Your Information and How We Use It:
This Site can collect two kinds of information: (1) information that
personally identifies you (such as your name and e-mail address); and (2)
information that does not personally identify you (such as the number of users
who log on to the Site on a daily basis). As a general policy, no personally
identifiable information is automatically collected from your visit to this
Site. However, in certain circumstances, you may be asked to provide us with
some specific information about yourself in order to use specific features on
the Site, such as requests for estimates, sweepstakes, surveys and other
promotions. The personally identifiable information you submit (such as your
name, phone number and e-mail address) will be used to carry out your requests
and respond to your inquiries. To accomplish this, we may share your personally
identifiable information with third parties who represent that they will
provide the same level privacy protection as we have stated herein, that
perform functions on our behalf (or on behalf of our partners), such as
dealers, companies or individuals that deliver merchandise, participate in our
promotions, administer our promotions, provide marketing or promotional assistance,
analyze data or provide customer service (but such information will be shared
only to the extent they need such information to perform their functions). Your
personally identifiable information may also be used by us or shared with our
subsidiaries, affiliates and dealers to provide you with product information
and promotional and other offers. You may always direct us (by contacting us at
the address listed below) not to share your personally identifiable information
with these parties or not to use your personally identifiable information to
provide you with such information or offers. We may also use your information
as otherwise disclosed at the point where such information is collected or in
any additional terms and conditions applicable to the particular feature of the
Site. Except as provided herein, your personally
identifiable information will not be provided to any third parties without
prior approval from you.
From time to time, we may collect non-personally identifiable information from
you through the standard operation of our servers. Such information can include
the type of browser being used (e.g., Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer),
the operating system you are using (e.g., Windows 95, Windows 98, Macintosh),
the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Compuserve), and the number of users that visit a specific
page on the Site and the character and duration of such visits. This
information may be used to help analyze site traffic and improve our services.
We may also aggregate such information to create statistical data and share it
with potential advertisers, partners, affiliates and other third parties. At no
point, however, will the aggregated information personally identify you.
We reserve the right to disclose any personally identifiable or non-personally
identifiable information if we are required to do so by law or if we reasonably
believe that such action is necessary in order to: (a) fulfill a government
request; (b) conform with the requirements of the law or to comply with legal
process served on us; (c) to protect or defend our legal rights or property,
this Site, or its users; or (d) in an emergency to protect the health and
safety of this Site’s users or the general public.
Children Under 13: This Site is
operated in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. We do
not request children under the age of 13 to provide more personally
identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an
activity on the Site. Children under the age of 13 should not provide any
personally identifiable information on the Site without the knowledge and
permission of a parent or guardian. If (at the point where a user’s personally
identifiable information is collected) we determine that such user is under the
age of 13, the personally identifiable information provided by such user will
not be used or maintained without the consent of his/her parent or guardian. In
certain circumstances, we may require children under the age of 13 to provide
us with the contact information for their parent or legal guardian. We will use
this information (i) to notify such parents or legal
guardians of their children’s participation in an activity on the Site and of
our privacy practices, and/or (ii) to seek consent to their children’s
participation in an activity on the Site. Without his/her parent’s or legal
guardian’s permission, a child under the age of 13 may not be able to
participate in certain activities.
IP Address: An IP address is a number
that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web.
Web servers, the big computers that "serve up" Web
pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We
collect IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report aggregate
information to our partners, and to track the use of the Site. When visitors
request pages from the Site, our servers log the visitors' IP addresses. It is
not our practice to link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable,
which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor remains
anonymous to us. However, we reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify
a visitor only when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the
Site's policies or to protect our service or customers, the Site, or others.
Cookies: "Cookies" are
small text files from a Web site that are stored on your hard drive. These
small text files make using a Web site more convenient by saving your passwords
and preferences for you. Cookies themselves do not contain any personally
identifiable information. We may analyze the information derived from these
cookies and match such information with data provided by you or another party.
We may provide our analysis and certain non-personally identifiable information
to potential partners, advertisers (who may use this information to provide
advertisements tailored to your interests) or other third parties, but we will
not disclose any personally identifiable information, except as provided in
this Privacy Policy.
Also, we may allow third parties that serve advertisements on our Site
(including our promotion partners) to place and access cookies on your
computer, but they will not be able to access our cookies. The use of cookies by such third parties are not subject to our
Privacy Policy, but are subject to their own respective privacy policies.
You can have the option of deciding whether or not to accept a cookie by
resetting your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is being sent to your
hard drive. You may also delete a cookie manually from your hard drive. Please
note, however, that some parts of this Site may not function properly or may be
considerably slower if you refuse to accept a cookie or choose to disable your
cookies settings.
Keeping Your Information Secure: We have reasonable and appropriate security
measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the
information under our control. Please be advised, however, that while we
strive to protect your personally identifiable 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 personally identifiable information.
Other Sites: This Site may
contain links to other web sites that we do not control or maintain. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices employed by these other web sites. We
encourage you to note when you leave this Site and to read the privacy
statements of such other web sites before submitting any personally
identifiable information. In addition, this Site may link to web sites owned or
operated by third parties. Please note that the other third party web sites are
subject to the privacy policies posted on those sites.
Access to and Ability to Correct Personal Data: Upon request via postal mail, e-mail, or
phone, we will provide you a summary of any personally identifiable information
retained by us regarding you. You may modify, correct, change, or update this
information or request that information be removed from our records. If we
receive such a request, we will send personally identifiable information only
to the e-mail address on file for you.
Opt-Out Procedure: You may opt
out of having personally identifiable information collected by us, used by us
for secondary purposes, disclosed by us to third parties, or used by us or
third parties to send promotional correspondences to you by contacting us.

questions or comments about our privacy practices, or
if you wish to review/amend any personally identifiable information you have
provided or wish to opt-out of any further promotional efforts or sharing of
information, you can contact us at:
