Your Privacy

Playhouse Media, LLC, and Woodlands Family Magazine ("WFM") collect certain personal information through this website. The following describes what information is collected and how that information may be used and shared with third parties.

Use of Information Gathered Through This Site

WFM collects information that you submit via an email link from this website. You may use the links, for example, to inquire about advertising opportunities. The information you provide may include, for example, your name, title, company, address, telephone number and email address.

The information you submit will be retained by WFM in a database maintained by WFM or its service provider, and will be used by WFM to complete your request, such as providing you with the information you requested. WFM will not share the information with any third party, except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Statement. WFM may share the information to complete your request. For example, if you request to be added to the mailing list, WFM may share the information with the mailing and fulfillment company providing services. WFM may also share the information with a successor in interest, an affiliate or its consultants who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the information. For example, if WFM merges with another publisher, WFM may share the information with that publisher. WFM may also share the information as permitted by law. For example, WFM may provide the information in response to a subpoena, a law enforcement or governmental agency request, or a court order.

WFM may also use the information retained in the database to communicate with you directly via email or direct mail, such as to inform you about newsworthy topics and upcoming opportunities that may be of interest to you. For example, WFM may use your email address to send you information about magazine contests or upcoming partner events. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards.

Anonymous Information

WFM also gather anonymous information, which may be used by WFM or shared with third parties. This information does not personally identify you but may be helpful for improving the services we offer. Generally this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "cookies," "IP addresses," or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.

Cookies: "Cookies" give users a special, random ID that are small text files, which are stored on the hard drive of a user's computer. WFM employs cookies to recognize you and your access privileges for certain locations on the website, such as the online Media Kit, as well as to track site usage. Subscribers who do not accept cookies from the website may not be able to access areas of the website. WFM also uses Google Ads to display ads on the website. Some of these ads may contain cookies that are set by third parties (i.e., advertising agencies or advertising clients). WFM does not have access to these cookies or any information that they may contain.

IP Addresses: WFM also logs IP addresses for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. (Your IP address indicates the location of your computer on the Internet.) WFM does not log IP addresses to track your session, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

Credit Card Information: If you use a credit card to pay for a WFM product or service, we may retain your credit card information in order to renew your account in the event you elect to purchase again. When we do retain credit card information, we keep it secure and separate from other demographic information you may have given us.
