The Journal Record Publishing Co. has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy interests of our users. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for journalrecord.com.

IP Address Use
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. For example, we use IP addresses to prevent visitors from loading votes into our poll on the front page. Your IP address is also reported in our site traffic reports and is used to gather broad demographic information (i.e., geographic location, etc.)

Cookies
Our site uses cookies to keep track of our members’ preferences so they will be able to log in to our bidding and awards database without having to re-enter their user name/password for each session. We also use cookies to deliver customized content and to administer our advertising program, so you don’t see the same ad repeatedly.

Registration Form Requirements
Our site’s registration form requires users to give us contact information (like their name and e-mail address), financial information (like their account or credit card numbers), and demographic information (like their ZIP code, age, etc). The customer’s contact information is used when a member of staff needs to reach the visitor regarding their account or another matter related to their account. In the event your contact information is used to market our company’s products, you may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the opt-out section below.

Contests & Promotions
We run contests on our site, which, on occasion, ask visitors for contact information (like their e-mail address). This information is used to contact the visitor when necessary. In the event your contact information is used to market our company’s products, you may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the opt-out section below..
