What personal data we collect and why we collect it?

Like most website operators, Toons Mag collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Toons Mag’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Toons Mag’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Toons Mag may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Toons Mag also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on toonsmag.com blogs/sites. Toons Mag only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
