What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the Small Publishing network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record visitors' e-mail addresses.
What are cookies?
From time to time, Small Publishing or its advertisers may send a cookie to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off of your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites. Cookies do not damage your system. Our advertisers may use cookies to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. Our advertisers may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you see on our site. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our websites and other websites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
What information do you collect when I register for something?
Small Publishing offers access to some services that require registration. We may use your registration contact information to send notification to you of Small Publishing products and services by e-mail and/or postal mail. We do not share that information with anyone else.
What other information do you request?
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested.
We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent or as permitted by this Privacy Policy.
We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new Small Publishing products and services.
When you register for a contest or other promotion, we may ask for your name, postal address, and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. Whoever has provided prizes for the contest or other promotion may expect your contact details as part of the process. If this is the case we will state it clearly on the contest/promotion page.

If you are purchasing something from the Small Publishing network, we need to know your name, e-mail address and postal address. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. This information may also be used by us to notify you of related products and services.
E-mail information will not be shared or sold to third parties for any purpose except as provided in this Privacy Policy without your express permission.
Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?

What else should I know about my privacy when online?
The Small Publishing network contains many hyperlinks to third party websites. The Small Publishing network also contains advertisements of third parties. Small Publishing is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party websites or advertisers.

Please check with those websites to determine their privacy policy.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others.
