   The Way We Use Information
   We use the information you provide about yourself when registering as an editor and send communications related to your registration. We do not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete your registration.

   We will send you service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account. To deactivate your account, please email support@editorlive.com. After we receive your deactivation email, we will remove your application from our database.

   We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals. To accomplish this type of analysis, we use both log and cookies file data.

   Like most standard website servers, we use log files. This includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc., are not linked to personally identifiable information, except to prevent fraud.

   A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies for navigation and browser session maintenance and to understand traffic patterns generally on our site. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. Session ID cookies are not tied to your to personally identifiable information. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. Our third party partners employ clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), images, and scripts that help them better manage content on our site. We do not tie the information gathered to our Customers' or Users' personal information.

   We partner with a third party ad network to either display advertising on our Web site or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personal information about your activities on this and other Web sites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests.

   We may provide your personal information to companies that provide services to help us with our business activities such as shipping your order or offering customer service. These companies are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

   We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.

   If EditorLive is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your to personally identifiable information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your to personally identifiable information.

   Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also giving you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

   If your personal information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, amend, delete/remove, ask to have it removed or deactivate it by making the change on our member information page or by emailing our Customer Support at support@editorlive.com or by contacting us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below. We will respond to your request to access within 30 days.

   We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

3. EFFECTIVE DATE OF, AND CHANGES TO, PRIVACY POLICY
   This privacy policy is effective as of 12/11/2012, and will remain in effect except with respect to any of its provisions that are changed in the future, in which case the changes will become effective when they are posted to the website or we otherwise notify you of the changes. We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time and you should check this privacy policy periodically. Your continued use of the Service after we post any such modifications will constitute your acknowledgment of the modified policy and your agreement to abide and be bound by the modified policy. We will also revise the "last updated" date found at the beginning of this privacy policy when we post changes to it.

4. POLICY APPLICABLE TO ONLINE ACTIVITIES ONLY
   The privacy policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond EditorLive's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation. This privacy policy only applies to information collected through the EditorLive Service.

   Our Site includes links to other Web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those of EditorLive. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any Web site you visit.

5. PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
   When registering and applying for an account with the EditorLive Service, we will ask you for certain information, referred to as "personal information," which includes information that pertains to your identity and would allow a third party to contact you in person. Such information may include, but is not limited to, items such as your name, postal address, email address, and phone number. If you do not provide the requested personal information, you will not be able to register with EditorLive or apply to create an EditorLive account. General information, click stream data, and data stored in cookies (as described below), and information that we use solely to identify you as a member of the Service (e.g., your EditorLive username and password), is not considered personal information within the meaning of this privacy policy.

   How We Communicate with Our Clients
   EditorLive may send updates on new features. We will send no more than 3 emails per year. We never share your email or personal information with other companies or third-party vendors. If you do not want to receive our email updates, uncheck the check box in your user profile or on the registration form when you first create an account.

   The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

   We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can contact us at support@editorlive.com.

   Changes to This Privacy Statement
   If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

   We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our homepage prior to the changes taking effect.
