Time Warner Online Privacy Notice
Thank you for visiting CNNSI.com, an AOL Time
Warner site. Your privacy is important to us.
To better protect your privacy, we provide this
notice explaining our online information practices
and the choices you can make about the way your
information is collected and used at this AOL
Time Warner site. Click
here for a list of the AOL Time Warner businesses
whose sites are governed by this Privacy Notice.
The Information We Collect
At some AOL Time Warner sites, you can order products,
enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express
an opinion, subscribe to one of our services such
as our online newsletters, or participate in one
of our online forums or communities. The types
of personally identifiable information that may
be collected at these pages include: name, address,
e-mail address, telephone number, fax number,
credit card information, and information about
your interests in and use of various products,
programs, and services.
At some other AOL Time Warner sites, you can submit
information about other people. For example, you
might submit a person's name and e-mail address
to send an electronic greeting card and, if you
order a gift online and want it sent directly
to the recipient, you might submit the recipient's
name and address. The types of personally identifiable
information that may be collected about other
people at these pages include: recipient's name,
address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
At certain parts of some of our sites, only persons
who provide us with the requested personally identifiable
information will be able to order products, programs,
and services or otherwise participate in the site's
activities and offerings.
We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable
information when you visit many of our web pages
such as the type of browser you are using (e.g.,
Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating
system you are using, (e.g., Windows '95 or Mac
OS) and the domain name of your Internet service
provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink).
How We Use the Information
We may use the information you provide about
yourself to fulfill your requests for our products,
programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries
about our offerings, and to offer you other products,
programs or services that we believe may be of
interest to you.
We sometimes use this information to communicate
with you, such as to notify you when you have
won one of our contests or when we make changes
to our subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request
by you for an online newsletter, or to contact
you about your account with us.
We use the information that you provide about
others to enable us to send them your gifts or
cards. From time to time, we also may use this
information to offer our products, programs, or
services to them.
The information we collect in connection with
our online forums and communities is used to provide
an interactive experience. We use this information
to facilitate participation in these online forums
and communities and, from time to time, to offer
you products, programs, or services.
If you choose to submit content for publication
(e.g., a "letter to our editors"), we
may publish your screen name and other information
you have provided to us.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable
information that we collect to improve the design
and content of our site and to enable us to personalize
your Internet experience. We also may use this
information in the aggregate to analyze site usage,
as well as to offer you products, programs, or
services.
We may disclose personally identifiable information
in response to legal process, for example, in
response to a court order or a subpoena. We also
may disclose such information in response to a
law enforcement agency's request.
Agents and contractors of AOL Time Warner who
have access to personally identifiable information
are required to protect this information in a
manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice
by, for example, not using the information for
any purpose other than to carry out the services
they are performing for AOL Time Warner.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard
against unauthorized disclosures of information,
we cannot assure you that personally identifiable
information that we collect will never be disclosed
in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy
Notice.
Certain AOL Time Warner sites may disclose personally
identifiable information to companies whose practices
are not covered by this privacy notice (e.g.,
other marketers, magazine publishers, retailers,
participatory databases, and non-profit organizations)
that want to market products or services to you.
If a site shares personally identifiable information,
it will provide you with an opportunity to opt
out or block such uses. For instructions on how
to opt out from such disclosures, please click
here.
We may on occasion combine information we receive
online with outside records to enhance our ability
to market to you those products or services that
may be of interest to you. If you prefer not to
receive marketing information from this site,
click here for instructions on how to make your
request.
Finally, the AOL Time Warner sites covered by
this Privacy Notice will not use or transfer personally
identifiable information provided to us in ways
unrelated to the ones described above without
also providing you with an opportunity to opt
out of these unrelated uses.
Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites
and Sponsors
Some of our sites contain links to other sites
whose information practices may be different than
ours. Visitors should consult the other sites'
privacy notices as we have no control over information
that is submitted to, or collected by, these third
parties.
The AOL Time Warner sites covered by this Privacy
Notice sometimes may offer content (e.g., contests,
sweepstakes, or promotions) that is sponsored
by or cobranded with identified third parties.
By virtue of these relationships, the third parties
may obtain personally identifiable information
that visitors voluntarily submit to participate
in the site activity. AOL Time Warner has no control
over these third parties' use of this information.
The AOL Time Warner site will notify you at the
time of requesting personally identifiable information
if these third parties will obtain such information.
Some of the AOL Time Warner sites covered by this
Privacy Notice may use a reputable third party
to present or serve the advertisements that you
may see at its Web pages. Our privacy policy does
not cover any use of information that a third-party
ad server may have collected from you. For more

ad servers, please click
