WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Personal Information
We only collect personal information from visitors to our Web site when
they voluntarily provide it to us by completing our registration form
or electing to use one of our services. In doing so, we may require
visitors to provide us with information including, but not limited to,
their name, physical address, email address, birth date, credit card
number, credit card expiration date, username, password, unique identifier
(such as their social security number).
Non-Personal Information
When visitors access our Web site, certain non-personal information
may be collected from them including, but not limited to, their browser
type (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer), operating system (e.g.,
Windows or Macintosh), IP address, and the domain name from which they
accessed the site (e.g., altavista.com) In addition, we may collect
information about visitors' browsing behavior, such as the date and
time they visit the Web site, the areas or pages of our Web site that
they visit, the amount of time spent viewing the site, the number of
times the visitor returns to the site, and click-stream data. We use
transparent tracking pixels to determine the number of Web site visitors
that have been sent to us through our affiliate network. We do not track
any information about visitors once they leave our site. We may use
cookies (small text files that are stored on visitors computers when
they access our Web site) to collect this information. Information collected
through cookies may be combined with visitors' personal information.
We may also allow unaffiliated third parties, such as advertisers, to
serve cookies to visitors of our Web site. Visitors are always free
to decline cookies, but in doing so they may not be able to use certain
features on our Web site. The "help" segment of the toolbar
on most browsers explains how to configure a browser to not accept new
cookies, how to have the browser inform a user when they receive a new
cookie, and how to erase cookies from their hard drives.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL AND NON-PERSONAL
INFORMATION?
Our goal in collecting personal information is to provide visitors with
the most personalized Web experience. By knowing a little about our
visitors, we are able to deliver more relevant content and provide better
services. We may use information collected from visitors to our Web
site for any of the following purposes: (1) to send visitors information
and promotional materials about our company, (2) to send visitors information
and promotional materials from our marketing partners and third parties
(such as advertisers on our Web site), (3) to deliver targeted display
advertisements and offers by email (by matching criteria provided by
our advertisers with information collected from our visitors), (4) to
contact visitors to our Web site when necessary, (5) to allow one-click
purchases or access to proprietary content by pre-populating fields,
within registration or other transaction screens, with a visitor's name,
billing address, and credit or charge card information (among other
things), as provided by that visitor, (6) to help diagnose problems
with our server, (7) to administer our Web site, (8) to conduct internal
reviews of our site (e.g., to determine the number of visitors to the
site), (9) to help us better understand visitors' use of our site, and
(10) to protect the security or integrity of our site. Non-personal
information will be used for purposes of conducting internal reviews
of the site, monitoring the site, and providing a greater online experience
for our visitors.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE DISCLOSE?
We may transfer or otherwise disclose information collected from visitors
to our Web site to our employees and independent contractors, to our
parent company, subsidiaries and affiliates, and to our consultants,
other business associates, and suppliers, if the disclosure will enable
that party to perform a business, professional, or technical support
function for us, or if required to do so by law. We may also disclose
information we collect from our site visitors to our marketing and business
partners, who may use the information in connection with their business
operations, such as to send marketing and other communications to visitors
of our site. We may also share, rent, sell, or transfer personal information
provided by our visitors to third parties except you payment information
(e.g. credit card number). During the registration process, and at certain
times during any member user session, we may present additional offers
from third party service providers. Our third party service providers
have their own terms and conditions and privacy policies. We suggest
that visitors access these third party sites and review their terms
and conditions and privacy policies before "subscribing" to
any third party offer. We may also share non-personal information we
collect from visitors to our site, such as their browsing behaviors,
with third parties. For example, we may tell a third party advertiser
that a certain number of people have visited a certain area on our Web
site.
WHAT SECURITY MEASURES DO WE TAKE TO PROTECT
YOUR DATA?
To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data integrity, and ensure
the appropriate use of information, we have put in place certain physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information
we collect from visitors to our Web site. We use Secure Socket Layer
technology to protect any credit card information you provide us. We
allow access to personal information only to persons and entities engaging
in activities provided for by this Privacy Policy. Visitors should consider
any communication that they transmit to us (such as data, questions
or answers, comments, suggestions, or communications submitted to a
chat room) to be non-confidential. We will not be liable or responsible
if information that belongs to a visitor is intercepted and used by
an unintended recipient.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Protecting the privacy of children is VERY important to us. For that
reason we do not structure any part of our site to attract anyone under
the age of 18 (21 in some areas) and we do not allow anyone under the
age of 18 (21 in some areas) to register and become a member of our
site.
UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES

assets may be transferred to a third party, including personal information
collected from visitors to our Web site.
