Privacy Policy

KNOW respects your right to control the information given to us and how we use it.

Information Collected
If you are ordering a KNOW subscription, obviously we need a certain amount of information in order to provide the subscription to you and to communicate with you about it (in case, for example, there is a problem with the order). We use that information only for internal purposes. We do not sell or rent subscription lists. We do not give personal information about our readers or subscribers to third parties.

Email Contact
We do, on occasion, receive terrific unsigned email letters. If we wish to use it on the letters’ page of our magazine, an editor will contact the writer and ask for name and town. Again, it is used only for the magazine, in this case, the letters’ page, or, as an anonymous quote for promotional purposes.
     Readers also email us to express an interest in reviewing books or science kits for KNOW. If that’s the case, we send information about doing a review. We publish reviews in each issue of KNOW, and we post them on our web site. If this is okay with the reader (and his/her parents), we send a review book or science kit when it’s his/her turn on the reviewer list. Usually reviewers are already subscribers and their addresses are available through our subscription database.
     KNOW readers also tend to ask a lot of science questions of our editors. We try to answer questions—without doing someone’s homework—and often steer them to appropriate external web sites. The web sites recommended are reviewed by an editor prior to being suggested.

Cookies
We only use cookies during the subscription ordering process and then only to keep track of your order. No information is stored permanently.

Security
We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect in the subscription ordering process.

Parents/Guardians
Computers and the Internet are here to stay and kids will be navigating the two with the skill and ease of born “cybernauts”. We believe it is important for you to understand the perils of the on-line world and to help educate your kids. We have found two good web sites which will help you with this, so check them out and then talk with your kids before they start surfing on their own.
