Your use of this Site in any fashion constitutes your
agreement to the terms of Harris's Privacy Policy
and our Terms of Use. Please

our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on
this page so that you are always aware of what personally

the Site to subscribe to our publications, to enter
contests, to join the Official Vampirella Fan Club,

Harris will make an effort to include
a link to the Privacy Policy whenever we ask you for
additional personally identifiable information.
How is my personally identifiable information
used?
We use the personally identifiable information on
our subscription form to ensure proper delivery of
your issues of Vampirella, and your e-mail or mail-in
contact information in connection with our contests,
sweepstakes and other promotions in order to ensure
the validity of your entries, to notify you if you
are a winner, to send information about Vampirella,
other Harris publications and other Site features
prizes and offers via email (unless you have opted
out of receiving these types of communications), to
send you advertising from selected Harris partners
and advertisers (unless you have opted out of receiving
these types of communications) and to ensure that
we comply with applicable laws.
We may also aggregate the information
we collect to develop certain summary reports for
our partners and/or advertisers. We provide this information
to assist our partners and/or advertisers in determining
how to promote their products and services. In so
doing, we do not reveal personally identifiable information
or disclose specifically who saw or clicked on their
advertisements or other links.
Who has access to my personally
identifiable information?
Only Harris has ongoing access to your personally
identifiable information.
Harris works hard to ensure that your
information is treated securely and in accordance
with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed secure. While
we takes steps to protect your personally identifiable
information, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you transmit to us or from the Site, and
you use the Site at your own risk.
What personally identifiable
information is disclosed to third parties?
Harris may share the following personally identifiable
information with its advertisers, sponsors, and partners
in the following circumstances:
- Information you provide when entering into a
contest, sweepstakes or promotion sponsored by
the Site and/or one of our advertisers/partners/sponsors.
- Information you provide when you register to
receive goods or services from Harris or from
one of our advertisers/partners/sponsors.
- Data related to the areas of the Site that you
visit and how often you visit those areas.
Harris does not disclose your personally
identifiable information to any third party except
in special situations described above, and as to comply
with the law or administer the Site. Other than as
described above, Harris will only share with third
party partners, sponsors, and advertisers the information
you have provided to us in aggregate form — that
is, as a summary report showing, for instance, how
many residents of a specific state subscribed to our
publication or participated in a contest.
Responses to Particular Offers.
Unless you have opted out of receiving special offers
or emails from selected third parties, we may provide
a report to an advertiser or partner which tells them
who responded to a particular offer. For example,
we might send you an email which offers you a discount
on a particular product. If you click on that e-mail
or accept an offer or discount contained therein,
we may provide the advertiser with the personally
identifiable information necessary to provide you
with that discount.
Administering the Site and Compliance
with Law: Harris may disclose your personally
identifiable information if we believe in good faith
that we are required to do so in order to comply with
applicable law, a subpoena, or other legal process.
Harris may also disclose information when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be violating our Terms of
Use, or to protect the safety of our users or the
public. In addition, Harris may disclose or access
personally identifiable information for administrative
and other purposes that we believe are necessary to
develop, maintain and improve our products and services.
How do I opt
out of or modify the collection, disclosure and distribution
of personally identifiable information?
You can always choose whether or not
to disclose personally identifiable information and
that choice will not prevent you from using the Site.
Please note, however, that you must provide some personally
identifiable information in order to subscribe to
Vampirella, to enter any of the Site contests, promotions
or sweepstakes, to join the Official Vampirella Fan

fashion with selected companies. If you wish to do

in the subject line we will not disclose your personally
identifiable information or send you emails or other
offers or promotions. However, Harris may continue
to use your personally identifiable information for
internal purposes, to conduct contests, sweepstakes
and promotions, to enhance your user experience or
as necessary to administer the Site or comply with
applicable law.

directed to other sites that are beyond our control.
For example, if you "click" on a sponsor’s
logo, the "click" may take you off the Harris

for any use of the information including click-stream
data that you may create when using such 3rd party
