Privacy Policy
At Vantage Magazine we take the issue of privacy seriously. Stefi Media Group (the parent company of Vantage Magazine) is committed to maintaining the privacy, security and accuracy of personal information disclosed to our company. We can promise that we will not sell, barter, or transfer any of your personal information to any organizations, companies, or partners outside Stefi Media Group and Vantage Magazine. We encourage you to review our privacy policy below.
What personal information do we collect?
To ensure the quality of our magazine and website we may collect information in several different ways.
You may browse our website without giving out any personal information. If you choose to participate in our services, however, you will be asked to register with us. The types of personal information that we may collect from you include: your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, gender, birth date, occupation, industry, personal interests, payment information (for billing purposes), and delivery instructions. In giving us your information we will be able to optimize your experience on our website. The collection of this data will help us pinpoint what issues, products or services are of interest to our readership.
Why do we collect your personal information?
-
To be aware of our target audience.
We collect information to ensure that our advertisements and our stories apply directly to our target audience.
-
To provide you with the product or service that you requested.
If you subscribe online to our magazine or enter one of our contests, we would like to guarantee that your information is accurate in order for you to receive all of the benefits of our services.
-
For payment purposes.
Your banking information will be used strictly for processing payments and payment options - not for marketing purposes.
-
To send you information.
Throughout the year we might send you information about our magazine, our special offers, and our products. Only we have control of our mailing lists. If you prefer not to receive our mailings simply let us know when you give us your information.
To whom do we disclose your information?
When you provide us with any of your personal information, you are sharing that with us alone (unless specifically stated otherwise). Some of our services and/or offers, however, may be served in conjunction with another company - meaning that your information may be disclosed to them as well. In such circumstances you will be notified prior to giving out your information. If you do not wish to share your information with our other affiliates, you do not have to participate in the promotion.
What are cookies and how do you use them?
We use cookies to store and track information about you. Cookies are small data files written into your hard drive. When you log onto our website the cookies will allow us to recognize who you are and access your account information. Cookies will help us tailor our website so that we can match your interests and/or preferences. They will also help us determine the size of our audience and show what feature is the most popular amongst our readers.
What happens when I click a link on your website?
Because you have gone to another website our privacy policy no longer applies. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or security of information on those websites. Additionally, the inclusion or exclusion of links or advertisements on our sites does not imply any endorsement by us of the sites, the site's provider, or the information on the sites.
How do I know that my personal financial information is protected?
The privacy of your personal financial information is extremely important to us. Your account information is password protected. We recommend that you do not give out your password to anyone to ensure the safety of your personal financial information. Stefi Media Group has organizational, physical and technological measures in place to ensure commercially-reasonable protection against the loss, misuse or alteration of personal information under our control. We review our security practices on a regular basis.
