The purpose of our policy is

and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the

I. Personal Information
Which We Collect
We may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including
your e-mail address, postal address, home or work telephone number, credit
card number (only if you choose to purchase a
product online), for such purposes as correspondence, making a purchase, or participating in online
contests, surveys or games. If you choose to give us personal information via the Internet that we
or our business partners may need--to correspond with you, to process an order or to provide you with
a subscription, for example--then it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information.
Like many other commercial sites, our site may utilize a standard technology called a "cookie" to
collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a Web site recognize
a user's browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been
set while the user was previously browsing the site. Our cookie cannot retrieve any other data from
your hard drive or pass on a computer virus. Our Web site may use cookies to enhance your visit. Cookies
can securely store a user's password, personalize Homes, identify which parts of a site have been visited
or keep track of selections, such as those selected in a "shopping cart." Our cookies may
collect a domain name (for example, "aol.com" or "netcom.com") and track a path
through our Web pages. We only use "cookies" to gather the information indicated in this
policy and do not use cookies to gather personal identifying information about you (such as your name)
without your consent.
We also use cookies in connection
with our chat rooms in order to record your preferences. These cookies store
automatically information pertaining to the last chat room you visited, as well
as certain comments that can be issues in the chat room, in order to facilitate
your experience with the chat rooms. No additional identifying information is
stored on these cookies. You also have the option of choosing to allow us to
use a cookie to store your username, or "handle", and password on your
computer for use in that chat rooms, forums and other sites as indicated on the
particular site.
We may require you to supply
us with personal information (demographic information such as age, income, education,
population data, zip codes) during a "registration" process online
prior to using certain features of our site (for example, prior to entering an
online sweepstakes). We use this general information in statistical form to understand
our site's demographics, such as percentage of male and female users, geographic
location, age ranges, or a combination of these or other demographics. As detailed
below, we will not share specific information about you to advertisers or third
parties without your consent.
II. Use of User Information
We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate (group) user behavior. This allows us to measure relative
consumer interest in the various areas of our Web sites for product development purposes. Any information
we collect is used for our own internal purposes to improve the content of the Web site, to enhance
users' experiences when visiting our site, to customize the content and/or layout of our pages,
and to provide the services required by an individual user. We do not use personal identifying
information for any reason that is not disclosed either in this Policy or at the time the information
is requested. Aside from an automatic reply to an e-mail received by us, it is our intent not to
e-mail to you unless you request a particular service, or consent to being contacted by e-mail.
There may be instances where you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an e-mail list that
will send information about the site or our advertisers to your e-mail address, but after an initial
mailing gauging your interest this will be continued only with your permission and consent.
Third-Party advertising
companies utilize certain technologies to deliver specific advertisements,
which appear on pages throughout this Web site, to the site's users. These companies
may collect, store and use non-personally identifiable user information. If you
want to prevent a third-party advertiser from collecting such user information,
you may either visit each third party advertiser's Web site directly and opt-out,
or click here to visit the NAI gateway opt-out site. The NAI gateway opt-out site

III. Disclosure to Third
Parties
We do not share personal identifying information with any third party without your permission. We disclose
only in aggregate (group) form our statistical analyses or demographics of users to third parties,
such as advertisers or other business partners. This aggregate information does not include names or
e-mail addresses. In some instances, we operate shared Web sites with businesses affiliated with us.
Our Privacy Policy will apply to these Web sites. PLEASE BE AWARE that when you voluntarily disclose
personal information (such as your name or e-mail address) in chat areas or bulletin boards or to third
parties, that information may be collected by others outside our control and may result in unsolicited
messages from others.

Policy at
any time, and will post any changes to this Policy as soon as they go into effect.
V. Security of Information
We seek to ensure the security of personal information submitted by our users. When collecting credit
card information for online purchases, we offer secured-server transactions that encrypt your information
in transit to thwart someone from intercepting it and misusing it. When we collect other information
from our users, it is stored in an area to which the general public does not have access.
