1. What Personally Identifiable Information Does ENN Collect?

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the best and most useful content and services. Because ENN derives its revenue mainly from advertising, collecting information is essential to keeping our services free to users.

ENN collects personally identifiable information when you provide it to us, such as when you register on one of our sites, when you subscribe for an e-mail newsletter or printed magazine, or when you visit ENN pages and read newsletters. ENN may also receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information you have provided to us.
