Aggregate Information
From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information
about the use of the Site and the
Service, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long
they stay on that page, and which
hyperlinks, if any, they "click" on. We collect this information through the use
of technologies such as "cookies" and "IP
addresses", which are discussed in greater detail below. We may also group this
information into aggregate visitor data
in order to describe the use of the Site and Service to our existing or
potential business partners or other third parties, or
in response to a government request. However, please be assured that this
aggregate data will in no way personally
identify you, other list members or any other visitors to the Site.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the web. Web servers, the computers that "serve" web
pages,
automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Company collects IP
addresses for purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information
to third parties and to track the use of the Site. When visitors request pages
from the Site or click on a link in a mailing sent through the Service our
servers log the visitors' IP addresses. We reserve the right to use IP addresses
to identify a visitor or list member when it will enhance the users
experience or if we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the Site's
policies or to protect the Company, the Site, its visitors, the Service, our
Internet Service Provider partners, the list members or others.

hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you

subscription review site to verify the member's login status. They are not used
to store personal information, or to retain historical or transactional

tracked with cookies. We may use the information from cookies to make
improvements and updates to the Site and to tailor our services to our

SECURITY AND INFORMATION PROTECTION:
The security of your information is important to us. When you enter sensitive

generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to

over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.
Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your
personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Firewalls
Protecting the security of your personal information is very important to us.
When we store information that you have provided to us when registering for the
Service, that information is protected by security measures that include
"firewalls" (a combination of computer hardware and software that helps keep
unauthorized visitors from accessing information within our computer base
network), (a combination of computer hardware and software that helps detect any
unauthorized visitors) and other tools such as data encryption and physical
security, where appropriate. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet or data repository can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while Company strives to protect your personal information and privacy, we
cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or
transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or
inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.

Please be aware that when you are on the Site, or when you receive an email
message from us through the Service, you could be directed to other sites that
are beyond our control. There may be links to other sites from the Site's pages
or from the email message we send to you that take you outside our Site.
These other sites may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data, or
solicit personal information. The privacy policies of these other sites may be
significantly different from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the
privacy practices of these other sites and cannot guarantee the security of
any of your personal information collected there. Note that when you link to a

in

representation, endorsement or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.
