This site is owned and operated by Ace Publishing. Because we gather certain types of information about our visitors, 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 We Gather and Track

We gather two types of information about visitors:

1. Information that visitorsprovide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions and can include to sign up as a user, receive electronic newsletters, fill out response forms, participate in polls, etc.

2. Information we gather 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.

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 visitor traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual visitors. We do break down overall usage statistics according to a visitor's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information passed to us by every visitor's browser).

We may track and catalog the search terms that a visitor enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with an individual visitor. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites visitors like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual visitors read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better site for you.

Cookies

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it can enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can identify is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. We use cookies to track visitors who've signed-in and people who've participated in a poll.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site.

Use Of Information

As stated above, we use information that visitors voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable visitors to participate in the various parts of our site. We never share your e-mail address or any other individually identifying information with any third parties.

While we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites visitors like and don't like based on traffic to those areas, we do not track what individual visitors 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 visitors. But we don't track which terms a particular visitor enters.

We create aggregate reports on visitor demographics and traffic patterns for our internal use only. We will not disclose any information about any individual visitor except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our visitors or the public.

Sharing Of The Information

We will not sell, trade, rent or provide any information about individual visitors with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our visitors or the public.

Security

We use servers 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 visitors.

Opt-Out Policy

We give visitors options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

Opting not to register as a user and receive our electronic newsletters.

Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information.
