PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your
experience on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible,
and we want you to use the Internet's vast array of information,
tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm
commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes
how our company collects information from all end users of our
Internet services (the "Services"), including those who access some
of our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors") and those who
may purchase Products and/or pay a monthly service fee to subscribe
to the Service ("Members"). This Policy also explains what we do
with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and
Members have concerning the collection and use of such information.
We request that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Our Company Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction
Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when
they sign up for our Products or Services including name, address,
telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card
number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the
Services. The personal information collected from Members during the
registration process (or at any other time) is used primarily to
provide a customized experience as you use our Products and
Services. Your information will never be licensed or sold to any
third party. However, we may make limited disclosure of personal
information under the specific circumstances described in the
"Disclosure" section below.
Disclosure
We may disclose Member and Visitor information to the following
third parties, under the following circumstances:
Companies who work on our behalf: We contract with other companies
to perform business support functions on our behalf, which may
involve limited access to your personal information. We require
these companies to use the information only to provide the
contracted services; they are prohibited from transferring the
information to another party except as needed to provide those
services. Some examples of these business support functions include
order fulfillment, coupon fulfillment, award and rebate
fulfillments, customer survey execution and information systems
management. We also may make aggregate non-personal information
available to select service providers.
Subsidiaries and joint ventures: A subsidiary or a joint venture is
an organization in which we own at least a 50% interest. If our
Company shares your information with a subsidiary or joint venture
partner, our Company will require that they not transfer your
information to another party for marketing purposes or use your
information contrary to your expressed choices. If you have
indicated that you do not want to receive any marketing information
from our Company, we will not share your information with our
subsidiary or joint venture partner for their marketing purposes.
Co-branded and Partner Pages: Our Company may share information with
partner companies who jointly present special offers or promotions
on co-branded pages within our site. You will be notified of this
sharing when you are asked to furnish personal data on such a page.
The partner's use of any information you submit will be governed by
the partner's own privacy notice, which you can review before
submitting your information.
Business Transfers: Our Company reserves the right to transfer your
personal information in connection with the sale or transfer of all
or a portion of our business or assets. If the business is sold or
transferred, our Company will give you an opportunity to tell us not
to transfer your personal information. In some cases, this may mean
that the new organization will not be able to continue providing to
you the services or products that our Company provided.
Law Enforcement: Our Company may disclose personal information to
third parties without your consent for any of the following reasons:
to comply with any law, regulation or court order, to cooperate with
Government investigations, to help prevent fraud or to enforce or
protect the rights of our Company or its subsidiaries.
With Your Consent: In all other cases, our Company will obtain your
express consent before sharing your information with third parties.
For example, our Company may conduct a joint offer or contest with a
third party and you will be asked whether your personal information
should be shared with that third party.
Online Shopping
If you order services or products directly from our Company we will
use the personal information you provide only to process that order.
We do not share this information with outside parties except to the
extent necessary to complete that order.
If you complete an order for some other company(ies) that may be
linked to our Site, such as an online gift order sent directly to a
recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the
recipient, such as the recipient's name, address, and phone number.
Our company has no control over the third parties' use of any
personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please
exercise care when doing so. We recommend that you familiarize
yourself with the Privacy and Terms of Use policies of any other
company(ies) whose web sites you may access from our site.
Online Advertisements
Our company may display our online advertisements. In those cases we
share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors
and Members collected through the registration process as well as
through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements or
joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture company
tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an
advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated
and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then
display or send the advertisement to the intended audience. Our
company does not share personal information about its Visitors or
Members with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Information about how to opt-out of online advertisements you may
receive from our Company will be contained in the ads themselves.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to our company, the
return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive.
Our company does not use the return email address for any other
purpose and does not share the return email address with any third
party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer
surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys
because they provide us with important information that helps us to
improve the types of products and services we offer and how we
provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will
remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a
third party. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
Information about how to opt-out of surveys will be contained in
survey communications.
We may take the information we receive from individuals responding
to our customer surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the
responses of other customers we may have, to create broader, generic
responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence,
hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other
demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to
improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new
services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying
information may be shared with third parties.
Automatic Collection of Information
Cookies: Our Company may use "“Cookies" to collect information.

Child Privacy
Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important,
and those under the age of 13 are protected by federal law. For that
reason, our Company does not knowingly permit children under the age
of 13 to become registered members of our sites, or to buy goods and
services on our sites, without verifiable parental consent. Our
Company does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information
about children under 13, except with their parent's express consent.
If we ever include children under the age of 13 as part of our
intended site audience, those specific web pages will, in accordance
with the provisions of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA), be clearly identified and provide an explicit privacy
notice; and we will provide processes to obtain parental approval,
provide access to information and allow parents to request removal
of their children's personal information.
Our Company encourages parents and guardians to spend time with
their children online and to participate in their interactive
activities and interests.
Public Forums
Some parts of our site may enable you to participate in public
services such as discussion boards, chats, and live events. Please
use discretion when posting personal information about yourself when
using these services. Be aware that when you disclose personal
information at these sites, such as your name, member name, email
address, etc., the information may be collected and used by others
to send unsolicited email. The services are open to the public, and
what you post there can be seen by anyone and is not protected. We
cannot control the comments that you may receive while you
participate in these services. You may find other people's comments
to be offensive, harmful or inaccurate.
Our Company's Commitment to Data Security
We implement a variety of administrative, managerial, and technical
security measures to help protect your personal information. Our
Company has various internal control standards which relate
specifically to the handling of personal information. These include
certain controls to help safeguard the information we collect
online. Our employees are trained to understand and comply with
these controls and we communicate our Privacy Notice, practices and
guidelines to our employees. However, while we strive to protect
your personal information, you must also take steps to protect your
information. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your
personal information while you are on the Internet.
Services and Web sites we sponsor have security measures in place to
protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under
our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and
security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our
security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally
obtaining this information.
