Use of IP Address
IP addresses are numbers that are automatically assigned to Your
computer, and, if associated with other individually identifiable
information, could be considered personal information. Your user IP
address information is used only for Our internal tracking and
marketing purposes.
Cookies are a standard technology used by commercial web services
to store small pieces of information on your hard drive by sending a
small string of text to your browser. They make Your use of Our
Sites more pleasing and efficient by "personalizing" Your user
interface, for example, or identifying which parts of a site You
have previously visited. They also enable Us to pre-populate, or
automatically fill out, forms and schedules, or to assist You in
visiting multiple pages within Our Sites during the same session
without having to re-enter your password multiple times. For Your
convenience, We also use longer-lasting cookies to display Your
email address on Our sign-in form so that You do not have to retype
your email address each time You log in to Your Account on any of
Our Sites. Cookies enable us to tailor the information You receive
and to assist our Partners by identifying You as having an Account
with Us. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, unless You
have configured Yours not to accept them. In order for Us to provide
You with services on Our Sites, Your browser must accept cookies, as
they are essential for site administration and security. We do not
use cookies either to collect individually identifiable information
or to collect non-individually identifiable information using a
cookie that is combined with a personal identifier.
WHAT GENERAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT FROM
YOU AND WHY?
"General Information" is information about You or Your activities
on Our Sites that do not identify You personally. When You use the
Internet, Your web browser or software may communicate certain
information to the host websites You visit. This information may
include the unique number assigned to Your server or Internet
connection, the capabilities and features of Your computer, You
geographic location, and Your movement and activity within a
particular Site. We collect the same information on all of Our
Sites. We use this General Information to generate statistics about
visitors to Our Sites.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
The information We collect is used to (i) to respond to Your
inquiries; (ii) provide customer services and resolve any
complaints; (iii) improve Our Sites and service and resolve any
technical problems; (iv) communicate with You concerning the

Partners; (v) cross-reference with other Personal Information that
We have acquired about You or may acquire about You through other
sources; (vi) create aggregate data; (vii) ensure compliance with
the Our Terms of Use; and (viii) comply with any applicable laws and
regulations. We may provide Your information to government officials
and agencies as required by law, and Partners as part of business
operations, transaction processing, and marketing efforts, as
identified below. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Partner”
shall mean any person or entity with whom We enter into any kind of
business transaction who is under an obligation to Us to use
reasonable care to keep Personal Information confidential.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, We will not sell,
trade, or disclose to third parties any Personal Information
obtained by Us through Our Sites or from Our Partners about You. If
disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we cannot control,
and are not responsible for, the manner in which any of such
companies and other entities use Your Personal Information. We may
disclose Personal Information (i) to companies and other entities
who work with Us or those companies to fulfill Your request; (ii) to
companies that help process the transactions You request, in order
to protect Your transactions from fraud and verify Your identity;
(iii) that We in good faith believe is necessary or appropriate to
cooperate in investigations of fraud, intellectual property
infringements or other activity that is illegal or may expose Us or
You to legal liability, or to conduct investigations of violations
of the Our Terms of Use; (iv) when required by law or to comply with
a court order, subpoena, search warrant or other legal process; (v)
to comply with legal, regulatory or administrative requirements of
governmental authorities (including, without limitation, requests
from the governmental agency authorities to view Your Personal
Information); (vi) to protect and defend Us, Our subsidiaries and
affiliates and any of their officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, agents, contractors and partners, in connection with any
legal action, claim or dispute; (vii) to prevent imminent physical
harm; (viii) to share aggregated statistical or demographic data
with Our affiliates, business partners or for public relations (this
aggregated information is not tied to Personal Information); (ix) to
provide data, including Personal Information about You, with Our
parent, affiliates, subsidiaries and Partners; (x) to sell or
otherwise provide to third parties in the event of a bankruptcy or
liquidation; and (xi) to sell or otherwise provide to third parties
in the event of a future merge or acquisition by another company. In
the event We merge or are acquired by another company, the successor
company will have access to Your Personal Information in order to
continue to provide services, but would continue to be bound by this
Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended as described in the
subsection labeled "Changes to this Privacy Policy" below.
HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
At times, We offer secure Web pages to collect certain kinds of
user information and We store certain kinds of data in encrypted
form. We follow reasonable technical and management practices to
help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data
stored on Our system. Although no computer system is completely
secure, We believe the measures implemented on Our Sites reduce the
likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type
of data involved.
HOW LONG WE KEEP USER INFORMATION
We generally keep user data on Our server or in Our archives for
as long as We reasonably need it. We may alter this practice
according to changing requirements. For example, We may delete some
data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for
longer periods if the law requires it. In addition, information
posted in a public forum could stay in the public domain
indefinitely.
Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to
the extent feasible and within Our direct control. Please note that
We have greater control over recently collected data than over
archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it
may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those
cases, Our general data retention policy applies.

INFORMATION

Partners for marketing purposes, or if You do not want to receive
certain communications and offers from Us You can “opt out” of such
sharing, communications and offers by visiting

identifying information, nor do We knowingly collect any Personal

Personal Information to Us, in accordance with the Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act (please see the Federal Trade Commission’s
