How We Collect Information On You, and Why We Collect It
Each computer is set up with a unique number called an "IP address." We use this number to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic information, which we use to improve our site so that our users’ evolving needs are met. We
do not use "cookies," which are small text files that are stored on your hard drive, which is a standard in Internet activity.
Grandparents Magazine™’ registration form requires a user to provide contact information (such as your name,
mailing address and email address) and demographic information (such as your zip code). Contact information is used to inform you about changes and additional features and functionality as they are added to the site. Additional communications, from time to time, above and beyond regular newsletters may occur, as special items of interest are developed to meet the needs of the registered user community.
By registering you agree to receive our newsletter. Users may "opt-out" (decline the option) of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.
Members can update, change, correct, or remove their personal information by contacting our customer service department at
customerservice@GrandparentsMagazine.net.
Third-Party Relationships
Grandparents Magazine™ has relationships with outside parties in order to provide additional site content and various services to Grandparents Magazine™’ users. Any personal information is collected by Grandparents Magazine™, not by third parties. Grandparents Magazine™ does not share any personally identifiable information with any third party. However, we may share aggregated demographic information. Grandparents Magazine™ shares aggregate information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties. For example, we will say that Grandparents Magazine™’ audience is X% male, or that our members have an average number of Y grandchildren. With the exception of special cases, Grandparents Magazine™ will not disclose any private information that could be used to identify individual members. Special cases in which Grandparents Magazine™ would share personally identifiable information with a third party include when Grandparents Magazine™ has reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interfering with Grandparents Magazine™ rights or property, Grandparents Magazine™’ users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
The site does contain links to other websites. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving to another website. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites, as their privacy practices may differ from ours. In addition, some linked sites will display Grandparents Magazine™ banners and/or graphics making it appear they are part of the Grandparents Magazine™ website, but the user is actually on another website.
Sharing Information:
Grandparents Magazine™ policy is to not provide any confidential information on its members to outside parties. However, if you initiate transactions with third parties accessed through our site, you are providing information directly to those parties, which they may use in accordance with their own privacy policies. Once you access another site through a link on
GrandparentsMagazine.net, any data that you supply to these commerce partners to obtain information or buy products directly from them is beyond our reach and will be the responsibility of each of the linked-to entities and not GrandparentsMagazine.net. We do not have access to the information you give to these companies.
In the event that GrandparentsMagazine.net substantially changes the way it maintains your personally identifiable information, you will be notified via email.

GrandparentsMagazine.net has neither control of nor access to the information contained in our advertisers' cookies. To find out more about how these advertisers manage the privacy of information in conjunction with placing ads on
