Privacy Policy

About is strongly committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe online experience for all our users. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected online through About's Web site, which includes all of the About.com Guide-Sites and governs online data collection and usage by About. Please read the complete About Online Privacy Policy below and contact us if you have any questions.

Collection and Tracking of personal information so that we can provide you with the most efficient and enhanced service, we request information about you. We collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses and demographic information such as age, gender and zip code. We also may collect your IP address, browser type, domain name, access times and referring Web site address. This information is collected both during registration on a site or in response to specific requests, for example when signing up for a newsletter, entering a sweepstakes or contest or answering a survey. Information collected at one Four Steps Web site will be available within the Four Steps family of Web sites.

Sometimes we will give you the opportunity to opt in to offers from third parties not affiliated with Four Steps. If you decide to accept these offers, we will provide, with your consent, your information to the third party. However, you should note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to information users consent to give to third parties not affiliated with Four Steps. Any information users give to another party is governed by the rules of that party's privacy policy, which may differ from this Privacy Policy. Four Steps is not responsible for information given to other parties. Please review their privacy policies prior to providing any information to third parties.

We may extend offers to users on behalf of our partners about a particular product or service that may be of interest to you, but we will never give out your name or personal information at any time without your permission. As result, although Four Steps may receive a fee from our partners for this service, Four Steps sends all the offers so that your personal information is never shared with any outside third party.

We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy as necessary to maintain the highest protection for our users and to comply with a changing environment. We recommend that you check the policy when you visit our site to be sure you are aware of and understand our current policy. If we make material changes to this policy or in how we will use or collect your personally identifiable information, we will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change. We will not make changes in how we handle previously collected personal information that have retroactive effect unless legally required to do so.
