INFORMATION
4 Remarkable Service GATHERS AND TRACKS
We gathers
two types of information about users:
- Information
that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions.
These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic
newsletters, to request additional information, to email
a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
- Information
4 Remarkable Service gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout
our sites. This information allows us to better tailor
our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers
and sponsors better understand the demographics of our
audience. Under no circumstances does 4 Remarkable Service
divulge any information about an individual user to a
third party.

Remarkable Service Gathers
User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some
type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We
will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. 4 Remarkable
Service gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily
subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing
list by following the link provided in every newsletter
that points users to the subscription management page.
2. "E-mail
this to a friend" policy
Our
newsletter readers can choose to electronically
forward them to someone else by clicking "Forward
to a friend". The user must provide their email address,
as well as that of the recipient. This information is used
only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to
let the recipient know who sent the email. The information
is not used for any other purpose.
3.
Surveys
4
Remarkable Service may
occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our
content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated
demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors,
advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information
about specific individuals with any third party.
4.
Request Additional Information.
4
Remarkable Service gathers information if a user wishes
to receive additional information about our services. This
information is only used to contact the user and help them
in learning about our services. We never share any of this
information with a third party.

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13
without requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
4
Remarkable Service tracks user traffic
patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about individual users.
4
Remarkable Service does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME
type by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
4
Remarkable Service sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms
that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking
is never associated with individual users. We use tracking
information to determine which areas of our sites users like
and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a
better service for you.
Cookies
We
may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain
Personal Information although it will enable us to relate
your use of this site to information that you have specifically
and knowingly provided. But the only personal information
a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself.
A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites. 4

user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising
system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions
and click rates.

USE OF INFORMATION
4
Remarkable Service uses any information voluntarily given by our
users to enhance their experience in our network of sites,
whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on
the sites or to better prepare future content based on the
interests of our users.
As
stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to
enable users to request additional information. We send
out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending
on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions
when we think subscribers might be particularly interested
in something we are doing. 4
Remarkable Service never shares newsletter
mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas
of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to
those areas. We do not track what individual users read,
but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps
us continue to build a better service for you. We track search
terms entered in Search function as one of many measures
of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms
a particular user enters.
4
Remarkable Service creates aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners.
This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively,
and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent
to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns
of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never
know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose
any information about any individual user except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect
the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
4
Remarkable Service uses the above-described information
to tailor our content to suit your needs and help us to
better understand our audience. We will not share
information about individual users with any third party,
except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process
or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
4
Remarkable Service operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security
and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced
as necessary and only authorized individuals have access
to the information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical.
Such choices include:
- Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
- Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather
any personally identifiable information from our users
