Thank you for visiting ArtsyStuff Magazine on the Web, a NONUZ site. Your privacy
is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice
explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the
way your information is collected and used at this NONUZ site. |

The Information We Collect
At some NONUZ sites, you can order products, enter contests, vote in polls or
otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of our services such as our online
newsletters, or participate in one of our online forums or communities. The types
of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages
include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card
information, and information about your interests in and use of various products,
programs, and services.
At some other NONUZ sites, you can submit information about other people. For
example, you might submit a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic
greeting card and, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the
recipient, you might submit the recipient's name and address. The types of
personally identifiable information that may be collected about other people at
these pages include: recipient's name, address, e-mail address, and telephone
number.
At certain parts of some of our sites, only persons who provide us with the
requested personally identifiable information will be able to order products,
programs, and services or otherwise participate in the site's activities and
offerings.
We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you
visit many of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using (e.g.,
Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g.,
Windows '95 or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider
(e.g., America Online, Earthlink).

How We Use the Information
We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for
our products, programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries about
offerings, and to offer you other products, programs or services that we believe
may be of interest to you.
We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as to notify
you when you have won one of our contests or when we make changes to subscriber
agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter, or to contact
you about your account with us.
We use the information that you provide about others to enable us to send them
your gifts or cards. From time to time, we also may use this information to offer
our products, programs, or services to them.
If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., a "letter to our
editors"), we may publish your name and other information you have provided
to us.
The information we collect in connection with our online forums and communities
is used to provide an interactive experience. We use this information to
facilitate participation in these online forums and communities and, from time to
time, to offer you products, programs, or services.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to
improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalize your
Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze
site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.
We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for
example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such
information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.
Agents and contractors of NONUZ who have access to personally identifiable
information are required to protect this information in a manner that is
consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information for
any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for NONUZ.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized
disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable
information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is
inconsistent with this Privacy Notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for
example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for
access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of
correcting possible factual errors in the data.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and
Sponsors
Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information practices may be
different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy notices, as
we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these
third parties.
NONUZ sites sometimes may offer contests, sweepstakes, or promotions that are
sponsored by or co-sponsored with identified third parties. By virtue of their
sponsorship, these third parties may obtain personally identifiable information
that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the contest, sweepstakes, or
promotion. NONUZ has no control over the third-party sponsors' use of this
information. The NONUZ site will notify you at the time of requesting personally
identifiable information if third-party sponsors will obtain such information.
NONUZ sites may use reputable third parties to present or serve the
advertisements that you may see at its web pages and to conduct research about the
advertisements. Our privacy policy does not cover any use of information that such
third parties may have collected from you or the methods used by the third-parties

"cookies." Cookies are text files we place in your computer's browser to
store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address

information to us by, for example, registering at one of our sites. However, once
you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this
information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and

We may also use small pieces of code called "web beacons" or

such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses. These
"web beacons" may be used to deliver cookies that conform to our cookie
policy.
