Japan Media Review has created this statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for JMR and our sister publication, Online Journalism Review.

We maintain and periodically review log files that automatically record the following information: the IP address (not the e-mail address) from which you are connecting to the JMR server; the time at which you requested a file; the name of the file or files you requested; the Internet address of the Web site from which you were "referred" (for example, the page you were looking at when you clicked on a link that brought you to the JMR Web site); any search terms or keywords that you may have used in the search engine that directed you to this site; and your Internet browser and platform (Internet Explorer, Windows 98, etc.).

We also collect data on any error messages you might receive, such as 404s or "file not found." We use this information to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic information, such as the country of origin of our visitors. While the pages you choose to browse are linked in our log files to your computer's IP, this information is not connected to your e-mail address. None of the automatically collected data identifies you as a person.

This site contains links to other sites. JMR is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Public Forums
Please remember that any information disclosed through Japan Media Review's discussion board becomes public information, and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information such as your e-mail or surface mail address.

Security
Japan Media Review makes every effort to prevent the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Since we do not conduct commercial transactions or request credit card numbers, we do not use a secure server.
