2.              USE OF “COOKIES” AND OTHER ELECTRONIC TOOLS

               A.              GENERAL

Magma and parties with whom we work (e.g. service providers, business partners, advertisers and advertising servers) may place, view, and/or use “cookies”, web server logs, web beacons, or other electronic tools to collect statistical and other information about your use of our Website and other websites. This information may include information about the internet protocol (“IP”) address of your computer, browser type, language, operating system, your mobile device, device ID, geo-location data, the state or country from which you accessed certain websites, the webpages visited, the date and the time of a visit, the websites you visited immediately before and after visiting certain websites, the number of links you click within our Website, the functions you use on our Websites, the databases you view and the searches you request on our Website, the data you save on or download from our Website and the number of times you view an advertisement.

Magma and the parties with whom we work may use the information collected for various reasons,  including research, analysis, to better serve visitors to our Website and/or our subscribers (such as by enabling log-in, providing access to certain sections of our Website, providing customized content, or presenting online advertising on our Website or other websites tailored to your interests as described further below), to compile aggregate and anonymous information about usage of our Website and other websites, other statistics and for any of the purposes set forth in Section 1.C. However, if you have deleted and disabled cookies, these uses will not be possible to the extent they are based on cookie information.

Information collected about your use of our Website or other websites may be aggregated, analyzed or combined with personal or other information about you from other online or offline sources. If you prefer that we not combine non-personal information that has been collected, through cookies, about your use of our Website or other websites with personal or other information about you, then please delete and disable cookies for each browser, on each computer you use to surf the internet.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to disable cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Likewise, most mobile devices allow you to disable the ability for geo-location information to be collected from your mobile device. The help function on most browsers and mobile devices contains instructions on how to set your browser to notify you before accepting cookies, disable cookies entirely, or disable the collection of geo-location data. You need to set each browser, on each device you use to surf the internet. Thus, if you use multiple browsers (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), you should repeat this procedure with each. Similarly, if you connect to the internet from multiple devices (e.g., work and home), you need to set each browser on each device. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be able to utilize additional cookie management tools. However, if you disable cookies or refuse to accept a request to place a cookie, it is possible that some parts of our Website, such as the polls, surveys, contests, and product sales, and certain areas of our Website for which you need to log in, will not function properly, and the advertising you receive when you visit our Website may not be advertisements tailored to your interests.

               B.              MARKETING

Magma, its designated service providers, or third-party advertisers, marketing consultants or their advertising servers may also place or recognize unique cookies on your computer or use other electronic tools in order to help display advertisements that you see on our Website or on other websites. Information about your visits to, and activity on, our Website and other websites, an IP address, the number of times you have viewed an advertisement, and other such usage information is used, alone or in combination with other information, to display on your device screen advertisements that may be of particular interest to you. We may use web beacons, provided by third-party advertising companies, to help manage and optimize our online advertising and product performance. Web beacons enable us to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser visits our Website, and to learn which banner ads bring users to our Website. The use and collection of your information by these third-party service providers, and third-party advertisers and their advertising servers is not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Note that even if you exercise choice for targeted advertising, you will still receive online advertising.

In addition to the aforementioned, we may disclose information to third-parties when you have provided your prior consent, for example if you request that we make an introduction on your behalf with someone with whom we have a relationship. Once the third-party receives the information, your information will be handled by that third-party’s privacy policies (if any); as between you and that third-party, we cannot be held, and are not, responsible for how that third-party will handle your information.

We may disclose your personal information to unaffiliated parties, or parties with whom we do not have a relationship, provided we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to: (A) comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation, or in response to a subpoena, court order or other legal process; or (B) to protect the interests, rights, safety or property of Magma or others.

If Magma is involved in a change of ownership event that, in our sole discretion, we believe may materially impact you in relation to your personal information, we will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Website, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

4.              SECURITY MEASURES TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We are committed to protecting your personal information. We store information you provide us on our secure servers. Further, the information you provide us regarding your payment method when making a purchase is secure, and, encrypted, when passed through a secure protocol to our reliable third-party payment processor.
