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")-those who access some of our Services but do not
have accounts ("Visitors") as well as those who may purchase
Products and/or pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service
("Members")-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. Our company collects information in different ways from
Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services and
the network of Web sites accessible through our Service. We use this information
primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Products and
Services, and generally, do not share this information with third parties.
However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received
your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when
we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases
described below.
Registration: 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
is used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes).
This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically
stated otherwise or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where our company and a partner jointly promote
our Services, we may provide the partner certain personal information,
such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the
Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing
us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner
for any other purpose. We may also generate non-identifying and aggregate
profiles from personal information Members provide during registration
(such as the total number, but not the names, of Members). As explained
in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information
to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
Our Company Partners and Sponsors: Some products and services may be
offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent
contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members
some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and
maintain personal information. In these instances, you will be notified
before any such data is collected or transferred and may decide not to
use that particular service or feature.
Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or co-branded Web
Pages that are cosponsored by an affiliate, independent contractor seller,
or non-affiliated partner. Our company may share non-identifying and aggregate
information (except as described above), but not personal information,
with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services
offered.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase products and services
or register to receive materials, such as a newsletter, catalog or new
product and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide
contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone
number, and credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Special Cases: It is our company's policy not to use or share the personal
information about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones described
above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise
prohibit such unrelated uses.
However, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members,
or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible
through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe
that it is reasonable to do so, including: credit agencies, collection
agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to satisfy laws,
such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy
Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information;
to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring
legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy
or Terms Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly;
or to protect our company and our Members.

in any Member Directory, or other public areas of our Web sites or the
Internet, becomes public information. You should exercise caution when

sponsor have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and
