The privacy of your information is of extreme importance to us. The following are the privacy policies of Guide to the Magic.

Guide to the Magic collects personal and non-personal information when you communicate with us over the Internet or subscribe to our newsletter.

The Personal Information Collected
Personal information is information that is unique to you, such as your name and e-mail address. The following are the ways in which we collect personal information:

· Subscriptions
You have the opportunity to receive our newsletter via e-mail. When you sign up for this service, you will be asked to provide us with your e-mail address.

· Submission of Tips, Comments and Other Information
You have the opportunity to submit tips and comments at various places on our site. In doing so you may be asked for your name. Additionally, if you communicate with us via email you will be supplying us with your email address.

How Personal Information Is Used
If you opt-in to an email newsletter subscription we will ONLY use your information to deliver the newsletter to your email address. Guide to the Magic will NOT, under any circumstances, sell or rent your personal information to any third parties.

You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at anytime by following the unsubscribe instructions that appear in each email that you will receive from Guide to the Magic.

If you submit a tip or comment via an online form, you will have the opportunity to include your name so that you can receive acknowledgment for your submission on our website. This is strictly optional and in no way will impact the chances of your submission being published on our site. You are free to submit your full name, first name or nickname (or no name) at your discretion.

If you communicate with us via email we will ONLY use your information in the course of our correspondence. Guide to the Magic will NOT, under any circumstances, sell or rent your personal information to any third parties.

Objectionable Content
Guide to the Magic is a family oriented website, and as such reserves the right to edit or reject submissions that are inflammatory, profane, vulgar, or otherwise not suitable for everyone, at the sole discretion of the editors. Guide to the Magic will also not tolerate flaming, insults or other forms of abuse directed at fellow visitors to the website.

Security
Because security is important to us, we exercise care in providing secure transmission of your personal information before it is transferred across the Internet from your personal computer to our secure servers. We use industry-standard, secure-socket-layer (SSL) technology, which is utilized by most popular browsers, including Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, to encrypt (or convert into code) most of your personal information before it is transferred across the Internet.

Remember when making a purchase through a third party website to close your browser window when you have finished in order to ensure that others cannot access your personal information. If you have concerns about the protection and security of your personal information when making an online transaction, be sure to review the privacy policies of the site you are on. Guide to the Magic is not responsible for the security of your personal information when you are on a third party site. You should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet.

Other, Non-Personal Information Collected and Used
Like many other Internet sites, we automatically collect non-personal information regarding our visitors, such as software client information (for example, IP addresses, browser versions and operating systems) and aggregate information (for example, number of pages accessed) in order to analyze Web traffic and usage trends. Information of this nature does not pertain to your specific identity and is not associated with your personal information.

To enhance your experience on our Web pages, our third party advertiser(s) commonly employ Internet technologies, such as "cookies," to collect and store non-personal information about their visitors. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are transferred by a website and stored by your Web browser on your computer's hard drive. With most browsers, you can set the preferences to show a warning each time a cookie request is received. You can also set the browser not to accept cookies at all. However, because other websites won't be able to personalize your experience if they cannot recognize you, we suggest that you allow your browser to accept cookies.

We may also provide to third parties information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted, including where such information is combined with similar information about other users. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who have visited Guide to the Magic and the demographic breakdown of our user community.

What Is Not Covered By This Privacy Policy
Except as stated above, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices or policies of any third parties, such as companies or entities that we do not own or control, and does not apply to any links to sites that are not maintained by us, or to people that we do not employ or manage.
