It is the goal of POST-STANDARD.COM to bring you information that is tailored to

THE TYPE OF INFORMATION POST-STANDARD.COM COLLECTS

address, name or phone number. Optional information such as your age or gender may
also be requested.

HOW POST-STANDARD.COM USES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU

POST-STANDARD.COM uses this information to provide you with the service you have
requested. For example, if you subscribe to any of our newspapers, we may use your e-
mail address to send you a confirmation notice and your mailing address to send you your
newspaper. Similarly, if you enter an online sweepstakes, we will use this information to
notify you if you are a winner. We may also use the information to communicate with
you about new features, products or services, or to improve the services that we offer by
tailoring them to your needs.

POST-STANDARD.COM does not sell any of our users' personal information. We may,
however, share information with our affiliates and with carefully selected companies who
we think can offer you services and products of interest to you. If you do not wish to have
your information shared, write to us at shodgens@syracuse.com.. If you do not wish to
receive communications from us, simply follow the unsubscribe instructions contained
within the e-mail. If you've registered on any part of POST-STANDARD.COM, you may
also change or update your member preferences or information within any section of the
site where you have signed up, registered or created any type of account.

We also allow access to our database by third parties that provide us with services, such
as technical maintenance or forums and job search software, but only for the purpose of
and to the extent necessary to provide those services. And if you choose to purchase
items through features on our site, we may forward your information to third parties for
services such as credit card processing and order fulfillment. There are also times when
you provide information about yourself to us in areas of the site that are managed or
participated in by third parties, such as our auction services or shopping areas. In such
cases, the information may be used by us and by such third party(ies), each pursuant to its
own policies. We may also provide your information to our advertisers, so that they can
serve ads to you that meet your needs or match your interests. While POST-
STANDARD.COM will seek to require such third parties to follow appropriate privacy
policies and will not authorize them to use this information except for the express
purpose for which it is provided, POST-STANDARD.COM does not bear any
responsibility for any actions or policies of third parties. There may also be occasion
when we are legally required to provide access to our database in order to cooperate with
police investigations or other legal proceedings. In those instances, the information is
provided only for that purpose.
