Policy amended 06 February 2001. Changes indicated in color.
the451 is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users. This is our policy regarding the privacy of information we collect on our site:
the451 gathers two types of data about users: personal information and tracking information.
Users provide personal information through all of our registration processes, and voluntarily at certain other times.
Tracking information is automatically collected about every visitor to the site, both subscribers and non-subscribers. the451 collects IP addresses through this system for administration purposes and to aggregate information about our users' browsing actions and patterns. We reserve the right to monitor user accounts for abuse based on IP address information.
We use cookies to identify visitors to the451 site and to build up a demographic profile. A cookie is small piece of information that a website puts on your hard disk so that it can remember something about you -- your preferences when visiting the451 -- at a later time. It allows the server to store its own information about you on your own computer.
We will not disclose any information we keep about you to any third parties and will only use it internally to improve the service we provide to you.
The collection and processing of personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Subscribers and visitors therefore acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.
