WHAT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION IS COLLECTED
Our site's various registration forms require users to give us contact information
(such as name, address, e-mail address and social security number). Certain other
information, such as demographic information and responses to market surveys may
be collected by us during the registration process.
In addition, when purchasing
products and services through this web site, we will collect financial information,
such as credit cards. Not all information is required to be provided (required items
will be clearly noted), but if you should choose to withhold any requested information,
you may not be eligible to participate in or receive full benefit from all products
and services on the web site.
We also use your Internet Protocol ("IP") address to help diagnose problems
with our server, and to administer our web site. Your IP address is also used to
help identify you and to gather broad demographic information.
HOW INFORMATION IS USED AND WITH WHOM IT IS SHARED
We use your personally identifiable information to enhance this web site and to personalize
your experience. We use customer contact information from various registration forms
to send the user information about our products and services and promotional material

also used to contact the visitor when necessary and shared or sold with other companies
who may want to contact our visitors. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings;
see the Opt-Out and Corrections Section below.
We also may run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information
(like their e-mail address), financial information (like their account or credit
card numbers), and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or income
level). We use contact data from our contests to send users information about our
company and promotional material from some of our partners. The customer's contact
information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary and shared or sold
with other companies who may want to contact our visitors. Users may opt-out of
receiving future mailings; see the Opt-Out and Corrections Section below.
Financial information that is collected from our users may be used to check a user's
qualifications for registration and bill the user for products and services. We
will not sell your financial information to third parties. This web site also supplements
the information that you provide with information that is received from third parties.
