The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and to let the recipient know who sent the story.

 

Occasionally we conduct user surveys to better target our offerings to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our subscribers. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

Email Updates: Subscribers may receive various email updates that are sent out, containing selected material. We may provide from time to time message boards for user discussion of various topics. Although any user may read messages posted to the boards, only registered users are permitted to post on the boards.

We may use tracking information to determine which areas our site users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather the technical performance of our delivery. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We may create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for partners. This allows us to notify you more effectively, and allows our users to receive material that is pertinent to their needs. We may allow select partners and associates to mail promotions of related material to registrants and newsletter recipients who have given us their permission to any direct or indirect access to your details without your permission. All such promotions are pre-approved by us and all mailings are conducted by ourselfes to ensure the names are not mis-used.
