The American Map-Langenscheidt Publishing Group (AMLPG) respects your
right to privacy and recognizes the importance of protecting the information
that we collect from customers during the process of registering for service,
product, or membership on an AMPLG site. It is our policy to use the information
we thus acquire for internal business uses only, and we maintain appropriate
security measures to keep this information private. Gathering this information
helps us develop and enhance our Web sites and products to match your
interests. In general, you can visit any of the company's sites on the
Web at any time without telling us who you are or revealing any information
about yourself. We log the IP address, type of operating system and browser
software used by each visitor to an AMPLG site, and from this information
we can derive the identity of the visitor's geographic location and Internet
Service Provider. We use this data in aggregate form to build higher quality,
more useful web sites by analyzing the collective characteristics of our
members and measuring usage of each area of our sites. We also may provide
statistical information based on this aggregate data to our advertisers,
potential advertisers and other business partners. In some circumstances
we will ask you to provide us with certain personal information, such
as when you make a direct online purchase from us or enter one of our
contests or promotions. In all cases where we ask you for personal information
we will:
Cookie Disclosure Statement
There is a technology called "cookies" which is a file transferred
from a website to the hard drive of your computer so that the website
operator may track activities on the site. AMLPG uses cookies to help
track activity at our sites so that we can make our sites more interesting
and useful to visitors. Cookies allow us to understand who has seen which
pages and ads, to determine how often particular pages are visited, and
to track the most popular areas of each brand’s site. Cookies also
allow us to make our sites more convenient to use by, for example, allowing
us to save your password so that you do not have to reenter it each time
you visit a company site. Please note that a cookie will NOT permit a
website operator to learn any personally identifying information about
you, such as your real name or address, unless you have previously provided
that information to the website operator or you have set the preferences
in your browser to provide this information. You can, of course, set your
browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the opportunity
to decide whether to accept it. THIRD PARTY LINKS. Our sites contain links
