Privacy Policy

We're really very private.

General

Mental Floss, LLC, publisher of mental_floss magazine and other associated mental_floss works, are committed to maintaining the privacy of personal information that you provide to us when using mentalfloss.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal information received about you when you visit mentalfloss.com. We may make content or services from other Web sites including our affiliated or co-branded Web sites available to you from links located on mentalfloss.com. These other Web sites are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policy at each such Web site to determine how that site protects your privacy.

Surveys

Our reader survey is entirely voluntary and you may decline to participate by not clicking on the link that says "survey." We're not very tricky that way. The information is not tied to you personally in any way; we only use it for demographic purposes.

Web Site Usage Information

We automatically collect IP addresses and Web site usage information from you when you visit our Web site. This information helps us evaluate how our visitors and subscribers use and navigate our Web sites on an aggregate basis, including the number and frequency of visitors and subscribers to each Web page, and the length of their visits. And as for you ... you spend way too much time on the Internet, especially reading small, unimportant stuff such as this. Get a life, will ya?

Cookies

We love cookies, particularly chocolate chip. We don't, however, use Web cookies on our site. At least not yet.

Policy Modifications

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time on a whim, for our own amusement. We have to have fun somehow.
