What Information Is Collected and How is it Used?
A. What Information Do We Collect?
1. Personal Information: information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual, including: name, title, date of birth, unique identifier (e.g., account number), company name, job function, expertise, postal address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, geolocation and IP address. If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with our Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2. Non-Personal Information: any information that does not directly reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an identifiable individual. This might include pseudonymous identifiers and information, device information, non-precise geolocation, information collected through cookies and other tracking technologies, and web server log files to track trends, administer the Website, track user movement, and gather demographic information.
B. How Do We Collect the Information?
We will only collect and use Personal Information when a user voluntarily provides it to us, with the exception of your geolocation and IP address which may be automatically captured when you use our Website. In order to use some portions of our Website, a user must first complete a registration form or provide an e-mail address that will require disclosure of Personal Information. Such disclosure is strictly voluntary. In order to contact us by e-mail, however, you must provide an e-mail address.
We automatically collect non-Personal Information, including web server log files, generated from your use of our Website. We use this non-Personal Information in the aggregate. We do not combine these types of non-Personal Information with Personal Information. We may also share aggregated demographic information with our business partners, sponsors, advertisers, and companies that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with Buy Mags.
Cookies: We may place a “cookie” or other tracking or information gathering device used in the industry in the browser files of a user’s computer. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. We use cookies to collect information about your use of our Website, which enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. We also use cookies from third parties for marketing purposes (such as interest-based online advertising) that allow us to display Buy Mags promotional material to you on other sites you visit across the internet partners based on your visit to our Website. Third party cookies are covered by the third party’s privacy policy.
Users can set their browsers or third party software to reject cookies. If a user rejects the cookie, the user may be unable to use portions of our Website. Some of the third-party websites We provide links to also may use cookies. We have no control over these linked Website or access to or control over cookies or other technology used by linked websites.
The following is a list of the cookies, by type and purpose, that may be used across the Website:

You may be given the option by such Social Media Features to post information about your activities on our Website to a profile page of yours that is provided by a third party Social Media network in order to share with others within your network. Social Media Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Websites. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the relevant Social Media Features.

C. How Do We Use the Information?
We will use the Personal Information We collect for limited internal purposes that may include, but are not limited to, processing your transactions, establishing the identity of account holders, customer service, warranty services, and providing you with information concerning our services. We will retain this information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We also may use that Personal Information to improve and customize our content.
We use the non-Personal Information We collect, including web server log files, to track trends, administer the Website, track user movement, and gather demographic information.
We may use the Personal Information and non-Personal Information We collect by sharing it with third party agents, vendors, contractors, partners, or content providers of Buy Mags (collectively, “Contractors”) for purposes of managing purchases of our products and services, servicing our systems, data storage contact management, and obtaining support services for our businesses. We are not in the business of selling Personal Information to third parties or Contractors, and will share it with Contractors only as We describe in this Privacy Policy. In situations where We provide Personal Information to Contractors, We ensure access is granted to the Contractors only upon the condition that the Personal Information is kept confidential and is used only for carrying out the services these Contractors are performing for Buy Mags. As part of making that determination whether We will provide Personal Information to Contractors, We will obtain assurances that they will safeguard Personal Information consistently with this Privacy Policy.
We may share your usage data related to our Services with our affiliates for purposes of providing or improving our Services. We will not disclose any information about your usage data related to our Services to unaffiliated third-parties, except as necessary to enhance the product experience, service the legal agreement between us and your employer or affiliated institution under which you are provided access to our Services, to enforce the terms of use, to meet our contractual obligations to report aggregated usage data to content providers, or as required by law.
We also reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information if We are required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect or advance the rights, property, safety, or well-being of our company, our employees, customers, or the public.
We will not use your personal data for automated-decision making.
In the unlikely event that all or substantially all of Buy Mags’s assets are acquired, customer information, which may include Personal Information, may be one of the transferred assets unless restricted by applicable local law.
D. How Do We Secure Personal Information?
Buy Mags has taken steps to ensure that Personal Information collected in the future is secure, and We have limited the number of people who have access to the information, by electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Buy Mags provides links to third-party websites. These websites may not have the same privacy policies as Buy Mags. We take reasonable care in recommending these websites but We are not responsible for their content or privacy policies. We urge users to read the privacy statement of a third-party website when leaving our Website and linking to a third-party website.
We always use industry-standard technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that We have collected from you under this Privacy Policy.
