You agree that we may contact you at any time with updates and/or any other information

What is a Cookie?
You must allow cookies and pop-up windows to be active on your
system to participate in our programs. Cookies are a feature of web browser (Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, etc.) software that allows web servers to recognize
the computer used to access a site. They are small pieces of data that are stored
by a user's web browser on one site to simplify subsequent interactions with that
site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transaction
on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from site to site
and to complete transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online
experience easier and more personalized.
Our site utilizes cookies to collect information about how our site is used. Passive
Information gathered may include the date and time of visits, the site pages viewed,
time spent at our site, the sites visited just before and just after our site. If
you do not wish to transmit "cookie" information about yourself, you may
turn off the cookie function in your web browser; please consult the "Help"
section of your browser to correctly do so.
Our site's servers also automatically identify your computer by its Internet Protocol
address which is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by
your Internet Service Provider. Your IP address may be used to address problems
with our server or administer our site or to gather broad demographic information
about our members.
How Do We Use the Information Collected?
Broadly speaking, persons we employ directly, or as contractors
or agents at our direction, use Active Information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer services such as support, and distributing
information about products and services we think may be of interest to our members
from our advertiser merchants. We may use the Active Information or Passive Information
you provide to us to contact you about changes to our site, new services, features
or products we offer, or other information we think you shall find valuable. If
at any time you do not wish to receive such information, you may "opt-out"
by clicking here.
We use Passive Information to gather information about our members and to enhance
and design our site to make it easier, faster and friendlier to use. Additionally,
cookies help us know information about how many people visit our site, when they
visit and how they use our service. Passive Information may result in your viewing
of particular advertising based on your user habits for your viewing on our site
and a shopping experience customized to you in content, services and goods.
Your Information In Relation to Our Advertiser's
Offers
You are able to access other merchant's sites through our site.
When you opt to receive information or sign up for a trial offer, you may be doing
so through third party sites and with other companies over which we have no control.
You should read those sites' privacy policies to make sure you agree to them before
using such sites. If you wish to opt out of their mailings, you must do so through
those sites.
Sharing Information in Other Scenarios
We may be required by subpoena, law or government agency to
disclose both Active and Passive Information you have provided to us. Should we
buy or sell assets of our company, another company may need to review our company's
assets, including your information, to make business decisions as to whether to
acquire such assets. The parties who perform services for us (credit card processors,
merchant bank, our Internet Service Provider) may also have access to your information
in performing such services.
How Do We Secure Active Information and Passive Information?
We secure your personal information submitted by you by using
reasonable technical efforts to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, or accidental
loss or destruction of Active Information and Passive Information. Efforts we may
take to ensure the security include but are not limited to: maintaining our own
servers under our private control, data encryption and/or monitoring of our network
and data for intrusions. Communications you may have with us via email or snailmail
may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures are in place prior
to your sending information. Therefore, if you choose to communicate with us, We
collect your personally identifiable information when you sign up to receive products
and/or services at the Website. We may also collect your personally identifiable
information when you otherwise agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy at this
Website, but do not complete the full registration process. The types of personally
identifiable information that we collect at this Website, during registration and
when you make a purchase include, without limitation, your name, street address,
e-mail address, telephone number, social security number and credit card information.
In addition, we may request information about your use of, or interest in, the types
of products and services offered by the third-party advertisers with whom we have
partnered to offer you the products and services available at this Website.
