Privacy Policy
The Prop 65 News Web site collects information from our
subscribers during the subscription/registration process and,
occasionally, at other times. This information ranges from data
we need to validate your subscription, such as your name and
address, to the information gathered through aggregated
tracking, derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our
sites. Such information enables us to better tailor our content
to our readers' needs. The Prop 65 News does not disclose to
third parties any personal information which could disclose your
identity and will not do so without first notifying you and
giving you an opportunity to elect not to have such information
disclosed. The Prop 65 News allows its subscribers to send the
results of various searches via e-mail to a single e-mail
address and a single individual, provided the copyright and
other proprietary notices are kept intact. This information is
used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to
let the recipient know who sent the story. The information is
not provided to third parties.
We do send subscribers e-mail notifications
of new site features and topic-based news alerts. Subscribers
may opt out of receiving these notifications. We reserve the
right to contact any subscriber at any time regarding
subscription renewals or other subscription-related problems and
questions as well as changes to our User Agreement. Subscribers
may change their information by clicking on “Your Account” and
selecting “Make Changes”. Updates to address
or other information
affect not only your online account, but also
paper delivery, if applicable.
Links
To the extent that the Prop 65 News Web site links to other Web
services and resources, Prop 65 News does not control the
availability and content of those outside services and
resources. Nor does the Prop 65 News endorse any external site
to which it links. Prop 65 News is therefore not responsible for
the availability, content or accuracy of other Web sites,
services or goods that may be linked to, or advertised on, the
Service. Prop 65 News does not (a) make any warranty, express or
implied, with respect to the use of the links provided on, or
to, the Service, (b) guarantee the accuracy, completeness,
usefulness or adequacy of any other Web sites, or (c) make any
endorsement, express or implied, of any other Web sites,
services, goods or advertisements that may be linked to the
Service. Any concerns regarding any such service or resource, or
any link thereto, should be directed to the particular service
or resource.
Cookie Technology
We employ cookie technology to enable us to recognize users and
their access privileges on the Prop 65 News Web site, as well as
to track site usage. A cookie is a small text file that many Web
sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. We do not
store passwords or any personal information about you. Cookies
also enable you to enter the Prop 65 News Web sites as a member
without having to log on each time, however, to visit an
pay-per-search area of the site, you will be prompted for a
username and password. A failed logon to the pay-per-search
sections of the site will expire the cookie. These "remember
login" cookies must be renewed every 90 days. If you have set
your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will
receive the warning message with each cookie. You can refuse
cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to
have cookies turned on to use
the
Prop 65 News site, however, you do need cookies to both avoid
the initial logon prompt when accessing the site and to add
additional services to
a subscription request.
Termination
Prop 65 News reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at
any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, your
failure to timely pay all fees and charges incurred in
connection with your username and password or any other breach
by you of this Agreement. Termination may be accomplished
by mail, e-mail notification, or by blocking further access by
the username.
Entire Agreement
This Agreement ,
as it may be amended from time to time (including any other
terms and conditions of service posted elsewhere on a Prop 65
News Web site, and to which you agree), constitutes the entire
agreement between you and Prop 65 News and governs your use of
the Service.
