("GMB"). We respect the privacy of your personally identifiable information.
To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online
information practices and the choices available to you concerning the way that
we use the information collected online at this Website.
Information Collection and Use
We collect your personally identifiable information when you sign up to

this Privacy Policy at this Website, but do not complete the full registration
process. The types of personally identifiable information that we collect at
this Website, during registration and when you make a purchase include,
without limitation, your name, street address, e-mail address, telephone
number and credit card information. In addition, we may request information
about your use of, or interest in, the types of products and services offered
by the third-party advertisers with whom we have partnered to offer you the

Any personal information that you submit at the Website remains your property.
However, by submitting that information to us, you grant to us the right to

limitation: a) effectuating a purchase from us that you make at the Website;
b) transferring your personal information to a third party to effectuate a
purchase from a third party advertiser at the Website; c) marketing purposes
such as sharing your information with third party advertisers; d) providing
promotional offers to you by means of e-mail advertising, telemarketing,
direct mail marketing, pop-ups, pop-unders and/or online banner advertising;
e) tracking compliance with our Terms and Conditions; and f) for validation,
suppression, content improvement and feedback purposes. You agree that we may
contact you at any time with updates and/or any other information that we may
deem appropriate for you to receive in connection with your continued use of
the Website. We also reserve the right to release current or past member
information in the event that we believe that this Website is being or has
been used to commit unlawful acts, if the information is subpoenaed, if we are
sold or acquired or when we deem it necessary or appropriate. By agreeing to
this Privacy Policy, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or
communication to any third party when we, in our sole discretion, determine
the disclosure to be appropriate, including, without limitation, sharing your
e-mail address with other third parties for suppression purposes in compliance
with the requirements of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to
time.
In connection with the products and services available for purchase at the
Website, we will collect your credit card information. We will use your credit
card information to bill you for your purchases and we may share your credit
card information with third parties for the sole purpose of effectuating any
transactions that you enter into at the Website. In addition, by submitting
your credit card information to us, you authorize us to periodically verify
that your credit card account continues to be a valid and active one by
charging and, thereafter immediately crediting, a small sum to the card. Such
verification may be conducted through a third party service provider and, in
that case, we will share your specific credit card information with this third
party for verification purposes. Apart from the foregoing uses, we reserve the
right to share with other third parties the fact that we have credit card
information on file for specific individuals, but we will not share the actual
credit card information with other third parties without the applicable
individual's prior informed consent.

you via telemarketing in accordance with the ATSR. Moreover, by registering
with, making a purchase from, or requesting information from, a third party
advertiser at or through the Website, such action shall constitute a purchase,
an inquiry and/or an application with the respective third party advertiser
for purposes of the ATSR and you may be contacted via e-mail, direct mail
and/or telephone by such third party advertiser in accordance with the ATSR.

individuals that have received targeted promotional campaigns for the purpose
of formatting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in
