Jungle collects personally identifiable information when you register with the site, subscribe to the print magazine or our weekly e-mail newsletter, respond to surveys and questionnaires, purchase products on our site, or enter promotions or sweepstakes.

Jungle offers free, voluntary registration to users. By registering, users will have complete access to all content and resources on the site. When you register with Jungle, we ask for the following information:

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys, promotions or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose requested information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).

Once you register with Jungle and sign onto our services, you are not anonymous to us.

If you provide information in response to a survey, promotion or contest, contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

If you purchase products or services through our site or request further information about a product or service, we request information from you on our order form, including contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (e.g., credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

The information we collect may be used by us to contact users for marketing purposes.

If you supply us with your postal address online, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new products and services or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please notify us as listed in the "How to Correct or Update Any Inaccuracies or Preferences" below.

If you supply us with your telephone number online, you may be contacted by us regarding orders placed online.

We send all new members a welcome e-mail to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. You may choose not to receive these types of communications. Please see "How to Correct or Update Any Inaccuracies or Preferences" below for opt-out instructions.

We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members can't un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regard to issues relating to their account via e-mail or phone.

Jungle does not sell, rent, give away or loan identifiable information regarding its members to any third party without the informed consent of the user. If you participate in a service or transaction on our site, personal information you supply may be shared with participating vendors to finish transactions. Jungle may share aggregate or summary information regarding its users with third parties (e.g., 75% of business students own laptop computers).

Jungle will NOT send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people unless:

We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit-card-processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

We partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Jungle may use cookies to assign a unique identification to your computer in order to customize your service on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site.

Jungle takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, that information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration or order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit-card number and/or social-security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry -- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.

Information posted on message boards, chat areas, forums, clubs, and news groups is available to the general public. Please use caution when posting information that may include any personal information.

Our site provides users the opportunity to opt out of receiving communications from us and our partners. To update your personal information or to request that your information be removed from our database for any purpose, you can update your preferences in the manner described below in the "How to Correct or Update Any Inaccuracies or Preferences" section.

This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Jungle is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Jungle.

Jungle may modify this privacy policy from time to time. If we make substantial changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our pages. You should also check this page from time to time to ensure that you are aware of the most recent version of the policy.

Your continued use of the site after our posting of any modifications to the policy will indicate your acceptance of the new or modified terms.

This site gives you the following options for removing your information from our database, to opt out of any selections that you have previously made, or to update any inaccuracies in the information that you have provided:
