Privacy Policy

The Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a (e)(3), requires us to tell you how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information. Federal law also limits how we can use your personal information. Protecting the privacy and security of consumers' personal information is very important to us. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do with the personal information we collect both online and offline. 

When you create a subscription account, any personal information you provide is voluntary. We collect and use only the minimum information necessary to deliver the information you request. In most cases, we collect limited information, such as email address and name. Providing your name is strictly voluntary. Having it helps to personalize our communication to you, which will help to ensure that it reaches your inbox. 

This site uses persistent cookies. This is a pretty standard practice, and it makes your user experience a lot better while still keeping you private and anonymous. But if you're not comfortable with that, it's easy to turn persistent cookies off; the site will still work fine without them. For more information on how to modify your browser settings to block or filter cookies, see http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/ .
