MagManiac.com believes that the best way to market on the Internet is with honesty, accountability, and self-regulation. We have structured our online activities to ensure that anyone who uses our site and purchases a magazine subscription does so in a safe environment.
The Information We Collect and How it is Used
During your visit to MagManiac.com, we collect basic information that does not identify you personally. This includes pages visited, types of magazines accessed, and any other details about your visit. We then aggregate this data with thousands of other pieces of information to help us continually improve our site.
We use cookies to keep track of how people navigate the site, keep track of items in your shopping cart, and to remember information users give us so they don't have to reenter it each time they visit. By showing us how and when people use the site, cookies help us to learn which areas of MagManiac.com are visited and which are not. Many of our improvements and revisions are based on analysis of this type of data. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can disable this feature. In so doing, however, MagManiac.com may not function as you may expect as a result.
When you place an order with us or enter contests or giveaways, you provide personal information such as:
- First and last name
- Billing and/or shipping address
- Email Address
- Phone number(s)
- Credit card account information
- Titles of magazines to which you are subscribing
We collect all or some of this information upon creating your account or subscribing to a magazine, and in other places where you sign up for contests, giveaways, and so forth. This information is used in the following manner:
- To process your magazine subscription
- To provide you with information about whether your order has been received and processed
- To mail billing statements and account summary information
- To send you periodic emails, mailings, or telephone calls from MagManiac.com with information regarding the renewal of your magazine subscriptions, or special promotions, contests, and other announcements specific to MagManiac.com
- Credit card information is used for billing purposes only and is not recorded on our servers
Some data may out of necessity to be provided to attorneys or auditors who are evaluating MagManiac's finances and adherence to state and federal laws and regulations.
Using your information in such a manner ensures you do not experience a frustrating lapse in service or otherwise encounter any account difficulties. If you would like to discuss our customer contact programs or specify a preference for how you are contacted, please email us at getintouch@magmaniac.com.
With Whom Do We Share Information?
When you place an order, your name and address, and the name and address of any gift recipients, is sent to each of the publishers of the magazines you ordered so that they can fulfill your subscriptions.

MagManiac.com fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we reasonably believe to be unlawful.
Third-Party Web Sites

Safe Shopping
Our systems employ the latest encryption technology (Secure Socket Layers) to protect and safeguard your personal information. All of your ordering information, including name and address, is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security. For additional security, your credit card information is not stored on our servers after your order is completed. Your credit card and personal information cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system.
Credit Card Processing
Federal laws ensure that you will not be liable for more than $50 of fraudulent charges to your credit card. It is very unlikely that you would encounter fraud as a result of buying subscriptions through MagManiac.com, but if you do, make sure to notify your card provider in accordance with their rules and policies. If for some reason you are held responsible for this amount, MagManiac.com will cover the entire liability, up to $50, provided the fraudulent use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own and occurred while purchasing through MagManiac.com's secure server.
