Legal and Privacy Questions

ALL THINGS IF, LLC, is a non-profit venture, funded by social enterprises (sponsors) which have built their businesses based on the ideals and spirit of “If”. These enterprises also contribute a significant amount of content to ALL THINGS IF^tm; however, in order to prevent a conflict of interest and provide unbiased information to our readers, all inclusions in the magazine are made by the editorial board of ALL THINGS IF^tm.

The ALL THINGS IF^tm site is and will remain free of advertising; our financial sponsors cannot provide contributions to the magazine unless they are consistent with the mission. However, as a compromise with our sponsors, we have agreed to send our registered users monthly emails with highlights from our magazine, which may include relevant information from our sponsors, such as links to music videos, notifications of an author’s book tour, or similar information. We will send only that which contains a valuable message, regardless of the source. We do not sell or provide email addresses of our registered users to third parties (including our sponsors). To discontinue mailings, simply delete your account from “All Things If”. For more detailed information, including our “Privacy” policy, see our “Legal” page.
