Overall privacy statement
We take your privacy seriously. Because we gather certain
types of information about our users, we want to help you
understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection
and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses
the types of information we gather, how we use it, and how
to correct or change it. These privacy practices apply to
the Web site that you were viewing when you clicked through
to this policy, which is operated directly by us, by our partner,
or by our affiliate.
1. What information does Train Online collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to
provide you with the best and most useful content and services.
Several of the services and features that we offer on our
sites require you to provide us with information as a condition
of usage. These include access to subscription-only areas,
the ability to post opinions or other content, participation
in sweepstakes or contests, subscriptions to print magazines
and email newsletters and participation in message boards.
We collect personally identifiable information, such as your
name, email address, postal address, phone number and credit
card information when you provide it to us. From time to time,
we may also collect other sensitive information such as your
job title, gender, username and password. We may also receive
information about you from other sources and add it to the
information you provided to us.
Once you register with one of our Train Online sites
you are no longer anonymous to us.
2. What is Train Online's practice regarding
cookies?
Your Internet browser has a feature called cookies, which
stores small amounts of data on your computer about your visit
to any of our sites. You do not need to have cookies turned
on to visit most of our sites, although active participation
in certain areas of our sites may require cookies. Cookies
alone tell us nothing about who you are unless you specifically
give us personally identifiable information, in which case
we use the information to enhance your services in the ways
described below. By adjusting your settings on your browser,
you may elect not to allow cookies to be collected.
We also use technologies, including electronic images known
as Web bugs—sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear
GIFs, or beacons—that allow us to track general user-traffic
patterns. We also automatically receive and record information
from our servers and from your browser, including your IP
address, the time of your visit to pages on our site, and
information about pages you visited. Unless you have registered
for one of our products or services, the information we gather
through the use of tracking technologies cannot be matched
with any personally identifiable information about you.
We use cookies and tracking technologies in a variety of
ways, including:
- Keeping count of return visits to our site or our advertisers'
or partners' sites.
- Accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate (data
collected in mass), statistical information on Web-site
and advertisement usage.
- Determining which features our overall user population
likes best.
- Saving your password so you don't have to re-enter it
each time you visit our sites.
- Displaying the most appropriate advertising or content
based on your interests.
We allow other companies that are presenting advertisements
on our sites and, sometimes, in our newsletters to use tracking
technology on your computer. We do not give any personally
identifiable information to them as part of this relationship.
Unless you visit the Web site of these companies and provide
them with personally identifiable information about yourself,
these tracking technologies tell those advertisers nothing
about who you are. Our advertisers' use of tracking technology
is subject to their own privacy policies.
3. How does Train Online use the information?
We use the information we gather for four general purposes:
- To customize the advertising and the content you see.
- To enhance the user experience in our network of sites.
We use tracking information to determine how well each page
performs overall based on aggregate user demographics and
traffic patterns to those pages.
- To fulfill your requests for certain products and services,
such as sending out electronic newsletters and enabling
you to participate in paid services, polls, contests, and
message boards.
- To send you information you agreed to receive about topics
we think will be of interest to you.
4. How does Train Online share the information?
Personally identifiable information
We will make your personally identifiable information available
to other companies or people when:
- You have elected to allow us to share that information
at the time that you registered with us or provided us the
information, or through a subsequent affirmative election
through our website.
- You volunteer information or create a public profile in
the course of your participation in our community features
such as forums, user opinions and reviews, chat rooms, photo
sharing or other forms of public communication and interaction.
- You use cobranded services (i.e., sites or services that
we offer to you in connection with a partner, who is identified
on the site). When you use a cobranded service within our
network of sites, you grant us permission to pass your registration
information back to that service partner. Their use of your
information is subject to their applicable privacy policies.
- We hire third-party vendors to provide specialized services
such as customer support; email message deployment; suppression,
merge and de-duplication services; data processing; and
special products or services that you have requested. These
companies are only allowed to use the information in order
to help us fulfill our services to you. We do not provide
your information to these companies for their own, permanent
use.
- You unsubscribe for a mailing that we send to you on
behalf of a third party. We may share your removal instruction
with the third party so that it may be added to that person’s
list of people to whom they may not send emails.
- You are the winner of a contest or a sweepstakes that
is co-sponsored with a third party and that third party
needs your information in order to manage the prize fulfillment
process.
- When required by law, such as when we respond to subpoenas,
court orders, or legal process.
- We believe that your actions violate applicable laws,
Train Online Terms of Use, or any usage guidelines
for specific products or services, or threaten the rights,
property, or safety of our company, our users, or others.
Aggregate information
We aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose
such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to
advertisers and other third parties for marketing, promotional,
and other purposes. We do not disclose to these entities any
information that could be used to identify you personally.
Business transfers
We are always seeking to improve our network of Web sites
and our business. In accomplishing these objectives, we may
buy or sell a company, or one or more of the companies in
our corporate family may merge with or be acquired by another
company. If we sell a business, we may transfer some or all
of your information as a part of the sale in order that the
service being provided to you may continue or for other business
purposes.
5. What are my options?
Users who would rather not provide any of the user data
requested by our registration process do not need to register
with us. You can still view much of the content and use many
of the services offered by our sites without registering.
We also give users the following options:
- Opting not to receive our electronic newsletters or those
of third parties when registering. Users who opt in may
remove themselves from mailing lists at any time through
the subscription-management pages or by following the instructions
at the end of the e-mail they received from us.
- Opting not to provide certain personal information when
registering for a site, provided, however, that you may
not be able to use some of our products or services without
providing us with certain information.
6. How can I review and update my personally identifiable
information?
You can review, correct, or change the information collected
during registration for any of our sites. The instructions
for doing this can be found in our member-services areas.
Users may change information at any time and as often as necessary.
Users who are experiencing problems with our services or who
have questions about how our services work can contact us
using e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.

7. How will I know if the privacy policy is changed?
Any modifications to our privacy practices will be reflected
first within this area of our network of Web sites. If there
is a material change in our privacy practices, we will indicate
on our sites that our privacy practices have changed and provide
a link to the new privacy statement. If we are going to be
using the information collected from users in a manner materially
different from that stated at the time of collection, we will
send affected users written notice of the change by e-mail.
8. Privacy of children
None of the sites within our network is directed to anyone
under the age of 18. We do not permit registration by, and
will not knowingly collect or use personally identifiable
information from, anyone under 18 years of age. This requirement
is clearly posted during the registration process.
