Thank you for visiting Gotham Digest online. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used at this site. This notice explains what personal information is collected, how this information is used, and with whom we share such information.
Information Gathered
At some Gotham Digest sites, you can enter contests, vote in polls, subscribe to our online newsletters, or participate in one of our online forums or communities. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services.
We collect non-personally identifiable information (such as your IP address or domain, or about your site usage) for purposes of site administration or improvement, and to compile aggregate information about usage of this site. Such information includes the type of browsers used, the type of operating systems used, the domain name of Internet service providers used, the total number of visitors to the site, the pages they visit, and how long they stay.
In addition, Gotham Digest collects information from visitors who click on advertisements so that we are able to measure interest in the various areas of our site and inform advertisers as to how many visitors have seen or clicked on their ads. Gotham Digest also uses demographic and preference information to allow advertising banners on our site to be targeted, in the aggregate, to the readers for whom they are most pertinent.
How we use the information
Gotham Digest collects personal information in order to provide guests with a personalized online experience and to provide our advertisers with a way to reach the right audience. We may use the information you provide to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries, and to offer you other products, programs, services or events that we believe may be of interest to you. We may also use the information to communicate with you, such as notify you about events or promotions, or to improve the services that we offer by tailoring them to your needs.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services. We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
On a confidential basis, Gotham Digest may also share personal information with our corporate affiliates or consultants or with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf (such as keeping track of subscriptions, marketing, printing, mailing, credit card processing, or general site administration), and may also share aggregate information with third parties for advertising and promotional purposes.
Finally, the Gotham Digest sites covered by this Privacy Notice will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses. You may also at any time opt out of receiving the Gotham Digest newsletter. Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences while you are at a site. Our cookies may contain personally identifiable information and such cookies may be shared with our affiliated companies. Some of our advertisers occasionally serve you cookies as well. We do not have any control over cookies placed by advertisers.
We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and offerings on our site. For example, we may use cookies to recognize you by name when you return to our site, or to save your password in password-protected areas. If you don't want cookies, your Web browser likely includes an option that allows you to not accept them. However, if you set your browser to refuse cookies, some portions of this site may not function properly.
Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at our Web site. Once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
Use of IP Address
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you log on to the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address, so when a guest requests pages from our site, our servers log the guest's IP address. The IP addresses of our guests are collected only for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers, our corporate affiliates or consultants, or with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf.
Our Commitment to Security
Gotham Digest has implemented appropriate safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and to make proper use of the information we collect. However, no transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure.
Our site will develop and evolve over time, and this policy may change to reflect that.
