Privacy Policy

CJR is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not currently collect personally identifiable information, except in specific instances, such as signing up for our e-mail list.

Like most websites, CJR does collect non-personal information, such as IP addresses of visitors and data about the usage of pages. This information is used to help us evaluate and improve the site, and understand what our readers are looking for when they visit CJR. We may also disclose aggregated non-personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.


Comments Policy

We ask our readers to express opinions in a manner respectful to the readers and writers of CJR. Criticism of ideas is strongly encouraged, but personal, ad hominem attacks will result in deletion of posted comments and, potentially, banning of the individual user. CJR reserves the right to edit or delete, for reasons of content, comments submitted to CJR.


Commenting Rules

CJR reserves the right to edit or delete your comment posting if you, or anyone using your account, violates one of these rules:

Comments that do not provide a valid e-mail address at which the user associated with it receives e-mail;

Comments that violate local, state, or federal laws, promote commercial products or services, impersonate another person or entity, or solicit or encourage illegal activity;

Comments that libel or defame any other individual or party;

Comments that are abusive, that threaten or harass another individual, are overly antagonistic, deliberately inflammatory, or ad hominem in nature.

Comments that contain excessive punctuation or capitalization designed solely to pump up the volume of a post.

Comments which CJR and parties contracted by CJR deem to be otherwise objectionable, inappropriate, off-topic, or offensive.


Permanent Removal

CJR reserves the right to remove users / commenters permanently for any of the following:

Violating any of the rules above more than once.

Using non-working, outdated e-mail addresses in one’s account.

Using language CJR deems to be offensive or obscene in one’s username.

Using multiple accounts to post comments.
