Welcome to FLARE.com(“Site”).
This Site is provided
as a free service to visitors(“Users”).
At FLARE we recognize Users are concerned about
privacy and that it is important that we protect
the personal information provided by them - which
is information specifically about who a User is,
such as their name, age, address, e-mail address
or telephone number.
Please review the following Policies
that govern use of the Site and that protect Users’
privacy. By using this Site, Users agree to the
terms of this Privacy Policy. If a User does not
agree with any term or condition in this Policy,
they should not use the Site.
FLARE reviews the Privacy Policy of the Site
periodically, and reserves the right at its discretion,
to modify it at any time. This page should be
reviewed from time to time, so that Users can
be aware of any changes.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is not collected from Users
except with their specific knowledge and consent.
The only way any personal information is collected
on the Site is if it is provided by a User.
Outlined below are the situations in which Users
voluntarily provide us with personal information,
as well as our promise concerning use of such
information.
For more detailed information please see our
Rogers
Media Privacy FAQ.
Site Users may voluntarily provide us
with personal information when they:
• enter a contest;
• use our online subscriber services(or
‘customer care’ pages)(for example,
to subscribe to Flare Magazine, change the address
on a subscription or send a gift subscription
to another person);
• request product samples that we offer;
• contact us with questions or comments
about the Site; or
• submit answers to survey, questionnaires
or recommendation requests.
We promise that we will not provide,
sell or transfer personal information(provided
in the above situations)outside Rogers without
providing the User with an opportunity to tell
us not to.
And, here’s how we may use the
personal information provided to us by Users:
• to reply to comments or questions;
• to provide a requested service or product
(such as a magazine subscription, email newsletter,
or product sample);
• to follow up about any product, service
or information that has been requested by, and/or
provided to, a User(such as notification of subscription
renewal periods);
• to develop and customize products or services
to better meet your needs and preferences;
• to offer you products and services from
Rogers, including any companies within the Rogers
group of companies;
• for FLARE marketing and/or promotion purposes,
unless the User has explicitly advised us of his
or her preference to not receive such communications;
or
• to draw a statistical profile of Users
or magazine subscribers.
For more details about both online and magazine
privacy please see our Rogers
Media Privacy FAQ.
Information posted in areas such as "chat
rooms", "forums", or "bulletin
boards" becomes public information. This
means our site cannot control how the information
is used by other visitors. If you provide any
personally identifiable information, such as your
email address, it can be collected and result
in unsolicited messages being sent to you. We
recommend that you carefully consider these risks
before deciding what informaion to post.
We cannot be held responsible for the
content or accuracy of information posted by users.
Do not post any material which may be considered
unlawful, obscene, abusive or otherwise objectionable.
We reserve the right to, but are not obligated
to, delete any content that we consider inappropriate.
NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
While Users’ individual information is
protected as outlined above, we may use
aggregated, anonymous data about our Users as
a group. For instance, we might report
to potential advertisers that a certain percentage
of our Users fall within a particular age range,
are interested in hair style tips, or regularly
visit our horoscope page.
The Site may also collect and disclose non-personal
user information(for example, IP addresses)in
aggregate form. An IP address is a number given
to a user by a Web Server. Examples of information
provided by an IP address include service provider,
type of browser and type of system used. We may
use this information to monitor Site use and traffic
patterns in order to make the Site better and
more responsive to the needs of Users.
Non-personal information about Users
may be shared with third parties for marketing,
advertising or research purposes.
PLEASE NOTE
Children(under 18 years of age)should ask
their parents for permission before sending any
information about themselves to us or anyone else
over the Internet.
While we encourage our third party advertising
and promotion partner to follow appropriate
privacy policies, we are not responsible for their
actions or policies. These third parties include,
but are not limited to, organizations who purchase
advertising space on the Site, including interstitial
advertisements that may appear on our home page.
The Site may contain links to other sites
solely for the convenience and information of
our Users. We do not have any responsibility for
these sites, they are not under our control and
we do not necessarily endorse them. These websites
have their own policies regarding privacy which
should be reviewed by Users.
