At Discover Magazine, we hold your privacy in high regard and are dedicated to the protection of your personal data. Recognizing the importance of your privacy, our Privacy Policy is designed to clearly articulate the methods through which your information is collected, utilized, disclosed, and secured when you engage with our website or employ our services. Furthermore, this policy adheres to a broad spectrum of privacy legislations, including but not limited to those enforced within the United States, Canada, and under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.

Discover Magazine is represented by Discover Magazine Inc. which operates the website and is ultimately responsible for your privacy and the services that are provided.  However, we do have various other partners and vendors who provide support to make these services available.

Therefore, when we use terms like "Discover Magazine," "we," "us," or "our" within this document, we are referring to Discover Magazine Inc. along with any applicable affiliates. We will clearly identify which entity will act as the data controller for your personal information when you submit content to us or consent to our processing of your personal data as part of our content offerings (also see “Sharing Your Information” below).

To enhance our commitment to safeguarding your personal information, we've designated a dedicated data privacy manager. This role is pivotal in addressing any inquiries you might have concerning our privacy practices or when you wish to exercise your rights under privacy laws. Should you have questions or need to discuss your privacy rights, please feel free to reach out to the data privacy manager at the contact information provided below.

• “Personal data” or “Personal Information”: references in this Privacy Notice to data, personal information, or information, are all references to Personal Data. Personal Data means information relating to a living individual (a "Data Subject") who is, or can be, reasonably identified from the information, either alone or in conjunction with other information.  This is most commonly thought of as things like a person’s name, e-mail address, phone number, etc.

• Processing: means any operation which is performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or any kind of disclosure or other use.  In other words, it refers to when we “do” something with personal data.

To optimize our website, match content to your needs and deliver a more personalized user experience, Discover Magazine automatically collects information regarding your use of our websites. When visiting our brands online, we log information about your visit and also use tracking mechanisms such as cookies (First and Third Party), pixels, scripts, and device & browser data to collect information about your interaction with our websites or emails. These can be used to provide you with additional information that is relevant to your work or scientific areas of interest. 

You have the option to create a Discover Magazine account to fully use Discover Magazine services. During the registration process, we will ask for your basic contact information, including your first and last name, a unique username, password, and email address. In some cases, we may also need your billing details. If you decide to make a payment, we will require your billing information, email address, and payment method details (such as credit card number and expiration date). By providing your credit card billing location, you are helping us determine the appropriate Discover Magazine entity to associate with your account and apply any necessary sales tax to your purchase.

At Discover Magazine, we gather information about your interactions with our websites and services. This includes the web pages you visit, your clicks, the timing of these actions, your language preferences, and your purchases. We collect data from the device and app you use to access our services, such as your IP address, operating system version, device type, device ID/MAC address, system and performance details, browser type, and other device, network, and browser signals. If you're using a mobile device, we also collect the UUID. Additionally, we determine your approximate location based on your IP address.  This type of information helps us improve system performance and maintain security while also helping us learn more about how our users prefer to interact with our services so we can continually improve them (e.g., knowing which kinds of mobile devices are most used can help us to focus our efforts on ensuring our website is designed properly for those devices).
