Purposes of Collecting Personal Information About Users.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to:
o personalize and improve the service we provide to you;
o respond to any emailed requests you make to us; and
o customize advertising content and communicate with you (including,
without limitation, provide you with email alerts).
We collect the following types of information from our users:
A. Information You Provide to Us:
We may receive and store any information you enter on our websites or
provide to us in any other way, such as your nickname, name, email address, and
other information you provide. You can choose not to provide us with certain
information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our
special features, such as posting comments to our websites, creating a user profile
or receiving email alerts.
In order for you to use certain parts of our websites or take advantage of
certain Hub Mag services, you may be required to complete a registration form and provide the requested information about you. Required information for all sites includes a nickname, email address and password.
When you use our websites, you may, among other things, set up your
profile, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries,
comment and transmit information through various channels. In most cases, we
retain your information so that you can return to view saved lists or sent
messages. When you update your information, we usually keep a back-up copy of
the prior version.
You post information at your own risk. Although we allow you to set
privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security
measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users
with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we
cannot and do not guarantee that information you post on the website will not be
viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any
privacy settings or security measures contained on the website. You understand
and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of your information may remain
viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored
your information.
B. Automatic Information:
We may receive and store certain types of information whenever you
interact with us. Hub Mag may automatically receive and record certain
“traffic data” on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, Hub Mag cookie information, the page you requested, and your communications
and interaction with our other website registrants. Hub Mag uses this traffic
data to, among other things, help diagnose problems with its server, analyze
trends and administer our websites.
Generally, our service may automatically collect usage information, such
as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our websites and its components. This
data is used in the aggregate, as a statistical measure, and not ordinarily in a
manner that would identify you personally. This type of collective data enables us
to figure out how often users use parts of our websites, so we can make our
websites appealing to as many users as possible. In addition, we may provide
statistical information to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our
websites. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand
how often people use their areas and our websites, so that they, too, may provide
you with an optimal Web experience. We also collect and use information for
internal purposes. For example, if you are a registered user of the Hub Mag
email and/or subscription based services, we may keep records in your account
history of your complaints about other registered users online behavior, and any
reported violation of our Terms of Use that you or someone on your account may
have committed.
Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites
anonymously. While Hub Mag is not able to provide you with a personalized
experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these
programs are available.
C. Email Communications:
We may receive confirmation via HTML code when you open an email
from Hub Mag . We may also send out emails with news or promotions. If
you do not want to receive email or other mail from us, please notify us by email
at info@hub-mag.co.uk and include sufficient information for us to identify
your account.
D. Information from Other Sources:
For purposes such as improving personalization of our service, we may
receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information, including details of the purchases (and any associated returns) you
make at retailers where you were referred by us (excluding any credit card
information).
What about Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we may transfer to your computer’s hard
drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and
tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. Hub Mag 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.
The “help” portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on
how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the
browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies.
We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because
cookies enable you to take advantage of some of Hub Mag ’ most attractive features.
