Information Collected in Ad Delivery

The non-personally identifiable information collected by The National Enquirer is used for the purpose of targeting ads and measuring ad effectiveness on behalf of The National Enquirer's advertisers.

There are also other cases when a user voluntarily provides personal information in response to an ad (a survey or purchase form, for example).

This information is used by the advertiser and/or The National Enquirer Web Site so that you can receive the goods, services or information that you requested. Where indicated, The National Enquirer may use this information in aggregate form to get a better general understanding of the type of individuals viewing ads on the Web Site.
