YES Mag
respects your right to control the information given to us and how
we use it.
Information Collected
If you are ordering a YES Mag subscription, obviously we
need a certain amount of information in order to provide the subscription
to you and to communicate with you about it (in case, for example,
there is a problem with the order). We use that information only for
internal purposes. We do not sell or rent subscription lists. We do
not give personal information about our readers or subscribers to
third parties.
Email Contact
We do, on occasion, receive terrific unsigned email letters. If we
wish to use it on the letters’ page of our magazine, an editor
will contact the writer and ask for name and town. Again, it is used
only for the magazine, in this case, the letters’ page, or,
as an anonymous quote for promotional purposes.
Readers also email us to express an
interest in reviewing books or science kits for YES Mag.
If that’s the case, we send information about doing a review.
We publish reviews in each issue of YES Mag, and we post
them on our web site. If this is okay with the reader (and his/her
parents), we send a review book or science kit when it’s his/her
turn on the reviewer list. Usually reviewers are already subscribers
and their addresses are available through our subscription database.
YES Mag readers also tend to
ask a lot of science questions of our editors. We try to answer questions—without
doing someone’s homework—and often steer them to appropriate
external web sites. The web sites recommended are reviewed by an editor
prior to being suggested.
Cookies
We only use cookies during the subscription ordering process and then
only to keep track of your order. No information is stored permanently.
Security
We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data security, and correctly use the information we collect in the
subscription ordering process.
Parents/Guardians
Computers and the Internet are here to stay and kids will be navigating
the two with the skill and ease of born “cybernauts”.
We believe it is important for you to understand the perils of the
on-line world and to help educate your kids. We have found two good
web sites which will help you with this, so check them out and then
talk with your kids before they start surfing on their own.
