Privacy Policy
Please read this carefully before using the Website (that is, any site operated
by Bedford Communications). It is your responsibility to read the Privacy Policy.
The
Basic Principles
By accessing and using the Website you are agreeing to be legally bound by
the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy. You should therefore also read
the Terms of Use before using the Website.
Bedford Communications is determined to protect your privacy. It is very important
to us that you should be able to use and enjoy the Website without having to
compromise your privacy unacceptably.
Information Collection
We automatically collect some data about our users' browsing actions and patterns.
This is aggregate data and does not identify any individual. We may, however,
ask you to provide personal information on a voluntary basis in order to
get a clearer picture of our users. It is then entirely up to you whether
or not you wish to divulge such information.
In the course of entering competitions, promotions and other online offers
you will be asked to give some details about yourself. You may also choose
to e-mail us or get in contact with us in other ways; such contact gives us
information about yourself.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services,
special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users
we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please
see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
We use aggregate audience details (where no individual is identifiable) to
help us improve our understanding of our users and their preferences. We use
this to assist us in arranging relevant advertising, commercial opportunities
and competitions, as well as ensuring the best editorial coverage. It also
enhances our ability to develop the Website and audit its use.
To enable the purchase of magazine subscriptions, the Website collects and
stores billing and credit card information. This information will only be shared
with third parties who perform tasks required to complete the purchase transaction.
Examples of this include fulfilling orders and processing credit card payments.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to the Website at the point where
we ask for information.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose
personal information when required by law, wherein we have a good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding,
a court order or legal process served on the Website.
Further Information
If you have any comments, would like further information, or wish to communicate
with us about this Privacy Policy and your wishes about your personal information,
