Privacy
Policy Nation
Online
is committed to protecting consumer privacy online. We believe that
greater protection of personal privacy on the web will not only protect
consumers, but also increase consumer confidence and ultimately their
participation in online activities. We, at Nation-Online intend to give
you as much control as possible over your personal information. The purpose
of our policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather
about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information,
whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding
our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Our site
may contain links to other web sites. We have no control over the privacy
practices or the content of any of our business partners, advertisers,
sponsors or other sites to which we provide links from our sites. You
should check the applicable privacy policy of the web site sponsor when
linking to other web sites. I. Information Which We Collect We may
request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including
your e-mail address, postal address, home or work telephone number,
credit card number (only if you choose to subscribe online), for purposes
such as correspondence, or participating in online contests, surveys.
If you choose to give us personal information via the Internet that
we or our business partners may need -- to correspond with you, process
an order or provide you with a subscription, for example -- it is our
intent to let you know how we will use such information. Like many
other commercial sites, our site may utilize a standard technology called
a "cookie" to collect information about how our site is used.
Cookies were designed to help a web site recognize a user's browser
as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that
may have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot
retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus,
or capture your e-mail address. Our web site(s) may use cookies to enhance
your visit. Cookies can securely store a user's password, personalize
home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep
track of selections. Our cookies may collect your domain name and track
your selections through our web pages. We only use "cookies"
to gather the information indicated in this policy and do not use cookies
to gather personal identifying information about you without your consent. We may
require you to supply us with personal information (demographic information
such as average age, income, education, population data, postal/zip
codes) during a "registration" process online prior to using
certain features of our site. For example, you may be required to register
to use chat rooms, forums, to access archival stories, to subscribe
to newspapers, and to access other features. We use this general information
to aggregate information according to demographics, such as gender,
geographic location, age, income or a combination of these or other
demographics. In addition,
users may complete a subscription form online in order to subscribe
to The Nation.Com. To subscribe, users must submit personal information.
II.
Use of User Information We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate user behavior. This allows us to measure relative consumer interest in the various areas of our web sites for product development purposes. Any information we collect is used for its own internal purposes to improve the content of the web sites, to enhance users' experiences when visiting our site, to customize the content and/or layout of our pages, and to provide the services required by an individual user. We do not use personal identifying information for any reason that is not disclosed either in this Policy or at the time the information is requested. We never send e-mail to you unless you request a particular service, or consent to being contacted by e-mail. There are instances where you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an e-mail list that will send information about the site or our advertisers to your e-mail address, but this will be done only with your permission and consent. III.
Disclosure to Third Parties We do not
share personal identifying information with any third party without
your permission. We disclose only in aggregate form our statistical
analyses or demographics of users to third parties, such as advertisers
or other business partners. In some instances, we operate shared web
sites with businesses affiliated with us. Our privacy policy will apply
to these web sites, and our affiliates adhere to our privacy policy
and will not share personal information with any third party without
your permission. PLEASE BE AWARE that when you voluntarily disclose
personal information (such as your name, e-mail address) in chat areas
or bulletin boards to third parties, that information may be collected
by others outside the control of us and may result in unsolicited messages
from others. IV.
Accuracy of User Information In order
to ensure the accuracy of personal information provided for registration,
you may return to the registration form online in order to change information
you have provided at any time. Questions regarding our privacy policy,
the accuracy of your personal information or the use of the information
collected should be directed via e-mail to webmaster@nation.com, or

policies are effective as of July 1, 20058. We reserve the right to
change this policy at any time, and will post any changes to this policy
as soon as they go into effect. V. Security of Information We use our best efforts to ensure the security of personal information submitted by users. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, we offer secured-server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart someone from intercepting it and misusing it. When we collect other information from our users, it is stored in an area where the general public does not have access to it. VI.
