PRIVACY POLICY This statement describes the online information practices of The Harvard Crimson. It covers our privacy practices in connection with The Crimson newspaper and The Harvard

Crimson's digital properties (including www.thecrimson.com). By accessing this website, you agree to let us collect and use your information, including personal information, as

described below. If you do not agree with the terms of our privacy policy, please do not access this website. This policy was last updated on February 8, 2016. It is subject to change, and

changes will be posted to this page. If any of those changes are significant and deal with our use of personal information, we will post those changes at least 30 days before they take

effect. COLLECTION & USE OF INFORMATION The information we collect falls into two categories: personal information, which you voluntarily provide to us, and non-personal information,

which is automatically collected when you use our website. _Personal Information_ Personal information is information that identifies you. You may choose to provide us with personal

information such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, credit card information, demographic information such as your age and gender, and other information about

yourself when you subscribe to The Harvard Crimson, sign up to receive our email newsletters or special offers, post a comment, place a classified advertisement, contact us via email or by

letter, participate in the Flyby Matchmaker or in one of our promotions, complete a survey, or register for one of our journalism programs. You may also decide to provide us with personal

information on behalf of others. For example, you will need to submit a person’s name and email address to purchase a gift subscription for that person through our website. If you want to

send a gift subscription directly to that person, you will also need to submit his or her address and telephone number. _Non-personal Information_ Non-personal information is information

that we collect in aggregate, without identifying you. We automatically collect non-personal information from you when you visit The Harvard Crimson’s website. For example, we may collect

information about the type of browser you use when accessing the site, the language of your browser, and the name and version of the operating system you use. We may also collect information

about your Internet Protocol address (the numerical address assigned to your computer by your internet service provider), which can sometimes be used to determine your general geographic

area. We may collect information about the website you visited before and after visiting The Harvard Crimson’s website, and the ads and links on which you click while browsing the website.

If we send you an email, we may collect information about whether you open or forward that message, and whether you click on the links contained in the message. One of the ways in which we

collect non-personal information is by issuing a "cookie," which is a small text file placed on your hard drive. Cookies help to prevent you from repeatedly seeing the same

advertisements, being asked to register or to re-enter your password every time you visit The Harvard Crimson’s website. Cookies are also used to authenticate your identity. Cookie delivered

by The Harvard Crimson’s website should not interfere with the operation of your computer. You can disable cookies through your browser, but doing so may disable certain functionalities of

The Harvard Crimson’s website. The Harvard Crimson may use non-personal information for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We may use IP address logs to track your

participation in our readership polls in order to ensure accurate results. We may also gather general demographic information automatically available about website visitors for statistical

purposes. SHARING INFORMATION The Harvard Crimson shares aggregate, non-personal information with advertisers, partners, and service providers. We may also provide personal or non-personal

information if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to comply with the law or with legal process, such as to comply with a subpoena, protect and defend our rights and

property, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our websites, or to protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. DATA SECURITY We use commercially

reasonable controls to protect our readers’ personal information. We cannot, however, guarantee that the information will remain permanently secure. It’s possible that technical problems

could cause your information to be lost, or that the information could be stolen from our databases. We are not responsible for any such loss, theft, or other security breach. Although The

Harvard Crimson makes concerted efforts to protect its servers and databases from unauthorized access, we are unable to accept liability for information accessed illegally via our servers,

clients, or network. Your personal information is protected by the most advanced security systems available to us. However, no system is entirely secure and, as such, The Crimson makes no

legal guarantees regarding the protection of any data that may reside on our servers. THIRD PARTY SITES We collaborate with third parties that might gather information from you through

processes we don’t control and subject to their own privacy policies. The Harvard Crimson is not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of websites to which we link. We use

third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit The Harvard Crimson’s website. These companies may use aggregate non-personal information about your visits to this and other

sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this

information used by these companies, click here. CHILDREN UNDER 13 If you are under age 13, do NOT send us your name, phone number, address, email address, or other personal information

about yourself. We do not knowingly collect or store personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event that we learn that we have collected any personal information

from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our database. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS If you are a California resident, you have the right, under California Civil

Code Section 1798.83, to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed personal information for their direct marketing

purposes in the prior calendar year. Please email requests for such information to [email protected]. Please note that we do not honor Do Not Track requests. UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS You

can unsubscribe from any of our newsletters or email lists at any time by following the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each message. If you would like to update the personal information

that you have provided to us, send an email to [email protected]. We will retain your information for as long as we provide you with services. We will also retain and use your

information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your

information to provide you services, contact [email protected].
