Collecting
and Using Personal Information
Welcome to Island Vibes Magazine's (IVM) website.
We appreciate your interest in us. When you
visit and navigate our sites and when you communicate
with us via our sites, we will not collect personal
information about you unless you provide us
that information voluntarily. Any non-public
personal information that you may provide via
our sites will be used solely for the purpose
stated on the page where it is collected. (In
some cases, and in all cases where required
by law or regulation, you will be able to update
the information that you provide to us either
by sending us an e-mail or, where you have established
personal profiles with us, by updating your
profile online. Please refer to the specific
pages where data is collected for more information.)
IVM will not sell, license, transmit or disclose
this information outside of IVM and its affiliated
companies unless (a) expressly authorized by
you, (b) necessary to enable IVM contractors
or agents to perform certain functions for us,
or (c) required or permitted by law. In all
cases, we will disclose the information consistent
with applicable laws and regulations and we
will require the recipient to protect the information
and use it only for the purpose it was provided.
By “personal information,” we mean data that
is unique to an individual, such as a name,
address, Social Security number, e-mail address,
or telephone number. From time to time, we may
request personal information from you at our
sites in order to deliver requested materials
to you, respond to your questions, or deliver
a product or service.
Your
E-Mail
We welcome your comments or questions about
our websites and have provided e-mail addresses
for that purpose. We will share your comments
and questions with our customer service representatives
and those employees most capable of addressing
your questions and concerns.
Please note that your e-mail, like most, if
not all, non-encrypted Internet e-mail communications,
may be accessed and viewed by other Internet
users, without your knowledge and permission,
while in transit to us. For that reason, to
protect your privacy, please do not use e-mail
to communicate information to us that you consider
confidential. If you wish, you may contact us
instead via telephone at the numbers provided
at various locations on our sites.
There are some locations on IVM’s websites
where we have made special provisions for a
more secure environment in which we can exchange
information with you. At each of these locations,
we will provide you with appropriate instructions.
Other Information;
"Cookies" and "Tags"
You should also be aware that when you visit
our websites, we collect certain information
that does not identify you personally, but provides
us with "usage data," such as the
number of visitors we receive or what pages
are visited most often. This data helps us to
analyze and improve the usefulness of the information
we provide at these websites.
Like most commercial website owners, we may
use what is known as "cookie" technology.
A "cookie" is an element of data that
a website can send to your browser when you
link to that website. It is not a computer program
and has no ability to read data residing on
your computer or instruct it to perform any
step or function. By assigning a unique data
element to each visitor, the website is able
to recognize repeat users, track usage patterns
and better serve you when you return to that
site. The cookie does not extract other personal
information about you, such as your name or
address.
We may also use what is known as "client-side
page tagging", which uses code on each
page to write certain information about the
page and the visitor to a log when a page is
rendered by your web browser. This technique
is also commonly used on commercial websites.
"Tagging" does result in a JavaScript
program running on your computer, but it is
limited to providing information about the page
that you are requesting and the configuration
of your browser. It will not read any of your
data files, or execute any additional programs.
It does not extract any personal information
about you, such as your name or address. You
can prevent tagging by disabling JavaScript
in your browser, but that may prevent you from
using all of our website's functions.
Linking to
Other Sites
From time to time, IVM websites may provide
links to other websites, not owned or controlled
by IVM, that we think might be useful or of
interest to you. We cannot, however, be responsible
for the privacy practices used by other website
owners or the content or accuracy of those other
websites. Links to various non-IVM websites
do not constitute or imply endorsement by IVM
of these websites, any products or services
described on these sites, or of any other material
contained in them.
Changes to
This Statement
IVM may change this Statement from time to time.
We encourage you to periodically reread this
Policy to see if there have been any changes
that may affect you. This Statement is not intended
to and does not create any contractual or other
legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
