This policy covers only the information collected on our site. Sites that link to or from our site, and sites hosted by our various partners, are not covered by this policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of every site that you visit. To insure your comfort with us, this policy is linked to locations where we ask for information on our site.

We are continuously improving our site and our services. Whenever a new feature to our service requires a change to this policy we will post a clear notice on all the pages of our site where the privacy policy appears. Our fundamental commitment to your privacy and the principles of this document are at the heart of our business, and will not be changed. The principle behind this policy, and our business, is to only collect information with your knowledge and consent.

How We Use This Information to Serve You

When you first register with us, we may ask for your e-mail address/ID and a password. Once you supply this information, you may be able to receive our newsletters, important information about our site, about your subscription, or other offers or promotions that are personalized to you and your interests. All information sent via e-mail will come directly from us, and you may contact us to remove your name from our mailing list at any time. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone else. All information on current or former members is retained in our database for customer service and accounting purposes only.

Of course, to send the free book or other free promotional materials that we offer, we may request your postal address. Unless you choose to opt-out of our list, you may also receive other pertinent and personalized promotional materials and information by postal mail. Postal mail will come only from us and from carefully selected partners and providers. We will not sell, rent or share this information without your permission. If you choose to opt-out, the only postal mail you will receive will be the free books or other products that you order from us.

Also, we may occasionally offer contests or surveys to help us better serve you. Any information you give us by taking part in a contest or survey will be treated with exactly the same strict concerns for privacy as subscriber information is treated. To enhance your comfort level, there will may be a link to this privacy policy and the user agreement on every contest and survey page. If you choose to participate, you will be notified of the outcome of the contest or survey. You may also receive special promotional offers via e-mail, always with an opportunity to opt-out prominently displayed. You may, of course, choose to opt-out of receiving postal mail offers every time you take part in a contest or survey.

Personally Identifiable Information

W do not share your personally identifiable information with third parties without your permission. We may partner with companies that offer specific products/services to our customers, prospective customers, Independent Sales Representatives, and site visitors. These partner/provider companies offer their products/services under their brand name, and if you choose to sign up for our services under the brand name of our partner company, we may share personally identifiable information with that company. For example, The XYZ Company and ourselves have created a partnership. If you use the benefit provided by The XYZ Company, or a visitor to their website, and you have purchased our services, we may share personal information with The XYZ Company in obtaining their product. Here is a specific example. If you order a magazine, your information may be shared with the company that provides fulfillment services for that magazine, and with the publisher of the magazine that you ordered. This kind of shared personal information is simply to process your order and to provide you with better customer service.

Also, we will never sell, share or rent information we receive from other companies about you to outside parties. We may use this information ourselves, only to personalize and enhance the content of our service and to specialize any promotional offers from us.

Credit/debit card information

Credit/debit card information is never shared with outside parties for promotional or other purposes unrelated to products you order from us. As explained above, when you order a magazine, the product provider may ask for your billing address, your phone number and credit/debit card information. This information will be used only to process your order and send you the product you requested. We, or the product provider will normally only use your phone number in the event of a problem with your order. That information will not be shared with anyone else (unless an outside company is part of the process of fulfilling your order).

Friend/family members' information

If any of our products you use are intended for a family member or friend, their information will never be sold, shared or rented, and we will not use their information for promotional or other purposes unrelated to the product you ordered or had sent to someone else. We will use the information gathered only to process the order or to e-mail acknowledgment of fulfillment. Recipients may receive notification of the product gift and an e-mail introduction describing ourselves and our services. Unless the recipient visits our site and personally registers to become an Associate or Independent Sales Representative, his or her information will not be added to our active mailing list, but will only be retained in our database for accounting and current or future customer service purposes.

General demographic information

We may share general demographic information with our marketing partners so that they may better serve you. For example, we may tell one of our partners that a certain number of members have expressed interest in a certain product/service, or that a certain number of members are reading our Newsletter.
