Privacy Policy
At Strang
Communications, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the
information we collect about you to send you information about the latest
products and services and to learn from you about new products and services
that you would like us to provide. Please read on for more details about our
privacy policy.
What information do we collect? How
will we use it?
- When you sign up for our newsletters, we need to know
your e-mail address, first and last name. We gather this information only to get
a better understanding of who you are and better serve you. We may use
your name in order to personalize communications we have with you.
- When you sign up for a web-based (online) or print
subscription online, we collect your name, address, phone number, payment
information and e-mail address. This is done so we can send the issues to you
by mail or grant you access to our online subscriber’s area.
- Us or our partners may also use the information collected to
occasionally notify you about special promotions, events and products
updates, services and special offers you may find valuable. You must "opt-in" at http://www.strang.com/account.php in order to receive
this information via email from our partners, but you will always receive special promotions,
events and products
updates, services and special offers from us.
- We do not sell your personal information to others.
However, we do rent our customer list of subscribers from our print
magazine versions and offer our email lists availble to our partners of those subscribers who have
"opt-in." We may provide aggregate statistics about our
customers, traffic patterns, and related demographic information to
our partners, but these statistics will include no
personally identifying information.
- Our site's registration,
order and survey forms require users to give us contact information (like
their name, email, and postal address), financial information (like their
bank account or credit card numbers), and demographic information
(like their zip code, age, or income level). Contact information from the
these forms are used to ship purchases and information about our company. The
customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the
you when necessary.
Use of
Cookies
"Cookies" are a form of information that can be stored
on your computer by a Web server for a variety of reasons. The Strang
Communications Online (SCO) uses cookies, but our online visitors should be assured
that cookies are simply used by us to facilitate automated activity that:
- Passes
no significant information about the user to the Internet or to Strang
Communications
- Is
not analyzed to yield any information.
We use “cookies” for the following interaction with
our Web sites:
Navigation and Personalization: Some actions that a user may take in SCO,
particularly during Web publishing, may cause us to take the user through a
series of steps that can be entered from a variety of locations. To make sure that
we return the user to where they expect to be when they complete these steps,
SCO will frequently send the user's browser a cookie to mark their current
location. This sort of Web server "bookmark" helps us to provide a
positive, predictable user experience for more sophisticated operations. If you
choose to personalize your online visit with us by providing your name and
city, we set a permanent cookie to display the information each time you visit.
This “cookie” can be disabled or removed within your browser settings. However, browsers that have cookies disabled will
always remain at "guest" status. We also use them to deliver
content specific to your interests, and to save your password so you don't have
to re-enter it each time you visit our site. We
also use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart, and to make
sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly.
We do not use cookies for any other purpose,
although this may change as we offer new features.

information gathered online in a secure environment protected from unauthorized
third party access, alteration, or misuse. Information collected from online
visitors is stored on database and other servers kept in secure locations under
the custody and control of Strang Communications or its third party vendors.
Strang Communications also uses technologies and processes such as encryption,
access control procedures and network firewalls to protect such servers. User
accounts and related information are password protected using
industry-standard, commercially reasonable methods.
Strang Communications makes commercially reasonable
efforts to protect such information and to limit its use and disclosure of such
information as described herein, but cannot guarantee that such efforts will be
successful.
Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
We care about children and understand that they
have special privacy needs. Therefore, we have adopted the following privacy
policy regarding children:
- We will NOT collect, use,
or distribute to third parties personally identifiable information without
prior verifiable parental consent.
- We will NOT give the child
access to unmonitored chat rooms, message boards, email accounts, or other
services that would give the child the ability to publicly post or
otherwise distribute personally identifiable information without prior
verifiable parental consent
- When verifiable parental
consent is not obtained, we will only use the online contact information
(such as email) to:
- Respond
directly to the child's request on a one-time basis and not use that
information to re-contact the child for other purposes.
- Request
the name or online contact information of a parent for the purpose of
obtaining verifiable parental consent or providing parental notification.
- Respond
more than once directly to a specific request from a child (such as in
the case where a child requests a newsletter subscription) and not used
to re-contact the child for other purposes. We will use our best efforts
to provide parental notification, which will include the nature and
intended use as well as an opportunity for the parent to prevent the use of
the information and participation in the activity.
- We will provide the parent
a description of the specific types of a personally identifiable
information collected from their child upon request. We will allow the
parent to refuse further use or future online collection of personally
identifiable information and provide a way for a parent to obtain any
personally identifiable information collected from their child.
- We will provide notice to
children in age appropriate terms of what personally identifiable
information is to be collected.
- We will NOT provide any
links to Web sites that are unsuitable for children.
- We will encourage children
to get their parent's permission before sharing personal information
online.
Any questions regarding the information we collect from
children or our parental consent policy should be directed to:
