Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 1, 2007
Internet user privacy is of paramount importance to AsianWeek. The success of our website depends upon our ability to maintain the trust of our users. Below is information regarding AsianWeek’s commitment to protect the privacy of users and to ensure the integrity of the Internet. This privacy policy explains how AsianWeek collects and uses information about users of our services, products, and websites. It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Types of Information We Collect
As with most Web products and services, general use of our websites sends certain information back to AsianWeek servers. This information falls into three categories:
Personally-Identifying Information. “Personally-Identifying Information” means information that, without the aid of additional information, can be directly associated with a specific person or entity including but not limited to a name, phone number or email address. AsianWeek does not require end-users of our services to furnish Personally-Identifying Information.
Non-Personally-Identifying Information. “Non-Personally-Identifying Information” means information that cannot be directly associated with a specific person or entity. Non-Personally-Identifying Information includes but is not limited to your computer’s configuration, the version of our products you use, and cookies.
A cookie is a small string of information that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us your preferences, how and when our services are used, and by how many people. Our cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is. You may consult with the help documentation for your browser to learn how to configure cookie preferences. We recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of all of our website features.
Potentially Personally-Identifying Information. “Potentially Personally-Identifying Information” means information that is Non-Personally-Identifying Information in and of itself but that could be used in conjunction with other information to personally identify you. For example, Uniform Resource Locators (”URLs”) (the addresses of web pages) and Internet Protocol (”IP”) addresses (the addresses of computers on the internet), which are Non-Personally-Identifying Information in and of themselves, could be Personally-Identifying Information when combined with internet service provider (”ISP”) records.
E-mails and letters sent to AsianWeek may be published with consent of the owner.
Protection of Information
AsianWeek does not share your information except as described below:
Agents and Service Providers. AsianWeek may engage companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf. Examples of these services include ad serving, processing credit card payments, sending postal mail and e-mail to you, and analyzing data. While these agents and service providers may have access to your personal information in connection with the performance of services for AsianWeek, they may not use such information for any purpose other than providing such services to AsianWeek.
Protection of AsianWeek and Others. We release account and other personal information when we believe that release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our User Agreement; or protect the rights, property, or safety of AsianWeek, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Aggregate Information. AsianWeek may share aggregate personal information about you with advertisers, publishers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties.
Third Party Websites
AsianWeek products and services will interact with other websites on the Internet and other websites may link back to AsianWeek. These other websites are not under our control. The privacy and security practices of websites linked to or from AsianWeek products and services are not covered by this Privacy Policy, and AsianWeek is not responsible for the privacy or security practices or the content of such websites.
Privacy Policy Changes
AsianWeek may change the Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes will be reflected on this page. When AsianWeek changes this policy in a material way a notice will be posted on the website at www.asianweek.com/privacy-policy/
