This Privacy Policy applies to all information we collect or receive from you. Please note that Comporium may contain links to other websites and occasionally other websites may be co-branded with the Comporium name. Websites that are linked to Comporium or carry the Comporium brand may have privacy policies which differ from that of Comporium. Further review of these individual privacy policies should be conducted for more information.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Registration Information:

You are not required to register or give us any personal information about yourself in order to visit the Comporium Website and to view certain content made generally available on our Website. However, we may offer you the opportunity to register with us or to sign up for our mailing list. If you choose to register, you are asked to give us your name and email address, and to choose a password. At that time, you may also be asked to provide us with additional information, such as your age, gender, and other personal information about yourself in order to receive additional information about our services.

Mailing Lists:

In order to keep you informed about our services, we may send e-mails and announcements that are needed for the administration of our Website and service. We also give our users the option of joining our mailing list to receive additional information about our Website, services and offers. Any marketing e-mail from Comporium will include instructions for how to unsubscribe from our mailing list.

Automatic Collection of Data:

You may be able to visit our Website and use a majority of our services while remaining anonymous. However, Comporium may still collect certain non-personally identifiable information about your use of our services. For example, Comporium might collect information concerning the type of Internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, your IP address, your connection speed, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the geographic location from which you are accessing our service and/or the Website or advertisement from which you linked to the Comporium Website. Once you have registered with us, we also track and collect information about you, including your transactions with us, or others, and your site usage patterns, such as the pages on the Website you have visited, searches you have conducted and the amount of time you have spent on our Website. If you contact us, we may keep a record of your correspondence.

Cookies:

When you visit our Website or click through hyperlinks appearing thereon, or use one or more of our services, we may use an industry-wide technology called "cookies" which stores certain information on your computer and which will allow us to customize your experience to better match your interests and preferences or simply facilitate your signing-in to use the services. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. Please note, however, that if you set your browser to block acceptance of cookies, you may not be able to use some of Comporium's web services, including Online-Advantage.

WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION

In general, Comporium may use non-personally identifiable information about you to improve and enhance the services we provide. If you provide Comporium with personally identifiable information, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect this information. Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, Comporium will not disclose, share, sell or rent personally identifiable information collected on our Website to any third party without your prior consent.

SECURITY

We use reasonable security methods to protect the data that resides on our servers. However, because no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers. It is also possible that information you supply to us will be intercepted during transmission. Whenever you give Comporium sensitive information, Comporium will take commercially reasonable steps to protect such information by establishing a secure connection with your Web browser. Comporium employs an industry standard technology known as a secure-socket-layer ("SSL") to protect the transmission of information to the Website. You can check the security of your connection by looking at the address in your browser window. After you have accessed a secure server protected by SSL, the first characters of the address will change from "http" to "https." 128-Bit SSL Encryption is the industry-standard in secure information transmission from your computer to a webserver.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Linking to other sites is an integral part of the functionality of the Internet, including our Website. Any link to a page which displays a URL other than a domain name that ends in Comporium.com in the address window of your browser is a link to a site outside of our service and thus outside the control of Comporium. This includes links to our suppliers of content on the service, affiliates, and links to any other advertisers and third parties that may be linked to Comporium. These other sites may send their own cookies to you, collect data or solicit personal information. Comporium cannot guarantee and is not responsible for the content of outside sites.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information on other sites (for example via message boards or chat), that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While Comporium strives to protect our visitors' personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security and privacy of any information you disclose at other sites, and you do so at your own risk.

Please see ' Linking Policies ' for more information.

If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use our Website or the services provided thereon. We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy. We will provide notice to you of any material changes by any reasonable means including posting such notice and the amended policy on the Comporium Website.
