</div> </div> </div> </div> <p>Updated: March 15, 2023</p> <p>Harper’s Magazine (“Harper’s”) takes the privacy and security of personal information very seriously. As such, we have prepared the following Privacy Policy to provide you with information about how your data is collected, used, shared, transferred, and protected as a result of your interaction with https://harpers.org (the “Site”). If you disagree with any of the provisions described below, your remedy is to stop using the Site immediately.</p> <p>Legal Basis of Data Processing: Harper’s processes your information under one or more of the following legal bases:</p> <ul> <li>With your valid affirmative consent;</li> <li>To fulfill a contract with you; and/or</li> <li>As necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Harper’s or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your privacy interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Information Collection and Use</strong></p> <p>Visitors to the Site can browse without becoming registered users. We do not collect personal information from these non-registered Visitors. We do assign each non-registered Visitor a secure code to limit them to one free pdf story per month.</p> <p>When you interact with the Site, we may ask you to provide <u>Identifiers and Contact Information</u>, specifically your name, email address and mailing address, in connection with subscribing with us and establishing an online subscriber account. We use Identifiers and Contact Information to deliver you the content you subscribe for and to contact you regarding your subscription and other related offerings, which may include our newsletter and, from time to time, promotional events. Once you are a subscriber, we also collect and track the number of sessions you’re using at once, as well as the number of articles and pages you are downloading, in order to keep people from abusing our system or giving away their account information. This means that if you and all the other monks in the monastery want to read Harper’s online using one account, we’ll be forced to cut you off. We use information about what articles you’re reading in only two ways: to track abuse and to see what articles are popular on the website. We collect your IP address as part of this process.</p> <p>We also collect certain <u>Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information</u> such as your browsing history on the Site, the length of time spent on certain pages, the website Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) from the website you were visiting before coming to this Site, which URL you next visit, device type, what browser you are using, Internet service provider, date/time of visit information and your operating system. We will use the Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information to conduct statistical analysis of our Site, to troubleshoot service issues or interruptions, to update and improve the Site, and to understand the demographics of our Users and their browsing habits. We do not link this information to you personally.</p> <p>It is your decision to use the Site, and, as such, any provision of this personal information is completely voluntary. You may decline to submit any personal information for any of our services or products. Please note that this may result in the inability to provide certain services or products to you.</p> <p><strong>Cookies</strong></p> <p>We use cookies and other similar technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to collect and process Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information.</p> <p>Cookies are small files that are sent to and stored in your computer by the websites you visit. Cookies are stored in your browser’s file directory. Cookies may be stored only for the time you are in a given site or they may remain stored in your browser for a defined period of time beyond your current session. Cookies work in combination with content within the website itself, to capture and remember information. To learn more about these technologies and how they work, please see www.allaboutcookies.org.</p> <p>You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You can review the options available to manage cookies in your browser. One option is to disable, or turn-off, all cookies. If you turn cookies off, you may not be able to browse the Sites. If you disable certain kinds of cookies, some aspects of our Site may not function properly or as well.</p> <p><strong>Advertising Services</strong></p> <p>We contract with third-party advertising networks to track real time site usage to determine the effectiveness of certain advertising campaigns in driving traffic to the Site, to pitch advertising based on the location of the Site visitors, and to place advertising on our Site. We do not share personal information with these networks. We do use advertising management software that remembers who you are between visits.</p> <p><strong>Information Sharing</strong></p> <p>We may share personal information to the following entities and/or for the following reasons:</p> <p>We sometimes sell or rent portions of our postal mailing list to other magazines, publications, fund raisers, and catalogs. We don’t do much of it, and we don’t let just anyone use our list. If you want to be removed from our postal mailing list, send an email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e58a95918a9091a58d849795809796cb8a9782">[email protected]</a>. Make sure to include your account number (it’s on your mailing label and starts with the letters PRS), the name under which you subscribed, and your full mailing address.</p> <p>We do not sell our email list.</p> <p>We engage third party service providers to assist us with certain aspects of our services, including to help us manage the physical mailing of the magazine and to process payment for subscriptions. As a result, those third party service providers may collect personal information from you on our behalf. We require that such third party service providers use the personal information for the limited purpose for which we provide it, maintain reasonable security measures for the protection of such information, and comply with the provisions as outlined in this Privacy Policy.</p> <p>We may partner with other companies in order to provide our Users with additional benefits. In the event that we enter into such a partnership, we may share your personal information with those partners. If we share personal information, we will require that such partners use the personal information for the limited purpose for which we provide it, maintain reasonable security measures for the protection of such information, and comply with the provisions as outlined in this Privacy Policy.</p> <p>Law Enforcement. Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personal information. We will disclose personal information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, warrant, or other legal process to the extent necessary to meet legal, national security, public interest, or law enforcement obligations. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our Site for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.</p> <p>In the event we enter into an agreement to be purchased by another company or to merge with another company, we may share personal information with that company. We will require that such purchasers continue to comply with the provisions as outlined in this Privacy Policy.</p> <p>We may also share Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information with select third parties, such as our advertisers, for purposes of serving you with customized promotions. If you would like to learn more about the sharing of non-personal information for purposes of providing customized advertisements or promotions, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/consumers/.</p> <p><strong>Links to Third Party Sites</strong></p> <p>We provide links to third party websites that may be of interest to you. We are not responsible for the collection, use, or sharing of your personal information once you leave our Site and follow a link to one of these third party websites. Please consult each linked website’s privacy policy for a description of how the website collects, uses, and shares your information.</p> <p><strong>Children’s Information</strong></p> <p>The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete it immediately. If you believe that a child under the age of 13 may have provided his or her information to us, please contact us using the contact information below.</p> <p><strong>Do Not Track</strong></p> <p>We do not track personal information about your online activities over time and across third-party Web sites or online services. We do not allow third parties to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different Web sites when you use our Service. As a result, we do not respond to Web browser “do not track” signals.</p> <p><strong>How You Can Access and Control Your Personal Data</strong></p> <p>You have the following rights with respect to our processing of your personal information:</p> <p>(1) access to your personal information that we process;</p> <p>(2) correction of any errors in your personal information;</p> <p>(3) to withdraw consent previously provided;</p> <p>(4) to object to our processing of your personal information;</p> <p>(5) to request deletion of your personal information; and</p> <p>(6) to take your personal information provided by express consent or for the performance of a contract from us with you.</p> <p>To exercise these rights, or to remove yourself from our mailing list for catalogs or emails, please contact us via email at: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8ee6ebe2feeaebfde5cee6effcfeebfcfda0e1fce9">[email protected]</a>.

If you would like to no longer receive emails from us, please click the ‘unsubscribe’ link included in all promotional emails sent by us.</p> <p><strong>Retention</strong></p> <p>We will retain your personal information for as long as is required to fulfill the purposes for which the information is processed or for other valid reasons to retain your personal information (for example to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements).</p> <p><strong>Cross-Border Transfer of Data</strong></p> <p>We are located in the United States. If you are not a resident of the United States, your country’s laws governing data collection and use may differ from those in the United States; in particular, the United States may not provide the same level of protections as those in your own country. By using the Site or providing your personal information to us, you are transferring your information to the United States, and you consent to the transfer, retention, and processing of such data in the United States. If you do not agree with such transfer, retention and processing in the United States, please do not use the Site.</p> <p><strong>Security</strong></p> <p>We understand the importance of information security and will take reasonable measures to protect the security and confidentiality of your information. Please understand that no measures can guarantee 100% security.</p> <p><strong>Changes to this Privacy Policy</strong></p> <p>We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy. We will post changes directly to this Privacy Policy, so it is your responsibility to check back here from time to time to review this Privacy Policy. If we make a material change in the type of information we collect or its use, we will provide advance notice of such change, and obtain your consent for the new collection or use, as required by law.</p> <p><strong>Do Not Sell My Personal Information</strong></p> <p>To request more information about the sharing/sale of personal information and/or to request to opt-out of such sharing, send an email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1c736c687369685c747d6e6c796e6f32736e7b">[email protected]</a>.
