What information does INsider collect and why?
We collect information you provide when you place an order, register with us, send us an e-mail or call us, enter a sweepstakes or enroll in a club or service. This information may include:
• Your name
• Your mailing address
• Your e-mail address
• Your phone number
• Your credit card number
• Your INsider Advantage Card number

Who does INsider share information with?
We share personal customer information with our agents, representatives, trusted service providers, and contractors for limited purposes. Those purposes may be fulfilling customer orders; offering products and services in connection with our website; customer service; giving access to our partners' sites; or finishing credit card transactions. These third parties are not allowed to use this information. They can only fulfill orders and service your questions.
From time to time, we may share the contact information of our customers with carefully picked and trustworthy third parties so the third parties can promote their products and services. You can opt out from our sharing of your information for this particular purpose anytime by changing the preferences of your account at INsidermag.net. You can also call 1-847-673-3703 and ask to be taken off our business partner promotions listing.
INsider reserves the right to work with law enforcement officials in the investigation of any possible unlawful activities of our customers related to electronic communication transmitted on our site. INsider will have no legal responsibilities for such disclosures. We may also give information to other groups for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We may share grouped demographic and statistical information with our other partners. No personal information that can identify any individual person is shown in that disclosure.

Your California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as S.B. 27, allows individual customers who have provided their personal information to INsider to request information about our disclosures of certain categories of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Such requests must be submitted to us in one of the following ways: send a letter to INsider Consumer Care; P.O. Box 211, Glencoe, IL 60022; or call 1-847-673-3703. Within thirty days of receiving such a request, we will provide a list of the categories of personal information disclosed to third parties for third party direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted to locations other than those specified above.

How does INsider handle contest and survey responses?
Every now and then, INsider or it's research partners will invite customers to take part in contests and surveys. The information we collect from these contests and surveys may be matched with individual customer accounts and used by INsider to improve your overall customer experience. The information will only be shared with third parties in grouped form.

What if I am an affiliate partner?
If you sign up to be a INsidermag.net affiliate partner, you will be led to a third party website. This website manages the affiliate process. The third party is not allowed to use information they get for anything other than running the affiliate process.

What technical devices and processes does INsidermag.net use to collect information about me?
Our technology lets us identify what type of browser you are using, the website from which you enter INsidermag.net and the pages you view as you tour our site. This technology helps us compile grouped statistics about online guests and their use of INsidermag.net. These statistics allow us to improve the design and content of our site to better serve your needs.
INsidermag.net uses cookies to provide features like auto-login and to determine when customers have visited our site before. If your browser is set to reject cookies, we cannot make auto-login available to you.
Like most websites, the servers that serve our website automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We log IP addresses and we use them to track things like the number of people that visit our website.

Does INsider use third parties?
Additionally, INsider uses the services of Google, MSN, Doubleclick and Yahoo! for the serving of ads, promotions and other marketing messages. To do this, MSN, Doubleclick and Yahoo! collect anonymous data from this site through the use of cookies. This anonymous data is also used to develop aggregate reports on our customer's reactions to ad campaigns and to learn more about our general audience so we may provide only the most relevant offers and promotions.

How do I access and change my e-mail preferences?
When you make an INsidermag.net account, it automatically shows that you want to get promotional information from INsider about news on INsider products, services, and events. It also indicates that you would like to be told about special offers, products and free samples from INsider partners.
If you do not want to be contacted by INsider for promotional purposes, you may indicate your preference when you sign up. Or you may indicate your preference by clicking the “Your Account” link at the top of any page on INsidermag.net. After that, log in and choose “Personal Profile.” To change your e-mail preference, uncheck the box next to the line that says, "Send me INsidermag.net e-mail about INsider gifts."

How do I access and change my personal information?
You can change or delete your personal information anytime. Simply go to the “Your Account” link located at the top of the INsidermag.net homepage. You can update any of your personal information by choosing what information you would like to update.

How secure is the information that I give to INsider?
What technology does INsidermag.net use to ensure the security of credit card transactions?
We seek high standards in credit card security to better protect the information you give us when you shop on INsidermag.net. Our servers use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to protect storage and transference of your data from wrongful parties. We also use a digital secure server ID to give you more security when you are on the Internet.

How secure is my INsidermag.net account information?
To protect your account information, INsidermag.net asks that you enter a valid user name and password before buying anything using your account information. If you choose to store your credit card information with your user account, the full credit card number will never be shown through your web browser again. All credit card information will be cleared any time your account is reset.
INsider also has security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and change of your information. Only certain employees and agents of INsidermag.net have access to this information. This information is only used for completing your order.

Does INsidermag.net ensure the security and privacy practices of other sites it links to?
While we carefully select the websites we link to, we are not at fault for the privacy practices or content of these websites. You are under the privacy policy of the operator of that site when you give personal information to them, not the INsider privacy policy. Please read the policy of that site before sharing any information.

How will I know when INsider changes its privacy policy?
Our privacy policy is regularly reviewed to make sure we continue to serve the privacy interests and needs of our customers. If we decide to change our privacy policy in whole or in part, we will inform you by posting a notice on our website. Those changes will go into effect on the date posted in the notice. The new policy will apply to all current and past users of our website, and will replace any prior policies that are inconsistent. You should check our website occasionally for more information on how we use the data we collect.
