Consumer Information Collection Policies

What information we collect and why we collect it

Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media collect contact information about you in order to:

contact you about your subscription.
alert you when a new digital issue has been released.
send you industry news and updates via our newsletters.
collect industry data through surveys.
inform you of other publications, websites, newsletters, events and products offered by Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media.
send special offers and announcements from our advertisers and other industry partners.

We use your professional qualifications, including business name, business type, job title and services provided or products sold, to demonstrate audience value to our advertisers and to send appropriate offers, such as events in which someone with your professional qualifications might be interested.

Email Communications: We use a third-party service to deploy bulk email communications, such as subscription renewals, newsletters, surveys, promotions about other products we offer and promotions from our advertisers and industry partners. Through this service we can determine individuals who have opened our messages and what links they have clicked within the message. We can use this information to target follow-up messages, such as sending a second renewal request to subscribers who did not open the original message.

If you have provided us with your email address and reside in the United States and its territories, Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media may automatically subscribe you free of charge to any email products, including e-newsletters or digital editions, in which we think you may be interested. We may also send you email about products or services from approved third parties.

You Can Control How We Use Your Email Information

You may unsubscribe from specific products, such as an e-newsletter, by clicking "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of the message. If you wish to unsubscribe from ALL email from Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media, click on the "Email Preferences" link in the email footer. You may also contact us by email address or phone, and we will be happy to comply with your requests.

Personal Information Collected Through the Internet

We use third-party analytics software to track and improve the performance of our websites. Although this software collects information about you, such as IP address, domain name, HTTP addresses visited and system and browser information, we do not have access to data about individuals. All we see are anonymous summaries, such as “20 people visited the home page of beautylaunchpad.com, and 15 of those did so on a mobile device.”

We also use third-party ad tracking software, which uses information about pages or content you’ve viewed to serve ads customized to your interests. Again, the only information we receive from this software are anonymous summaries.

Cookies: This software creates cookies on our behalf—snippets of text stored on your device used to control the display of ads, to track usage patterns on the websites, and to record registration and personalization information. These cookies may contain personally identifiable information.

If you don't want to accept cookies, your web browser probably includes an option that rejects them. However, if you set your browser to reject cookies, some portions of our websites may not function properly.

Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media websites may contain links or hyperlinks to other websites not owned or operated by Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.

If information you've volunteered, such as survey information, is being collected for possible publication, that intention will be stated clearly in the information request.

Cooperative sweepstakes

There are also times when you provide information about yourself to us in areas of a Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media website that are managed or participated in by third parties, such as cooperative sweepstakes sponsored by selected industry partners. In such cases, the information you provide will be collected by us and provided to the sponsoring third party. Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media are not responsible for the policies or practices of these third parties.

Selling Your Personal Information

We also reserve the right to sell your contact information, such as your postal address and phone number, to outside companies through a recognized list management firm. These outside companies purchase our lists in order to promote products or services they think you might find interesting. We approve each such transaction, and we limit the company’s use of your information.

Your email information is NOT provided to outside companies. Either Creative Age/DC Media/DC Communications or our contracted list management company deploys all messages from outside companies interested in reaching you.

Storing your information

We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities, including those of our contracted independent agents, to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our websites.

Personal data we collect is processed and securely stored by third-party companies, including a subscription processing service, and an email service provider, all of which are contractually bound as independent agents to ensure the security of this data. These companies are contractually prohibited from sharing personal information from our audience to other companies without express authorization from Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media.

If you provide credit card and other financial information in connection with the online purchase of goods and/or services from Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media, this information is used only to process the payments through a secure PCI-compliant service and is not stored by Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media.

Demographic data from outside sources

From time to time, Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media may utilize a third-party database to add information such as business size, and estimated business revenue to our customer's records. This data is used in aggregate to demonstrate value to our advertisers, as well as to target editorial and advertising content to our audience's individual interests.

How long we keep your data

We keep your data, including your requests to subscribe or unsubscribe to various products, on file indefinitely or until you request that we delete your personal information from our databases.

How to Make a Request About Your Information

Use our Email Preference Center to choose what email messages you would like to receive, including opting out of all email messages from us. This link may be found on our websites in the Subscriber Service area or at the foot of every bulk email we send.
Use the Personal Data Request form on our websites to ask us for a copy of all information we have stored on you. You may also use this form to request that we delete all such information.
Use the Do Not Sell My Information link on our websites to request that we do not sell your information to other outside companies interested in promoting their services or products to you.
You many also contact our Subscriber Service department by phone at 800.624.4196 (818.782.7328) or contact the circulation director at service@creativeage.com.

Minors

All Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media websites, except nailitmag.com, are business-to-business websites. Nailitmag.com is a business-to-consumer website.

We encourage persons under the age of 18 to consult with their legal guardians before providing any information through any Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media websites. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under 13 we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

Sharing customer information with public or governmental authorities

There may also be occasions when we are required by law, legal process, litigation and/or requests from public or governmental authorities to provide access to our databases, or to disclose information about you. We may also choose to disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our operations or users, or to enforce our terms and conditions. In those instances, the information is provided only for that purpose.

In the event that Creative Age, DC Communications and DC Media are acquired by, merge with, and/or sell its assets to a third party, or becomes aligned with another company or business entity, we may transfer any and all information we collect to the relevant third party, who shall be entitled to use this information, as set forth in the Privacy Policy.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not disclosed in this privacy notice. If our Privacy Policy changes at some time in the future, we shall post the changes to our websites to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for monitoring our websites to determine if any changes have been made the Privacy Policy. Your use of the websites after the date of any such change shall be deemed to confirm your acceptance of the Privacy Policy then in effect. If you are concerned about how your information is used, we recommend that you periodically check the Privacy Policy on the website of the magazine to which you subscribe or call 800.624.4196 or 1-760.317.2345.
