Your privacy on the internet is important to us. As part of the operation and customization feature of The Daily Signal Media Group’s website (DailySignal.com), we gather certain types of information from users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with them, and how to correct or change the information.
Information Collected by DailySignal.com
DailySignal.com collects two types of information from users: personal data such as zip code, email address and demographic information; and aggregated data such as information about traffic patterns on DailySignal.com (for example, how many users log on to DailySignal.com on a daily basis).
Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such as which pages users visit, is collected through various means. One of these ways is through an IP address, a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. Web servers, the computers that “serve up” webpages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from DailySignal.com, our servers log your IP address. DailySignal.com does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, your session will remain anonymous to us. DailySignal.com collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration only.
Use of Cookies
DailySignal.com uses cookies to automate the process of logging on to certain areas of the site. The DailySignal.com cookie is a small data file stored on your computer that contains a single, randomly assigned user ID number. By recognizing this ID number, DailySignal.com can automatically provide you with the personalized content for which you requested. Cookies can neither read any other files on your computer, nor damage your computer. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.
Use of Information Collected by DailySignal.com
DailySignal.com uses both the personal and aggregated information we collect for multiple purposes. The information is used to improve the content of the site, to customize the content and/or layout of the site for each individual user, target promotions on other sites and if requested, to provide information services by email to the user. After registration, users will receive a single email message confirming registration. The Daily Signal Media Group will never disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party outside of our affiliates unless required to do so by court order, law or governmental agency.
Advertising
DailySignal.com is affiliated with Freestar for the purposes of placing advertising on the site, and Freestar will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes. Learn more about Freestar’s data usage here.
