What we know about you:
Your visit www.courierjournal.net gives us no information other than which Internet browser you're using. Unless you submit such information, we have no way of knowing any vital information about you -- not even your name. Reading through the content requires no registration by site visitors.

The Courier Journal may collect additional personal information from users on occasion in connection with optional surveys or to offer sensational advertising opportunities only available to online readers. Furthermore, the availability of certain pages or participation in certain contests through our website may or may not require a one-time registration. In any circumstance, registration will make it easier navigate our website in subsequent visits. We will not routinely send spam to our site visitors and will always give readers an opportunity to opt-out of any system of notification. Information that you provide in answer to optional survey questions may be shared in aggregate form with advertisers and readers for promotional or verification purposes, but at no time will any personally identifying information be used by our staff or divulged to any third party.
Any payment information is processed and shredded once transactions are completed. No numbers are kept on site and we will not ask clients or customers to do this.

Transactions:
Secure payment transactions are encrypted through SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificates by Thawte, with the strongest identity authentication standards available today.

We will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law.

It is simply for internal use and to make it easier for your return submissions.
