What information does the Website gather and/or track about you?
Shared Information: In addition to personal information the Website gathers, the Website may also gather other information that may be used by SS or shared with third parties. While this information does not personally identify you, it may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer. Generally this information is collected through traffic data reports and may entail the use of "cookies," "IP addresses," or other numeric codes used to identify a computer and/or a computer user.  
Cookies: A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. The only personally identifiable information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser, and you can also set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies. To enhance your experience, the Website employs cookies to recognize you and to simplify your access privileges on our site, as well as to track site usage. Subscribers who do not accept cookies from the Website cannot access certain areas of the Website.

The Website uses advertising servers developed by third parties to display ads. Some of these ads may contain cookies that are set by third parties (i.e. advertising agencies or advertising clients). While the Website may have access to many of these cookies, and any information that they contain, the Website does not share any such cookies or information with any other third parties.  
We also contract with third-party vendors or to provide us with a data collection and reporting services regarding our users’ activities on the Website.

How can you “opt out” of providing personally identifying information?

You may “opt out altogether from providing personally identifying information to us by not registering as a user of the Website at the registration page and thereby not providing personal information.  You may also choose at a later date to have your name removed from our database by deleting your registration profile.  Certain portions of the Website and certain services provided on the Website, however, do require registration in order to access or use these areas and services.  If you choose not to register or provide mandatory information in the registration form, these areas will not be accessible to you.

What does the Web site do with the information it gathers and/or tracks?
Statistical Analyses and Banner Advertising: SS may perform statistical analyses of user behavior to measure interest in the various areas of the Website (for product development purposes) and to inform advertisers how many consumers have seen or clicked their advertising banners. SS also uses demographic information to allow advertising banners on the Website to be targeted, in aggregate, to readers for whom they are most pertinent. This means that readers see the advertising that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers send their messages to the people who are most likely to be receptive, improving both the viewer's experience and the effectiveness of the ads. In this statistical analyses and banner advertisement targeting, SS will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form.
E-mail: Using the e-mail addresses provided when you register as a user of the Website, the Website periodically may sends you information about the Website or its services or services offered by the Website’s advertisers.  SS may contact you regarding account status changes to the subscriber agreement and/or to confirm registration.
Occasionally, SS shares data collected about subscribers with third parties whose products or services we feel may be of interest to you. Many of our subscribers find these mail or e-mail promotions valuable, whether they are shopping for merchandise, taking advantage of a special offer, or purchasing unique services. You will only receive these e-mail promotions if you have "opted in," in other words, stated explicitly that you want to receive them during the registration process.

How does the Web site protect its content and user information?
Data Security: The Website takes commercially reasonable precautions to protect our users’ information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online, including encryption security for credit card submissions.

SS shares the information it gathers, in aggregate form, with advertisers and other partners. SS generally does not release personal information about you as an individual to third parties.  SS may share information about you, including personally identifying information, if sought by legal process or requested by law enforcement, or in order to protect the rights and property of SS or the safety of our users or the public, or to protect against unauthorized use of our site.
