GovernmentExecutive.com's Privacy Policy

At Government Executive, we want you to enjoy and benefit from GovernmentExecutive.com with the comfort and knowledge that we have taken steps to implement fair information practices designed to protect your privacy. The following explains what information we collect about you and how we use it.

What We Learn
This site automatically recognizes your domain name, IP address, browser version, operating system and the site you passed through to reach GovernmentExecutive.com. In addition, our site automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to GovernmentExecutive.com and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell how many people tuned in to a program. Information you provide to us, such as your name, organization, address, telephone number and e-mail address, are only collected when you complete a request for a subscription to a Government Executive product or service.

How We Use What We Learn
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web sites and to help develop new products. Also, we compile and use this information so that we may keep you apprised of special offers and new GovernmentExecutive.com products that may be of interest to you.

What We Tell Others About You
We do not furnish the information that we automatically gather about you personally to third parties unless we are legally required to do so. We may provide statistical usage data in the aggregate - never information about you personally - to our partners about how visitors use GovernmentExecutive.com. From time to time, we may also be approached by third parties with an interest in identifying subscribers to Government Executive. We may provide Government Executive's mailing list to such third parties if we believe you would be interested in hearing from them. And in some cases, we may be required by law to disclose information about you to a third party.

DoubleClick
GovernmentExecutive.com contracts with DoubleClick for internet advertising technologies and services. DoubleClick does not use your name, address, email address, or phone number to deliver Internet ads. Web site users can opt-out of the DoubleClick cookie, so that no unique information or number is associated with your computer's browser by clicking here.
