 
At AHC Media, we are committed to ensuring
your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination
practices:
CHANGES TO THE POLICY
For your convenience, changes to the AHC Media privacy
policy generally will be noted in this section for one month after a change
becomes effective.
Changes were made to the privacy policy on September 1, 2006.
THE INFORMATION WE GATHER AND HOW WE USE IT
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may use non-personally identifiable information collected from you and
other users to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics.
These aggregated statistics would be used to improve the Site and for product
development and marketing purposes generally. We also may provide such aggregated
information to advertisers and other third parties for certain purposes,
but such statistics contain no personally identifiable information and cannot
be used to gather such information.
Other non-personally identifiable information about your visits to the Site,
such as the number of times you have viewed an advertisement (but not your
name, address or other personal information), also may be used to serve
particular advertisements to you on the Site.
Personally Identifiable Information
The personally identifiable information you provide to us when using the
Site may be used to provide products and services to you, to enhance your
experience at the Site, and, if applicable, to enhance your experience as
a subscriber to AHC Media's products and services.
The ways in which we use your personally identifiable information will be
set forth, and consented to by you, either when you register to use our
Site or when you first use the Site.
We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers (collectively,
"Outside Contractors") to provide specific services and products related
to AHC Media and the Site, such as providing credit card processing and fraud
screening, order fulfillment and shipment, mailing of AHC Media publications
and other materials, hosting and maintaining the Site, and developing applications
for the Site. These Outside Contractors may sometimes have limited access
to information collected from you, including your personally identifiable
information, in the course of providing products or services to us. Access
to your personally identifiable information by these contractors is limited
to the information reasonably necessary in order for these Outside Contractors
to perform their limited function for us. We also require that these contractors
(i) protect the privacy of your personally identifiable information consistent
with this Privacy Policy, and (ii) not use or disclose your personally identifiable
information for any purpose other than providing us with products or services
for which we contracted.
We may from time to time use your personally identifiable information to
notify you of special offers and new products and services from third parties
that we think may be of interest to you. It is possible that we may rent,
sell or otherwise transfer to third parties personally identifiable information
about you. At any time, you can contact AHC Media to request
that we not share your personally identifiable information with third parties,
as set forth in greater detail below.
AHC Media may merge your information collected on the Site with similar data
obtained from third parties. We may use this enhanced personally identifiable
information to notify you of special offers, updated information and new
products and services from AHC Media.
Other unique circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your
personal information to third parties, such as in connection with a corporate
transaction where all or a portion of our business or assets (including
our associated customer lists containing your personal information) are
sold or transferred, or if disclosure is required by law or pursuant to
judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.
You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable
information in an e-mail or other communications with third parties listed
on the Sites or in other materials, that information, along with any other
information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and correlated
and used by such third parties and may result in your receiving unsolicited
messages from other persons. Such collection, correlation, use and messages
are beyond our control.

receive periodic electronic mailings from us regarding breaking news, new
products and services, or upcoming events. If you ever wish to stop receiving
such mailings please e-mail us at

access to individuals' identifiable information. All information is protected
by industry standard encryption technologies and is handled securely within
