Privacy. Valassis has created this statement in order to explain what information is collected by the Site, and how we use that information.

What Information We Collect and How We Use It. Contact Information. In the event you contact us to make an inquiry or comment, information that you provide to us within the email, including your email address, will be available to us. We will use it to assist you. Although we will not sell or market information that you supply to third parties, we may use it to improve the Site, or our processes. Event and Order Information. During the course of preparing your mail advertisement, it will be necessary for Valassis to collect certain order-related information. This information will be used to complete your order for printing and distribution by Valassis. Valassis will not sell or market this information.

Changes in Privacy Practice. In the event of any fundamental amendment to the privacy statement for the Site, both the new and the old privacy statements will be posted for a period of 15 days. After 15 days, the new privacy policy will be in effect regarding the usage and treatment of information.

Cookies. We do not permanently store cookies for the Site on your system. However, cookies are temporarily stored in the user’s browser for the duration of the active session.

Log Files. Log files are generated on all web sites on the Internet. These files are set according to the standards for HTTPD web server technology as described by the standards organization, W3C (WorldWideWeb Consortium). The web application server also keeps/generates application specific log files on a per-user session basis. This information assists us in tracking application activity in the event of errors. These Log files contain 'clickstream information' (i.e. transactions about the web pages viewed during a session, including the originating web site/web page, navigation to another web site/web page, the type of browser used, date/time, and success status of the server transaction). Links between pages are described using a URL (Universal Resource Locator) address. Each page viewed has a unique address that is recorded as a transaction in the application server log. Transactions about all pages in the Site are analyzed to administer the Site and to count visits to a page. An individual's session activity in the logs is associated with an account for the purpose of processing submitted orders. Finally, web site design uses log transactions to optimize site navigation.

Security. This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control. Valassis uses networking, server, database, and procedural mechanisms to protect the integrity and privacy of data on the Site. No such systems, however, are foolproof.
