CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We generally direct our services to individuals that are over 18. In any case, we won't knowingly allow anyone under 13 to register with any of our sites or to provide any other personally identifying information.

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The information we gather falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to our websites when they submit their site to our search engine, sign-up at our forums, submit to our classifieds, etc. or initiate transactions, and (2) information gathered on usage patterns and preferences as visitors navigate through our sites, read our email newsletters, or use our services, such as free email. In some cases.   We however do not store, redistribute or give away any personal information submitted to our sites nor do we use any software or devise that gathers such information.   All information supplied by you is volunteered except where necessary to collect funds for processing of transactions.

Contests and Other Promotions. From time to time, we may offer contests, sweepstakes or other promotions on our sites. If you enter one of these promotions, you'll have to provide information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number and email address) so that we can contact you if you win. We may share this information with any co-sponsor of the promotion, which we will identify in the official rules. If you don't want us to collect the information requested in the registration form or to provide it to contest co-sponsors, please do not enter the contest or sweepstakes.

Email Newsletters. We may also send email newsletters on topics that we believe are of interest to our visitors. You may always unsubscribe later if you decide not to receive further mailings of the newsletter from us.

IP Addresses. Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer's connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you visit our sites. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data -- such as the web pages you view). We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our sites to the interests of our visitors, and to measure traffic within our sites. For example, if you are shopping on our site, we may use your IP address to help identify you and your shopping cart. Your IP address does not identify you personally to us. But we maintain the right to use reverse IP address inquiry.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Third Party Provider Partners. We also make some products and services available through our sites through cooperative relationships with the third party providers ("Provider Partners") of such goods and services, where the brands of our Provider Partner may or may not appear prominently on our site. We can not be held responsible for their methods of gathering information.

Advertisers. When we present information to our advertisers — to help them understand our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our websites — it is usually in the form of aggregated statistics on traffic to various pages within our sites. From time to time, we may share more particularized information on visitors to our sites with those marketing products and services that we believe may be of interest to you, however we will never disclose ANY personal information.

Statistical Information. Much of the information we collect is in the form of aggregated statistics, such as the traffic that visits various pages within our sites, and the habits and preferences of our audience. Such aggregated information does not include any information that would identify you personally. We may use such aggregated information and disclose it to third parties as we see fit.

Sites to Which We Link. Of course, our sites include links to plenty of other websites, and provide access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we don't control. When you access another website or purchase products or services or conduct other transactions through our websites, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you're visiting or the provider of such products or services.

PURCHASES

When you are ready to make a purchase on our site, we will ask you to provide us with certain information, including your contact details (such as your name, address, telephone and email), and your billing information (such as your credit card number and expiration date). We may also ask you to provide additional information such as unique identifiers (such as your date of birth), and registration information (login name and password). You will be able to review, update, or delete the information you have provided us (except, of course any information that we do not store) at any time by accessing your account on our site.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

A final note: The Web is an evolving medium. Accordingly, we may need to amend our privacy policy at some point in the future, and we will inform you if we make any material changes (e.g., by posting appropriate notices on our site via our forums).
