safe online experience for all of our users and subscribers while offering the
highest quality publications and services to them. This Privacy Policy
discloses what information we gather, how we use it, to whom we disclose
personal information and other information you have provided, and how to correct
or change personal information that you have provided to us. This Privacy
Policy applies to TixOnlineNow.com and all of its parent companies,
subsidiaries, and affiliates, including specifically AdStrategies, Inc.. We
urge you to read the complete Privacy Policy set forth below, as well as our
Terms and Conditions of Use, and contact us if you have any questions.
I. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?
Personal Information. We collect personally identifiable information, such as
names, mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, demographic information, and
similar information in a variety of situations, including but not limited to
the following: (i) when you subscribe to one of our magazines or place an order
(see the section below for more information on subscriptions and orders); (ii)
when you register at one of our web sites in connection with the purchase of a
product, publication, or service; (iii) when you enter personal information on
one of our web sites as a condition of participating in contests, promotions,
or sweepstakes offered via these web sites; or (iv) when you wish to have a
product or service fulfilled by a fulfillment partner who can meet the
continuing needs of our customers.
Some of our sites may collect credit card and related financial information if
you wish to purchase a product or subscribe to any publication or service
offered via these sites. If you wish to subscribe to one of our publications or
place an order for products or services online, you must generally establish a
credit card account with us or our vendors. Some of our sites also may collect
social security numbers from consumers if such consumers use one of our
automotive-related web sites and wish to receive a quote from an automotive
lender that is part of the site's automotive lender network. In such instances,
we collect social security numbers only to fulfill consumers' requests to
receive quotes or other financial offers from a lender in the site's automotive
lender network.
Information Collected Automatically. Our web sites automatically collect
certain information, such as your IP address, browser type, domain name, access
times and referring website address. This helps facilitate your online
experience at our web sites. See Sections IV and V of this Privacy Policy for
more detail on cookies, web beacons, and other information collected
automatically by our web sites.
II. WHAT DO WE DO WITH COLLECTED INFORMATION?
We use the personal information you provide to allow you to make product
purchases, to fulfill your requests, improve our publications, products and
services, to send you promotional offers related to Southeast Productions or
our business partners, and to operate our business. A user may, at any time,
opt out of receiving promotional offers by mail or e-mail. How You Can Control
Your Personal Information. We also use collected information to evaluate and
administer our products and services, respond to any problems that may arise,
such as magazine delivery failures, difficulties in navigating our sites or
accessing certain features, as well as to gauge user trends to determine what
products and services are most popular with users, and to put you in touch with
fulfillment partners who can provide services that we cannot. We allow users of
our website to send articles or links by e-mail to other parties who may be
interested in them. We do not retain any e-mail addresses of either the sender
or recipient of such articles or links after they are sent, and do not share
"send a friend" e-mail addresses with third parties.
III. HOW DO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We share your personal information only as described below.
Sharing Within the TixOnlineNow.com Family. We may share your personal
information with any parent company, subsidiary, or affiliate in the
TixOnlineNow.com corporate family. All entities within the TixOnlineNow.com
corporate family may have access to your personal information as well as
anonymous, aggregate demographic data.
TixOnlineNow.com's Service Providers. TixOnlineNow.com may decide to share your
personal information with companies that work on behalf of or with
TixOnlineNow.com. These companies may use your personal information to inform
you about Southeast Productions's products and services, to provide you with
information about other exciting products and services, or otherwise to assist Southeast
Productions in serving its customers, understanding its consumer market, or
devising effective marketing strategies to reach more consumers.
Lead Purchasers. TixOnlineNow.com may decide to share your personal information
with third parties who purchase leads from Southeast Productions, such as
automotive dealers and banks. Some of our web sites require users to disclose
personal information as a condition of receiving quotes or offers from
fulfillment partners (as described more fully below), such as automotive
dealers or banks, who can provide services or products to users that
TixOnlineNow.com does not directly provide. In these instances, your personal
information will be provided to third parties who compensate TixOnlineNow.com
for leads delivered to such third parties.
Participating Vendors. Some of our sites offer opportunities to make purchases
online from special participating vendors. On sites with online purchase
opportunities for products and merchandise, we will also give participating
vendors the order information and authorization for the merchant bank. Any time
you order from a participating vendor, that vendor will automatically have all
the information related to the order. Participating vendors may use that information
to advise you directly of other products and offerings that they provide.
Credit Card Companies; Third Party Payment Services; Third Party Promotional
Sites. As in any transaction, your credit card company will have all relevant
information about the name of the vendor, item(s) purchased, and date and total
cost. Southeast Productions will not otherwise provide any personal data to
your credit card company. In some cases, we use third party payment and
transaction services to facilitate your transactions and process your orders.
In such cases, we will share your personal information and credit card
information with the third party payment services solely for the purpose of
completing the transaction or processing your order. In some cases, we will
share your personal information and credit card information with third parties
who may offer you a gift or promotional offer as a result of your purchase or
subscription to a TixOnlineNow.com product or publication.
Fulfillment Partners. Some of our web sites are intended to facilitate
transactions between you and a third party. To do so, we collect and share
additional personal information, like credit information, so such third parties
can provide the product or service you request. As our fulfillment partners may
keep and use your information whether or not you purchase their products or use
their services, your personal information will be subject to their privacy
policies.
Other Third Parties. We may share your personal information with third parties,
such as advertisers, sponsors, and other promotional and business partners,
only when you have not opted out of receiving communications from third
parties. If you wish to opt-out of receiving third party communications, you
may exercise this right by following the opt-out procedures contained in any
e-mail or written communication Southeast Productions sends to you or by
following the procedures set forth in Section VII of this Privacy Policy.
Public Postings. You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
information, personal or otherwise, online in any community area (whether
through TixOnlineNow.com's web sites or any other service available online),
that information can be collected and used by others. Accordingly, you should
use caution when sharing any personal information with others in any community
area (whether through TixOnlineNow.com's web sites or any other service
available online).
Required Disclosures of Information. We reserve the right to use or disclose
any information without notice or consent as needed to satisfy any law,
regulation or legal request; to conduct investigations of consumer complaints
or possible breaches of law; to protect the integrity of our sites and our
property and assure adherence to our terms of use; to protect the safety of our
visitors or others; to fulfill your requests; or to cooperate in any legal
investigation or process.
Changes in Corporate Structure. In developing our business, we might sell
certain assets, or the company, or parts of it, may be sold, merged or
otherwise transferred. In such transactions, user information, whether
personally identifiable or otherwise, may be one of the transferred assets.
IV. HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?
Your Web browser offers "cookies" which, if you allow their use,
store small amounts of data on your computer when you visit a web site. Cookies
do not contain any personally identifiable information about you and therefore
cannot be used to identify you personally. Cookies assist us in tracking which
of our features you like best, and also enable us to customize our content
according to your preferences. You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies by modifying your browser and our websites are viewable even if you
disable the cookie function on your browser. However, if you disable cookies, some
advanced and customized features or offerings on our site will not be available
to you. In addition to collecting cookies, TixOnlineNow.com may distribute,
sell, and/or transfer such cookies to third parties with whom TixOnlineNow.com
has a commercial relationship. If you do not wish your cookies to be used in
this manner, you can modify your browser to disable the collection of cookies.
Additionally, we use third-party companies to collect non-personally
identifiable information (e.g., the pages you visit, and which links you click,
which ads you see and click on, and the categories of search terms you enter)
when you visit one of our web sites. Some of these third-party companies
collect information when serving ads on our sites, while others collect
information without showing ads on our sites. These companies may use the
information outlined above (which does not include your name, address, email
address or telephone number) about your visits to our sites in order to provide
advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. These companies
often use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information. If
you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices
about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
V. HOW DO WE USE WEB BEACONS, WEB ANALYTICS, AND OTHER
BEHAVIORAL MARKETING TECHNOLOGIES?
A number of technologies exist to assess consumer behavior both on-line and
off-line. TixOnlineNow.com employs a variety of these technologies, including
web beacons (see below), web analytics techniques, and other behavior marketing
technologies, to assess consumer behavior and to understand how we can better
serve our customers. Many of these technologies are provided to
TixOnlineNow.com via third party providers specializing in behavioral marketing
and consumer behavior. In the course of using these behavioral marketing
technologies, we automatically collect non-personal information from you,
including but not limited to the following types of information: Internet
protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login,
e-mail address; computer and connection information such as browser type and
related browser data; content viewed; and purchase history, which may be aggregated
with other information for analytic purposes.
Some of our web pages, promotional e-mail messages, and/or newsletters may
contain electronic images known as web beacons, which are also called
single-pixel gifs. Web beacons are not used to access your personally
identifiable information, but they are a technique we use to compile aggregated
statistics about the usage of our web sites and to track the number of users
who have opened and acted up our promotional e-mail messages. Web beacons
collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and
date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon
resides.
VI. WHAT ABOUT THIRD PARTY ADVERTISERS?
Some of the banner ads displayed in our web sites are provided by third
parties. These ads contain cookies and may also contain web beacons. Unlike
cookies and web beacons used by Southeast Productions in content it controls on
its web sites, cookies or web beacons received with banner ads are collected by
our advertisers and we do not have access to this information. We use third
parties to serve some or all of the advertisements that are placed within our
sites and they may use information (not including personally identifiable
information) about your visits to our sites and other sites to assist in
serving advertisements to you. These companies may employ cookies, web beacons,
and action tags to measure advertising effectiveness. They may share anonymous
information with their clients such as date/time of the banner ad shown, the
specific ad shown, the IP address, etc. DoubleClick is our primary third party
ad server.
VII. HOW CAN YOU CONTROL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We believe that choice in how and when you are contacted is key to customer
satisfaction, so we offer several ways for you to update your contact
information, change your preferences, or opt out of receiving future
communications.
1. If you have an online account at one of our websites, you may
be able to log on and update or change your contact or account information.

VIII. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt important information,
such as your credit card data, in an effort to prevent unauthorized access
during transmission of your orders over the Internet. We incorporate standard
industry practices suitable to the degree of sensitivity of the information
involved to maintain the security of your personal information and to avoid its
disclosure except as described in this policy. Your personal information may
also be protected by the password you created when you registered at one of our
websites where this feature is offered. The confidentiality of any password is
yours to protect. You may change it anytime by following the instructions at
the website where you registered. Although we use our best efforts to assure
that your data remains secure when maintained by us, security during Internet
transmissions or within any system cannot be assured. Southeast Productions
employees are made aware of its privacy practices through periodic
communications and training. We limit access to personal data only to those
TixOnlineNow.com employees or agents with a specific need to access or retrieve
this information. We store data on multiple service systems, in controlled,
secure environments. Remember, however, that we cannot guarantee the security
of your personal information, and we are not responsible for the privacy or
security practices of any third party.
IX. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Most of our publications and web sites are intended for adults. Some web sites
and publications, however, are intended for teens 13 and older but may include
features or material that may be appealing to children under the age of 13. Southeast
Productions is strongly committed to protecting the safety and privacy of
children who visit our Web sites. We do not knowingly collect personal
information online from children under 13. Many of our sites include chat
rooms, bulletin boards and other features that we believe are unsuitable for
children under 13 and which are not necessarily monitored. We encourage all
parents to talk to their kids about online safety and to monitor their
children's use of the Internet.

such third parties' use or misuse of your personal information. You should
review the privacy and information sharing practices of such third parties.

to other sites within the TixOnlineNow.com family as well as to sites operated
by third parties. We offer links to third party sites so that you can
conveniently visit our vendors and advertisers or locate other content likely
to be of interest. We are not responsible for the content, practices or
policies of sites operated by third parties and urge you to inquire about them
before providing any personally-identifiable information.
XI. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

once a year, information about third parties with whom we have shared
information about you or your family for their marketing purposes during the
