Thank you for visiting CharterWave, a division of Imagine Media LLC. Your privacy is important to us. We will not sell your personal information to any unauthorized third party.

CharterWave includes large amounts of information that you can access without providing any personally identifiable information. CharterWave also includes premium content that is available to subscribers who do provide personally identifiable information, such as (but not limited to) an e-mail address and credit-card number. We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit CharterWave, including the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.

We may use the information you provide to fulfill your requests for CharterWave products, services, and programs, including electronic newsletters. We also may use it to respond to your inquiries and to offer you products, programs or services.

If you choose to submit content for publication (such as making a posting on our forums or responding to our blogs), then we may publish your name, screen name, and other information you have provided to us.

If you click on a link to another site, you should be aware that the linked site may have information practices that are different from ours. You should consult those sites’ privacy policies for more information.

We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of CharterWave, and to let us personalize your experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze CharterWave usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.

We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request.

Agents and contractors of CharterWave 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 CharterWave.

We may transfer your personally identifiable information to agents and contractors for management and administrative purposes, including processing your credit-card information. Transfers of personally identifiable information may also be made where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Although we take 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 Policy. Inadvertent disclosures may occur.

This Notice may be changed by CharterWave. The revised Notice will be posted to this page so that you are aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
