Information on the The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 2000 can be found at http://www.cdt.org/security/000927hr5018.shtml.

3. The Operator recognizes the Better Business bureau Code of Practice and in the event of a complaint is bound by guidance and the judgment of the Better Business Bureau. The BBB's Code of Practice can be found at www.bbb.org.

1. The Operator can send e-mails to Members relating to the Label, their membership, or any matter which relates to or is incidental to the services which the Operator agrees to provide under these Terms and Conditions.

2. Unless Members have requested that the Operators does so, the Operator will not provide or sell Members details to third parties in order that advertisers and/or third parties can provide information direct to Members in relation to goods and services that may interest them.

3. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in these Terms and Conditions, the Operator may contact Members via email with products, services and promotions. Such correspondence will only be sent to those Members who have opted in. All email correspondence includes an unsubscribe option.

4. If a Member wishes to opt out of receiving such information, they should use the unsubscribe option included in all email correspondence stating that they would prefer not to receive such mailings.

Section G - Use of Cookies

1. A cookie is a numeric text file that is stored by each Members browser on their computer's hard drive. All information Members provide to the Operator is held securely on the Operators servers and not on Members computers.

2. The Operator uses cookies to identify Members and make logging on more convenient. Having an automatic login cookie on Members computer's hard drive enables Members to bypass login screens, meaning they don't need to remember their username and password each time they login to the Website. This process will take place automatically unless Members have cookies disabled in their browser, or a Firewall set up by a network they are using prohibits the use of browser cookies.

3. After registration, the Operator will employ a registration cookie to recognize a Member and their access privileges on the Website. It will also track a members use of the Application.

4. The Operator logs IP addresses and the location of Members computers for the purpose of administration and troubleshooting. The Operator will also occasionally use IP addresses to track a members session. The Operator will not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information

5. Such information helps the Operator maintain the smooth running of the Website. The Operator may also perform statistical analysis of Member behavior in order to measure relative interest in the various areas of the Website (for website development and improvement purposes) and to inform advertisers and/or sponsors, if any, as to how many Members have seen or clicked on their banner adverts. In performing this analysis, the Operator will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form. Personal information will not be provided to any third party if a Member opts out.

6. The Operator may use information about Members to target banner advertising, meaning a Member will see advertising that may be more relevant to it. In these circumstances, the Member would only be targeted as part of a larger demographic group of similar users, not as an individual.

7. Advertisements on the Website, if any, are likely to be generated by third party advertising cookies. Some third parties generate their own cookies to count how many Members have seen a particular advert and to calculate how many people have viewed it more than once. Such cookies cannot be used to identify an individual, they can only be used for statistical purposes. For example, in providing the Member with adverts that are relevant to their interests. Some of the information taken from third party cookies will be aggregated with other anonymous information for statistical purposes. Such companies that generate these cookies have their own, very strict, privacy policies. The Operator does have access to these cookies other than allowing them on the Website. However, the Operator may use information from these third party cookies, provided to them by third parties, to improve the targeting of adverts to Members.

8. Cookies may also be used to track registered or unregistered users as they navigate the Website. Cookies may be used to count the number of unique users who are accessing the Website over a particular period of time, or to make sure that Members don't see the same advert more than once. This information is only shared with third parties in aggregate form.

9. Members can find out more about cookies, and how to disable them in their browser settings at www.allaboutcookies.org.

10. To disable third party cookies, go to the third party's website and request a no thanks to cookie. This will stop any further cookies being served to the relevant Members machine. Members can find further information on how to opt out of these cookies at www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.

These statistics will include no personally identifying information.

2. The Operator is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of websites to which the Application may link.

3. The Operator has the right to employ or engage external companies to act on its behalf as data processors for internal business purposes.
