-Privacy Policy-

Your privacy is important to us and Community Press is committed to protecting it. We collect certain types of information about visitors to our websites, and here is an explanation about the types of information we gather and what we do with it.

Community Press collects identifying information from users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as information about traffic patterns on our websites, for example how many users visit our websites on a daily basis).

Personal data is collected when users voluntarily provide such information to Community Press, for example in registering for electronic newsletters or other membership services, in answering surveys, purchasing items, and registering for online contests and other promotional opportunities that may be provided.

Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations, is collected through various methods. For example, Community Press collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever one surfs the Internet. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from communitypresshome.com, our servers log your IP address. Community Press does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us.

Community Press also uses "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that most major Web sites write to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit them. Cookies allow CommunityPresshome.com to measure activity on our websites to improve your user experience. Cookies are used by Community Press to measure activity on our websites to make improvements and updates based on which areas are popular and which are not. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except for personal information voluntarily provided by you, Community Press does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever.

Community Press uses both the personal and aggregated information we collect for multiple purposes. The information is used to improve content on our websites, to customize the content and/or layout of our websites for each individual user and to notify users about website updates or promotional offers or announcements we believe will be of interest to you.

Community Press may also share information with affiliates for internal business purposes and may divulge personal information if such information is subpoenaed, or if Community Press believes that any user has committed unlawful acts, to acts that endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public. In some situations, we will share your personal information, on a confidential basis, with third parties who perform a particular service on our behalf, such as sending e-mails. Also, Community Press may be sold or transferred to another entity. Should such an event occur, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Occasionally, we may post the name of a user (for example a contest winner) on one of our websites. Community Press will notify you of this possibility when you provide your information or, if possible, will notify you when the information is posted.

Community Press encourages parents and guardians to be fully familiar with the websites visited by their children and the content they are viewing. Occasionally, Community Press may ask whether users are under the age of 18, or 13, for example when requesting personal information from users, or Community Press may ask for parental consent. However, while we request this information or permission, Community Press relies on users to be truthful in responding to these questions.

No information should be submitted to or posted to or on our websites by users under the age of 13 years without the consent of their parent or guardian. Community Press does not provide any personally identifying information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever unless disclosed during collection. Users under the age of 13 are generally asked not to participate in contests or other promotional opportunities.

Community Press requests that children under the age of 18 do not submit or post information to our website without a parent or guardian's consent. Community Press may collect information, including personally identifying information, from users between the ages of 13 and 17, and with the permission of their parent or guardian this information may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by Community Press and may be shared with prescreened third parties. If a user or their parent or guardian changes their mind with respect to such use, such user, parent or guardian may stop that use by e-mail request or by calling our headquarters at 757-416-7272.

Please remember that information posted to message boards, review or comment pages becomes public information. We suggest using caution when posting. Users under the age of 18 should be especially careful not to provide any personally identifying information while using message boards, sending review or sending comment. As set forth in All users must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages, reviews and comments online.

It is important to note that the Community Press website may contain links to sites other than CommunityPresshome.com, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Community Press. For instance, if you click on a link, it may take you away from one of our websites and to an entirely different site. This can include links from content providers, authors, and partners who may use The Community Press logo and or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you, and may collect data and make uses of it in ways that Community Press would not.

The use of any information or materials that you may access at these external sites is purely voluntary. You should not rely on their contents without independent and thorough review of the accuracy, completeness, effectiveness, timeliness and correct sequencing. These external sites may also refer to specific commercial products, processes, or services by trade name, trademark, service mark, manufacturer or otherwise. Unless Community Press has provided specific authority, such references in no way indicate our endorsement, recommendation or preference.

No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Community Press to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, Community Press cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.
