OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR
PRIVACY
Your privacy on the Internet is
of the utmost importance to us.
We want to make your experience online satisfying and
safe.
Because we gather certain types
of information about our users, we feel you should fully
understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding
the capture and use of that information. This privacy
statement discloses what information we gather and how we use
it.
INFORMATION
GATHERED AND TRACKED
We can and sometimes will gather various types of information
about users:
- Information that users
provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are
voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters,
to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a
friend, and from participation in polls and
surveys:
- Information gathered through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout
our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our
content to readers’ needs and to help our advertisers and
sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience.
Because
we
derives its revenue mainly
from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated
demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to
users. Under no circumstances do
we
divulge any information about an individual user to a third
party.
We
Can gather User information in the following processes:
Optional Voluntary
Information
We may offer the following free
services, which require some type of voluntary submission of
personal information by users:
Privacy
Policy
1. Electronic newsletters policy
(Dispatches)
If
we
offer a free electronic newsletter to users,
we
gathers the email addresses of users who
voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this
mailing list by following the link provided in every
newsletter that points users to the subscription management
page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time
of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
policy
Users of the site’s Message
Boards and Forums must register separately for these services
(both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although
they needn’t register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password, and email
address.
3. “E-mail this to a friend”
policy
Our site users can choose to
electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone
else by clicking “e-mail this to a friend”. The user must
provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient.
This information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the
email. The information is not used for any other
purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls
to users so they can easily share their opinions with other
users and see what our audience thinks about important issues.
Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are
not identifiable to any particular user. Go Article Marketing
LLC may use a system to “tag” users after they have voted, so
they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is
not correlated with information about individual
users.
5. Surveys
We
may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content
to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic
information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers
and partners. We never share any of this information about
specific individuals with any third party.

Children
Consistent with the Federal
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we
will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting
parental consent.
Usage tracking
We
track user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we
do not correlate this information with data about individual
users.
We
do break down overall usage
statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type,
and MIME type by reading this information from the browser
string (information contained in every user’s
browser).
We
sometimes track and catalog the search terms that users
enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never
associated with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you.

a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information although it will
enable us to relate your use of this site to information that

personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk
or read cookie files created by other sites. Go Article

USE OF INFORMATION
We
use any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance
their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide
interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of our
users.
As stated above, we use
information that users voluntarily provide in order to send
out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate
in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on
the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions
when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in
something we are doing.
We
never share newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including
advertisers, sponsors or partners unless specifically noted at
the point and time of a specific sign-up to a specific
offer.
When we use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one
of many measures of what interests our users. But we don’t
track which terms a particular user enters.
We
create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic
patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows
our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our
users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their
needs. Because we don’t track the usage patterns of individual
users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a
specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose any
information about any individual user except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the
personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE
INFORMATION
We
use the above-described information to tailor our content to
suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our
audience’s demographics. This is essential to keeping our
service free. We will not share information about individual
users with any third party, except to comply with applicable
law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety
of our users or the public.

operate secure data networks protected by industry standard
firewall and password protection systems. Our security and
privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as
necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers.

We give users options wherever
necessary and practical. Such choices include:
- Opting not to register to
receive any electronic newsletters we may offer at any
time.
- Opting not to participate
in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates
the need to gather any personally identifiable information
from our users
- Option to opt-out of any
subscription or newsletter we may offer.
