MyLocalPaper.com knows that you care how information about you

What Personal Information About Customers Does MyLocalPaper.com
Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your experience at MyLocalPaper.com. Here are the types
of information we gather.
Information You Give Us
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give
us in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such
purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future visits for
you, improving our service, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact
with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies,"
and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses
MyLocalPaper.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed
to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able
to provide you with a personalized experience at MyLocalPaper.com
if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
E-mail Communications
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive
a confirmation when you open e-mail from MyLocalPaper.com if your
computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list
to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending
unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail
or other mail from us, please adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.
Information from Partners
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example,
making special offers regarding your particular charity program or newspaper),
we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to
our account information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and
address information from our partners or other sources so that we can
correct our records and communicate more easily.
What About Cookies?
-
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers
that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser
to enable our systems to recognize your browser.
-
The "help" portion
of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser
from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you
receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies
allow you to take full advantage of MyLocalPaper.com, and we recommend
that you leave them turned on.
Does MyLocalPaper.com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business,
and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer
information only within the affiliated Web sites of Newspaper Subscription
Services LLC of which MyLocalPaper.com is a subsidiary.
Agents
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include fulfilling orders, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive
information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance,
processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They
have access to personal information needed to perform their functions,
but may not use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other related
entities. In such transactions, customer information generally is one
of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that Newspaper
Subscription Services, or substantially all of its assets are acquired,
customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of MyLocalPaper.com and Others
We release account and other personal information when
we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of MyLocalPaper.com, our users, or others.
This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations
for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
With Your Consent
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about
you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose
not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?

of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer
