Information from Website Visitors

We do not use cookies to collect information about visitors to our websites. We do use Internet Service Provider (IP) addresses from our log files to analyze trends, administer the site, and gather broad anonymous demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information, so while we will share anonymous aggregated demographic information with our advertisers, this is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

From time to time, Life Media may invite website visitors and/or magazine readers to participate in surveys. In this context, we may request demographic information (age, household income level, etc.) along with basic information regarding your reading or other interests and how Life Media may better serve those needs.

Demographic and other information volunteered in connection with surveys is used primarily for internal purposes to improve the company's responsiveness to customers' wants, needs, interests, opinions and suggestions. The aggregate results of such surveys may be published. Demographic information volunteered via surveys is entered "blind" with respect to any personally identifiable information provided by individual survey respondents, and is not linked in any way with such information.
