Special
Offers and Updates
Established members

on products,
services, special
deals, and a
newsletter. Out of
respect for the
privacy of our users
we present the
option to not
receive these types
of communications.
Service
Announcements
On rare occasions it
is necessary to send
out a strictly
service related
announcement. For
instance, if our
service is
temporarily
suspended for
maintenance we might
send users an
email. Generally,
users may not
opt-out of these
communications,
though they can
deactivate their
account. However,
these communications
are not promotional
in nature.
Customer

users on a regular
basis to provide
requested services
and in regards to
issues relating to
their account we
reply via email or
phone, in accordance
with the users
wishes.
Sharing
Though we make every
effort to preserve
user privacy, we may
need to disclose
personal information
when required by law
wherein we have a
good-faith belief
that such action is
necessary to comply
with a current
judicial proceeding,
a court order or
legal process served
on our Web site.
These are the
instances in which
we will share users'
personal
information: We DO
NOT Share Personal

ship orders, and a
credit card
processing company

goods and services.

not retain, share,
store or use
personally
identifiable
information for any
secondary purposes.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given
the opportunity to
'opt-out' of having
their information
used for purposes
not directly related
to our site at the
point where we ask
for information.
For example, our
order form has an
'opt-out' mechanism
so users who buy a
product from us, but
don't want any
marketing material,
can keep their email
address off of our
lists.
Users
who no longer wish
to receive our
newsletter and
promotional
communications may

these communications

Notification of Changes If we

have opted out of
all communication
with the site, or

their account, then
they will not be
contacted, nor will
their personal

in this new manner.

make any material
changes in our
privacy practices
that do not affect
user information
already stored in
our database, we
will post a
prominent notice on
our Web site
notifying users of
the change. In some
cases where we post
a notice we will
also email users,
who have opted to
receive
communications from
us, notifying them
of the changes in
our privacy
practices.
