| The following Privacy Policy governs AIMAG.com’s online information collection practices. Specifically, it outlines the types of information that AIMAG.com gathers about you while you are using the AIMAG.com website (the "Service"), and the ways in which AIMAG.com uses and doesn’t use this information. This Privacy Policy, including the children’s privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means (for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail). In addition, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any activities (online or otherwise) of the American Iron print magazine. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting the AIMAG.com website, you agree that your use of our Service, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. Because the Web is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we'll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the AIMAG.com website after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified. Your California Privacy Rights California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our customers who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of personal information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to: Online Privacy Coordinator

Stamford, CT 06905 What Information is Collected About Visitors? The information that AIMAG.com collects about you while you are using the Service falls into two general categories: -
Information You Provide to Us. AIMAG.com may collect and store information, personal or otherwise, that you voluntarily supply either while on the AIMAG.com website or in responding via email in connection with a feature provided on the AIMAG.com website. Some examples of this type of information include demographic information that you electronically submit when you sign up for access to certain features on the Service, information (such as your name or email address) that you electronically submit when you register for surveys, sweepstakes or contests on the AIMAG.com website, information that you post on message boards on the AIMAG.com website, and information contained in search requests or questions that you submit to the AIMAG.com website. If you decline to supply or provide AIMAG.com with certain information while using the Service, you may not be able to use or participate in some or all of the features offered through the Service. -
Information that is Automatically Collected. AIMAG.com also collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the AIMAG.com website. For example, to enhance your experience on the AIMAG.com website, AIMAG.com uses a standard feature found in browser software called a "cookie." Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the AIMAG.com site, cookies help us track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the AIMAG.com site where you have entered preference information before. AIMAG.com also uses web beacons (also known as “single-pixel GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the AIMAG.com site or open AIMAG.com’s HTML-formatted email messages. Another example of information that AIMAG.com automatically collects as you navigate the AIMAG.com site is information about your computer's connection to the Internet. This information allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the AIMAG.com site. In addition, third party advertisers or third party ad servers that place and present advertising on the Service also may collect information from you via cookies, web beacons, clear .gifs or similar technologies. These third party advertisers and ad servers may use the information they collect to help present their advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements' effectiveness, or for other uses. The use and collection of your information by these third party advertisers and ad servers is governed by the relevant third party’s privacy policy and is not covered by our privacy policy. Indeed, the privacy policy of these third party advertisers and ad servers may be different from our privacy policy. How is this Information Used? AIMAG.com uses the information it collects from you while you are using the Service in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize features and advertising that appear on the AIMAG.com website. We want you to feel secure knowing that any information you supply us over the web or by phone is strictly confidential, and will not be shared with any third parties. Bottom Line: We NEVER give or sell your personal info to any other company. AIMAG.com will not use the information that it collects online from you while you are using the Service, nor will AIMAG.com authorize third parties to use such information, to mail or email promotional offers directly to you unless you have specifically informed AIMAG.com that you would like to receive promotional offers from AIMAG.com. Please also keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by third parties online – for example on message boards, through email or web logs, or in chat areas – that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides AIMAG.com. AIMAG.com cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third party use of such information. The AIMAG.com website includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or purchase third party products or services through the Service, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services. We also make some content, products and services available through our Service through cooperative relationships with third party providers, where the brands of our provider partner appear on the Service in connection with such content, products and/or services. We may share with our provider partner any information you provide, or that is collected, in the course of visiting any pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner. In some cases, the provider partner may collect information from you directly; in which cases the privacy policy of the provider partner may apply to the provider partner’s use of your information. The privacy policy of our provider partners may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of one of our provider partners, you should contact the provider partner directly for more information. In addition, certain affiliated TAM Communications divisions, such as the ROAD BIKE print magazine, or GREASERAG.com web site, provide online services that are separate from our Service and may be subject to privacy policies that are different from ours. If you have any question about the privacy policy that applies to the online service you are using, you should click on the relevant link on the page of the service that you are using. Be aware that AIMAG.com may occasionally release information about visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Terms of Service agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, the public, or AIMAG.com. Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that AIMAG.com, some or all of our assets, or our site is acquired by another company, information about our visitors may be among the transferred assets.
