WITH WHOM THE

SHARED
At times, we may share
your personally

with others for various
purposes. The following
outlines the ways in
which your information
may be shared with
others:
* Agents: We employ
other businesses,
certain services and
individuals to perform
functions on our behalf.
Examples include
fulfilling orders,
sending e-mail, removing
repetitive information
from customer lists,
Site analysis, analyzing
data, providing
marketing assistance,
processing credit card
payments, and providing
customer service. They
may have access to
personally identifiable
information needed to
perform their functions,
but may not use it for
other purposes.
* Promotional Offers: We
may send offers to you
on behalf of other
partners. When we do
this, we do not give
that partner your name
and address. If you do
not want to receive such
offers, you may opt out
in the email or change
your preferences.
* Aggregate Information:
We may share aggregate
information such as
demographics and Site
usage statistics to
advertisers, sponsors or
other organizations.
When this type of
information is shared,
the other parties do not
have access to your
personally identifiable
information.
* Opt-in and Opt-out
Programs: Throughout the
Site you may be
presented with
opportunities to receive
special offers from
third parties. An
opt-in/opt-out message
will ask you if you
would like your
information to be
shared. If you do choose
to have your information
shared, in an effort to
protect you, third
parties who have access
to personally
identifiable information
must abide by the
current Site privacy
policy. However, we are
not responsible for the
privacy practices of
these other companies,
and you should review
the privacy practices of
such Web sites prior to
providing your
personally identifiable
information.
* Third-Party Ad Serving
& Audience and Traffic
Measurement Services:
The Site may use a third
party network advertiser
to serve the
advertisements on the
Site or may use a
traffic measurement
service to analyze the
traffic on the Site.
Network advertisers are
third parties that
display advertisements
based on your visits to
this Site and other Web
sites you have visited.
Third-party ad serving
enables us to target
advertisements to you
for products or Web
sites you might be
interested in. Audience
and Traffic Measurement
Services allow us to
collect anonymous
traffic and behavior
information from our
Site by monitoring
anonymous visitor
activity. Although
advertisers or other
companies do not have
access to the Site
cookies, the Site's
advertisers, sponsors
and/or traffic
measurement services may
themselves set and
access their own cookies
on your computer if you
choose to have your
cookies enabled in your
browser. Cookies allow
third party advertisers
to show you
advertisements or
content you might be
interested in. Other
companies' use of their
cookies is subject to
their own privacy
policies, not this one.

third party ad servers

Affiliates: We may share

in which your personally
identifiable information

such a case, your
personally identifiable
information, which we
have gathered, may be
one of the business
assets we transfer.
* Legal Process: In the
event we are required to
respond to subpoenas,
court orders or other
legal process your
personally identifiable
information may be
disclosed pursuant to
such subpoena, court
order or legal process,
which may be without
notice to you.
