Holtarian collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Holtarian's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Holtarian's visitors use its websites. Occasionally, Holtarian may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its websites. Holtarian also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Holtarian does not use such information to identify its visitors, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

You give information to us directly when, for example, you register for a subscription or newsletter, purchase a product from us, disclose information in response to a survey, apply for a job, or contact our customer service department. Through the Services, you can, among other activities, order publications and products, including print and digital subscriptions and newsletters; sign up for events; engage in various activities including entering contests or sweepstakes, voting in polls, or otherwise expressing an opinion or participate in one of our online forums or communities. Some of the information we request from you is required in order for you to use our Services.

Please ensure that you notify the person whose information you are providing to us. Please remember that any information you disclose in any public forum or community areas becomes public information and is immediately accessible to other users, so it is important for you to carefully consider what, if any, information you reveal in these areas.

Cookies are small text files that are placed in your computer or device to store your preferences. Other information you provide to us may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. A cookie assigns a unique numerical identifier to your Web browser or device, and may enable us to recognize you as the same user who has used our Services, and relate your use of the Services to other information about you. Holtarian uses cookies to help Holtarian identify and track visitors, their usage of Holtarian websites, and their website access preferences. Holtarian visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Holtarian's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Holtarian's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Holtarian may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors on our websites. For instance, Holtarian may monitor the most popular articles on Holtarian.com. Holtarian may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Holtarian does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this privacy policy.

Holtarian discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Holtarian's behalf or to provide services available at Holtarian's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Holtarian's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. In addition, in some cases we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Holtarian or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Holtarian goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquiror of Holtarian may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy. Otherwise, Holtarian will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Holtarian discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Holtarian believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Holtarian, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Holtarian website and have supplied your email address, Holtarian may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Holtarian and its products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Holtarian takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. You should also be aware that if you submit information to “chat rooms,” “forums” or “message boards” such information becomes public information, meaning that you lose any privacy rights you might have with regards to that information. Such disclosures may also increase your chances of receiving unwanted communications.
