viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. If you
accept the first tracking cookie from any InfoMedia, Inc. web site, you
won’t be offered as many afterwards.
Examples of How InfoMedia, Inc. Sites Use Cookies
A cookie lets the computers remember that you’ve registered, which
allows us to speed up your future activities at our sites. Similarly,
The WorldVillage Store Online uses a temporary cookie to track which
products you’ve chosen while shopping. The cookie expires once you’re
done shopping. Letting it do the record keeping saves you the trouble
of entering information over and over again during a single visit. If
you decline this cookie, you may have difficulty ordering your
selections.
How InfoMedia, Inc. Sites Do Not Use Cookies
InfoMedia, Inc. sites never use cookies to retrieve information from
your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except as
described below, InfoMedia, Inc. sites do not use information
transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes,
nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever.
InfoMedia, Inc. sites do not use cookies to identify specific
individuals, except in such cases as online shopping (see above) and
contest registration (where a cookie allows you to enter a contest
every day without registering again each time).
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. InfoMedia, Inc.
does not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to
the InfoMedia, Inc. cookie policy. The use of advertising cookies sent
by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you
can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being
sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the site, such as the
shopping, contest, and game areas, will not function properly if you do
so.
Links to Other Sites
Users should be aware that when you are on InfoMedia, Inc. sites you
could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are
links to other sites from InfoMedia, Inc. sites that take you outside
our service. For example, if you click on a banner advertisement or a
InfoMedia, Inc. search result, the click takes you off the InfoMedia,
Inc. site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and partners
that may use InfoMedia, Inc.’s logo as part of a cobranding agreement.
These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or
solicit personal information. Always be aware of where you end up.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information
online – for example, via message boards or chat – that information can
be collected and used by people you don’t know. While InfoMedia, Inc.
strives to protect its users’ personal information and privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online,
and you do so at your own risk.
Your Acceptance of These Terms By using this site, you signify your
assent to the InfoMedia, Inc. Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to
this policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of the
InfoMedia, Inc. sites following the posting of changes to these terms
will mean you accept those changes. You can send e-mail to us with any
further questions. |
