PHCS collects personally
identifying information only during
(i) contests or
(ii) subscription registration. In addition, information is collected in
certain portions of the service in which users specifically and knowingly provide such
information along with content submissions, community postings (i.e., chat or bulletin
boards), suggestions, or voting. PHCS may use such information for its internal purposes,
including but not limited to editorial and feedback purposes. In the event PHCS plans to
publicly post any such information on a site, users are provided prior notification of
such posting. Information submitted at the time of registration or submission may be used
for marketing and promotional purposes by PHCS and may be shared with companies that have
been pre-screened by PHCS. If a user objects to such use for any reason, he/she may stop
that use -- either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her registration information
online.
Cookies are pieces of
information that a Web site transfers to an
individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes while at the site.
Cookies make Web-surfing easier by, among other things, saving your passwords, purchases,
and preferences for you. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and you'll find
cookies at most major Web sites.
Cookies help make PHCS
better, by showing how and when users use the site. Many content improvements and updates
are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is
most easily tracked with cookies.
Here are some other
examples of how PHCS uses cookies:
A cookie lets the SERVICE remember that you've registered, which allows you to access it
without reentering the login information. The cookie itself does not contain any
personally identifying information although it may enable PHCS to relate a user's use of
the service to personally identifying information that has previously been submitted by
the user, if any. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you
can set yours to refuse cookies. However, it is likely that most areas of the site will
not function properly if you do so.
PHCS reserves the right to
change this policy at any time by notifying users, through a notice posted on the Service
or by email, of the existence of a new privacy policy or any updates.
