Personal information users give us: On some portions of our Web site, visitors can register to purchase products or services, receive personalized content and participate in surveys or contests. When you register, we will ask you for some personal information.

If you're purchasing a product, we, or one of our third party vendors, such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble, will request financial information (E.g., What is your credit card number?). Any information that you provide to a third party vendor is not disclosed to us, and the use of such information is governed by that vendor's privacy policy. Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the products and services you purchased.
