Automatically Generated E-mails

Web Server Logs
Our servers log your IP address and browser types for systems administration purposes and statistics only. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. IP addresses are used to gather broad demographic information. This means that a users sessions will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous.
The demographic and profile data is used for marketing purposes and for improving the services we offer. For example, the data allows us to determine the most popular pages in our site, how long users have visited, and what browsers are being used so we can design our site better. Generally this information is collected through “traffic data” and may entail the use of “Cookies” “IP addresses” or other numeric codes used to identify a computer, but not personal data about our users. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis.

Please note that if you provide any information on your own or directly to parties who provide services to Romance Wire (such as Advertisers), sites that we link to, or any other sites you encounter on the Internet (even if these sites are branded with our branding), different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing information to third parties.

Limitations
Although your privacy is very important to us, due to the existing legal regulatory and security environment, we cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. Additionally, in the unlikely event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can (and you authorize us to do so) disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.
Security
