Thank you for visiting this site, or using our mobile device applications (the "Apps") or other services
(together with the Apps, the "Services"), Services within the network of SEMCO and its subsidiaries, each
of which have adopted this Privacy Policy. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy,
we provide this notice explaining our information practices and the choices you can make about the way
your information is collected and used by SEMCO and its subsidiaries. Click here for a list of the sites of
SEMCO and its subsidiaries which are governed by this Privacy Notice.
The Information We Collect
Through SEMCO publications, websites, and other media, you can order publications and products and
subscribe to one of our services, such as newsletters and 3rd Party E-mail. Your personally identifiable
information may be required to engage in these activities as well as to receive products and services that
you may have requested. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these
pages and elsewhere include but are not limited to: name, address, company, title, e-mail address,
telephone number, fax number and credit or debit card information.
We may also collect information about your personal or professional interests and use of or opinions
about various products, programs and services. For instance, we may ask you to identify your job or
industry to qualify you for free business magazines.
At some SEMCO sites and through certain promotions, you can submit information about other people.
For example, you might submit a person's name, mailing and/or e-mail address to send a free
subscription or invite them to subscribe to our newsletters. The types of personally identifiable
information that may be collected about other people at these pages include: recipient's name, address,
e-mail address and telephone number.
We may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our web pages or use
our applications, such as the type of browser and operating system you are using, your IP address, your
device identifiers, your Internet or wireless service provider, and location-based information.
How We Use the Information
We may use the information you provide about yourself or others to fulfill requests for our publications,
products or services, to respond to inquiries about offerings and to offer other products, programs or
services that may be of interest.
We may combine information we receive with outside records and share such information with third
parties for use on our behalf to enhance our ability to market to you those products or services that may
be of interest to you.
We may disclose personally identifiable information that we receive from you and from third party
sources to third parties whose practices are not covered by this privacy statement (e.g., other marketers,
magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases, and non-profit organizations) that want to market
products or services to you.
When you request a magazine, service, or other product, we will forward the information you give us to
the publisher or provider to the extent necessary to fulfill your request. They may contact you with
special offers of possible interest.
We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as when we make changes to
subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter, or to contact you about your
subscription.
If you choose to submit content (e.g., a "letter to our editors" or an online review), we may publish your
name, screen name and other information you have provided to us. You hereby consent to this.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and
content of our publications and websites, and to enable us to customize your Internet experience. We
also may use this information to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or
services.
We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a
court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement
agency's request.
Agents and contractors of SEMCO that have access to personally identifiable information are required to
protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using
the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for SEMCO.
We may transfer your personally identifiable information to other SEMCO offices for internal management
and administrative purposes on our behalf. Your personal data will be transferred to other SEMCO offices
where necessary for the performance or conclusion of our contractual obligations to you or for your
benefit. To the extent not prohibited under applicable law, transfers and disclosures of personally
identifiable information may also be made where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of
legal claims, to protect the rights and property of SEMCO, our agents, customers, and others, including to
enforce our agreements, policies, and terms of use; or to protect the personal safety of any person.
Please note that if SEMCO or any of its subsidiaries or lines of business is merged, acquired, divested,
financed, sold, disposed of or dissolved, including through merger of, consolidation, sale or divestiture of
assets, the relevant customer database, including personally identifiable information we may possess
about you, may, in whole or in part, be sold, disposed of, transferred, divested, or otherwise disclosed as
part of that transaction or proceeding.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we
cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a
manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example,
when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable
information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.

SEMCO sites will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated
to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated
uses.
Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors
Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours.
SEMCO also allows you to connect with other sites and services in order to share content and
information. You should consult the other sites' and services' privacy notices, as we have no control over
information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties or their use of your information.
SEMCO sites sometimes may offer contests, sweepstakes, promotions, editorial features, or other
activities or offerings that are sponsored or co-sponsored by or presented with identified third parties. By
virtue of your participation in such activities or offerings, your IP address and the personally identifiable
information that you voluntarily submit may be provided to both the SEMCO site and the third parties.
SEMCO has no control over the third parties' use of this information.
SEMCO sites may use reputable third parties to present or serve advertisements, including online
behavioral advertisements, that you may see on the web pages and to conduct research about the
advertisements. This privacy notice does not cover any use of information that such third parties may
have collected from you (e.g., type of browser, operating system, domain name, day and time of visit,
page(s) visited) or the methods used by the third-parties to collect that information (e.g., cookies, web
beacons and clear gifs).
Cookies
To enhance your experience on our Services, we may place "cookies" on your computer or device.
Cookies are small text files that we place in your computer or device to store your preferences. Cookies,
by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personal information unless you choose to
provide this information to us by, for example, registering with one of our Services. Once you choose to
provide us with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. A
cookie assigns a unique numerical identifier to your Web browser or device, and may enable us to
recognize you as the same user who has used our Services, and relate your use of the Services to other
information about you, such as your usage information and personal information.
We use cookies (and Local Shared Objects, HTML5, cache cookies, web beacons, or clear gifs, all
described further below) to understand usage of the Services and to improve our content and offerings
and to deliver advertisements that you might be interested in. For example, we may use cookies to
personalize your experience on our Services (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to our site,
to save your password in password-protected areas, to enable shopping carts, or to tailor content or
product and service offerings).
Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser option so that you will not receive
cookies and you can also delete existing cookies from your browser. However, you may find that some
parts of the site will not function properly if you have refused cookies or similar tracking technologies and
you should be aware that disabling cookies or similar tracking technologies might prevent you from
accessing some of our content. However, your viewing of editorial content may be hampered. If you wish
to block cookies, go to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ to find out how, or check your browser.s
instructions.
Local Shared Objects: Local shared objects, such as .Flash cookies,. also may be stored on your computer
or device. Local shared objects operate a lot like cookies, but cannot be managed in the same way.
Depending on how local shared objects are enabled on your computer or device, you may be able to
manage them using software settings. For information on managing Flash cookies, for example,
see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable-local-shared-objects-flash.html.
HTML 5: HTML5, the language some Web sites are coded in, may be used to store information on your
computer or device about your Service usage activities. This information may be retrieved by us to help
us manage our Services, such as by giving us information about how our Services are being used by our
visitors, how they can be improved, and to customize them for our users.
Cache Cookies: Cache cookies, such as eTags, may be used to identify your computer or device as the
same computer or device that visited a Service or Services in the past.
Web Beacons: Our websites may also use small pieces of code called "web beacons" or "clear gifs" to
collect anonymous and aggregate advertising metrics, such as counting page views, promotion views, or
advertising responses. A web beacon is an electronic image called a single-pixel or clear GIF. Web
beacons can recognize certain types of information, such as a user's cookie number, time and date of a
page view, and description of the page where the web beacon is placed. These web beacons may be
used to deliver cookies that conform to our cookie policy above.
These tracking technologies may be deployed by us and/or by our service providers or partners on our
behalf. These technologies enable us to assign a unique number to you, and relate your Service usage
information to other information about you, including your personal information. We may match
information collected from you through different means or at different times, including both personal
information and Service usage information, and use such information along with offline and online
information obtained from other sources (including third parties) such as demographic information and
updated contact information (where that information has been lawfully disclosed to us) for the purposes
of learning more about you so we can provide you with relevant content.
Our Commitment to Security
We have put in place appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use the information we collect. No system can
be completely secure, however, and we do not guarantee that unauthorized disclosures and access will
not happen.
Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Personal Information
We will take reasonable steps to accurately record the personal information that you provide to us and
any subsequent updates.
We encourage you to review, update, and correct the personal information that we maintain about you,
and you may request that we delete personal information about you that is inaccurate, incomplete, or
irrelevant for legitimate purposes, or are being processed in a way which infringes any applicable legal
requirements, by contacting us as set out in the "How to Contact Us" section below. At our election,
instead of deleting such information, we may retain it with your comment or correction noted in our
records. By contacting us, you may also object to our further use of your personal information if you have
compelling legitimate grounds (this may involve closing your account). We may ask you to verify your
identity and to provide other details before we are able to provide you with any information, correct any
inaccuracies, or delete any information. Your right to review, update, correct, and delete your personal
information may be limited, subject to the law or your jurisdiction: (i) if your requests are abusive or
unreasonably excessive, (ii) where the rights or safety of another person or persons would be encroached
upon, or (iii) if the information or material you request relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings
between you and us, or providing access to you would prejudice negotiations between us or an
investigation of possible unlawful activity. Your right to review, update, correct and delete your
information is subject to our records retention policies and applicable law, including any statutory
retention requirements.
Retention of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information while you have an account with us and thereafter for as long as
we need it for purposes not prohibited by applicable laws. Thereafter, we will either delete your personal
information or de-identify it so that it is anonymous and not attributed to your identity. Your rights to
request that we delete your personal information are set forth in the "Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting
Your Personal Information" section above.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be changed by SEMCO The revised Privacy Policy will be posted to this page so

disclose it.
