Privacy Policy Compute Media ("CM") recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by users of our web sites, registrants, subscribers and customers of our products and services. This Privacy Statement describes CM practices regarding the use and disclosure of personal information collected by or submitted to CM on the computemagazine.com web site. "Personal information" means data attributed to a specific individual.
CM collects personal information online in a number of ways. These include account registration, support requests, webinars, downloads, surveys, evaluations, comments or inquiries. CM also collects personal information by telephone, mail and at conventions, seminars, trade shows and exhibitions. The personal information CM collects may include without limitation, your first and last name, title, company name, home, billing, and physical address, your e-mail address, telephone number, IP address, username and password, and your credit card account information. For CM offerings that require payment (such as certain events, products and subscriptions), CM collects credit card information (such as account name, number and expiration date), which is used for billing purposes by CM or CM's agent only, and is not otherwise shared. Independent auditors may from time to time certify CM subscriber data using unique identifiers CM discloses to the auditors strictly for industry reporting and audit verification purposes. The website may provide interactive and community features such as discussion boards, webcasts and user profiles where CM may log your IP address when you participate.
CM may from time to time use cookies --- small records stored on your computer hard drive showing CM the website pages visited. You can configure your web browser to disable our ability to set cookies. You can still visit the CM website but your access to secure areas of the CM website requires activation of per-session cookies. CM uses personal information to manage accounts, register people in programs, answer questions, send information and to generally understand the needs and interests of CM customers and website visitors. Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, CM will not share without your assent your personal information outside of our business except to fill orders, process payments, deliver service, conduct research or to comply with court orders and regulations. CM reserves the right to share personal information consequent to a merger, acquisition, or divestiture of our business.
To serve you better, CM may send updates that contain pertinent information about our products and services. For example, CM verifies your creation and changes to password and usernames for our password-protected products and services. CM may also communicate with you through e-mail, phone or regular mail when delivering requested services and for account-related matters. From time to time CM may offer the option to receive information about our company, related products, services and promotions. You may easily elect not to receive these communications from CM.
The CM website may include facilities for blog comments, forums, wikis, message boards, news groups, instant messaging, and so on. The CM website may also link to Internet sites over which we have no control. CM recommends that you use discretion when disclosing your personal information in those areas. CM websites are not directed at individuals under thirteen years of age, and CM does not intend to collect any personally-identifiable information from such individuals.
Additional California Privacy Rights. Beginning on January 1, 2005, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits those customers that are California residents to request that CM not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing use. To make such a request, email CM at:
