We are committed to protecting and maintaining your privacy to the
best of our ability. Our goals are to provide the greatest user
experience and customer service possible while keeping your information
private. As a practical matter, we could not operate nor provide the
level of quality our customers expect without logging certain data and
in some cases providing that data to others. For your understanding and
protection, we encourage you to read this Privacy Policy.
We reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change this policy
at any time. You should check back from time to time as you continue to
use our website to be current on any Privacy Policy changes. By using
our website, you agree in advance to accept any such changes.
Aggregate Data ::
In the normal course of operating our website, our servers
automatically gather certain non-personal information and business data
pertaining to the use of the site ("Aggregate Data"). For example, we
may collect the number and frequency of visitors, hits on specific
pages, advertisements and promotions, access by users of partner and
other web sites, revenue collection and subscriptions. We use such
collective data in the aggregate to help us understand what aspects of
the site are most popular so we can improve our services and features.
We also may provide Aggregate Data to our partners, advertisers,
members or others so they too can understand how people use our site.
Use of Web Beacons ::
Our Web pages contain scripting that allow us to count users who
have visited those pages. We may include Web beacons in promotional
e-mail messages or Newsletters in order to determine whether messages
have been opened and acted upon.
Use of your Personal Information ::
We collect and use your personal information to operate our
business, website and deliver information on the products and services
you have requested. These services may include the display of
customized content and advertising based upon the information we have

products or services, personal information collected on our Website may
in rare cases be accessed and used by other services as necessary to
provide such services. Any use of such information within our Website
will remain subject to the limitations of this privacy statement. We
also use your personal information to communicate with you and to
better supply to you our goods and services. We may send certain
mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing
reminders, information on technical service issues, and security
announcements. Some services, may send periodic member letters that are
considered part of the service. We may also occasionally send you
product surveys. If we do this we may use this information to send you
only information you are interested in. We do this so you are not
contacted unnecessarily for things you have no interest in. We may also
send you promotional mailings to inform you of other products or
services available from our Website, store and its affiliates.
We do not sell, rent or lease our customer lists to third parties.
We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business
partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In
those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address,
telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. We do not use
or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or
political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

organization, except:

acting as our agent to provide customer service, focus group testing
and technical services. In such cases, these third parties are bound by
this Privacy Policy and may not reuse your Personal Data.

required by applicable law, regulation, subpoena, warrant or other
legal process to disclose such information to law enforcement
authorities or anyone else.

friend about our site, products and/or services, we may ask them for
the friend's name, e-mail address, and possibly other information. We

communications be sent.

surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the website user or
other customer therefore has a choice whether to disclose requested
contact information (such as name and mailing address) and demographic
information (such as zip code or job title). In addition to the other
uses set forth in this policy, contact information collected in
connection with surveys and contests is used to notify the winners and
award prizes and to monitor or improve the use of, and satisfaction
with our company. Subject to the given customers preferences (as
described in the "Permission" section below), such information also may
be shared with third party sponsors of such surveys or contests.

contact information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally,
