Privacy Policy
Our Commitment To
Privacy
This Privacy Policy is designed to
assist you in understanding how we collect and use your
personal information in connection with our advertising,
content, e-commerce, promotional and service programs and
other business activities (the “Program”) and to assist
you in making informed decisions when using our site and
our products and services and the sites of our
advertisers.
What Information We
Collect
When you visit our site we may
collect two types of information: (a) personal
information you actively choose to disclose and (b)
information about you that is collected automatically by
our servers or obtained from third parties in a way not
visible to you.
(a) Information you actively
choose to provide. By choosing to participate in our
Program, you must become a Member by disclosing the
following information, such as: your email address, name,
address, phone number and birth date. During the process
of registering on our site, participating in various
offers, completing surveys, or sending us emails or
correspondence, we collect additional information that
you may disclose, including for example mobile telephone
number, fax number, payment information (e.g., credit
card number and billing address), credit information,
social security number, health information and personal
preferences regarding lifestyle, products or
services.
(b) Passive information collected
automatically by our servers or obtained from third
parties. We collect some information about you simply by
virtue of you connecting to our web site. Our servers
automatically identify your computer by its internet
protocol (”IP”) address, a unique string of numbers that
is assigned to your computer by your internet service
provider. In addition, to participate in our program you
must allow cookies to be active on your system. Cookies
are a feature of web browser software (Internet Explorer,
Netscape Navigator, etc.) that allows web servers to
recognize which computer is used to access a web site.
Cookies simplify subsequent interactions on our site and
streamline your transactions on related web pages.
Information collected through cookies may include the
date and time of your visits, the site pages you viewed,
the time spent at each page, and the web sites you
visited just before and just after our site. You can
disable the cookie function by following the instructions
in the “help” section of your browser. However, doing so
will likely make it impossible for our system to properly
recognize you when you visit our sites, and consequently
may make your participation in our program more difficult
or impossible. In addition to the information you provide
or that is collected automatically from our system, we
may obtain information about you from our marketing
partners or other third parties, and we combine that
information with the information you actively provide or
that is automatically collected by our
servers.
The term “Information” is used in
this policy to refer to both types of information
described above, as well as any Information that you
provide to us directly by phone (including any phone
number displayed via caller ID), text or SMS message,
U.S. mail or through any other written or oral
communication with us.
How We Use And Share The
Information Collected
We use your Information to
administer our business activities, provide customer
services such as technical support, distribute
information about changes to our site, and send you, and
enable others to send you, information about products and
services that may be of interest to you and to contact
you or use your Information for any other purpose. We
send communications to you ourselves, and your
Information also is shared with other organizations that
may contact you for any purpose by email, phone, text
message, U.S. mail or any other means of
communication.
OPT-IN NOTICE: By Participating,
You Expressly “Opt In” To Receive Information And Grant
Us Permission To Share Your Information
By signing up for our Program you
expressly opt in to receive future information about
products and services from us and from a variety of
advertisers to whom we may provide your Information. We
will share your personal information with third parties,
including our advertisers, for any reason we choose,
including without limitation for the following purposes:
(1) to operate our Program (including the transfer of the
information to advertisers or to third parties who
maintain on our behalf a list of persons having
registered with our Program), (2) to permit advertisers
or other third parties to use your Information for any
purpose such as contacting you by email, phone, text
message, U.S. mail or any other means of communication
for any purpose, (3) to confirm you have completed all of
the necessary steps to receive your gift, and (4) as we
are required to do by law, including to notify the IRS
that you received your gift. As a result, we will
transfer your Information to third parties whose privacy
policies and practices are beyond our control.
In addition, in the event we
consider a transaction involving the purchase or sale of
our assets or stock, other companies may review our
records, including your Information, to make business
decisions about the transaction. Likewise, your
Information may be transferred to third parties in the
event of the sale or acquisition of our company or any of
its assets. The parties who perform services for us
(credit card processors, merchant banks, our internet
service provider, etc.) also may have access to your
information in performing their services.
Special Note About Information You
Provide Directly To Our Advertisers.
You are able to access certain
advertiser’s sites through our site. When you opt to
receive information or sign up for an offer from an
advertiser, you may be doing so through third party sites
and with other companies over which we have no control.
You should read those sites’ privacy policies to make
sure you agree to them before using such sites. If you
wish to opt out of those advertisers’ mailings, you must
do so directly with such advertisers or as otherwise
provided on or through their sites.
Security Of Your
Information.
We use reasonable technical
efforts to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, or
accidental loss or destruction of Information. However,
nearly all Internet transmissions pass through many
servers not controlled by us, and therefore we cannot
guarantee that any information you provide us or we
collect will not be intercepted or altered in that
process. Also, as noted above, your Information is shared
with third parties whose privacy policies and practices
are beyond our control.
How You Can Choose To “Opt Out” Of
Receiving Further Information About Products Or
Services
If at any time you do not wish to
receive further information about products or services
from us and wish us to cease providing your Information
to third parties, you may chose to “opt-out” through the
Unsubscribe/”Opt-Out” page of our site or by written
request sent by U.S. mail to our Customer Service Manager
at the following address: 155 Mossy Springs Dr Oakland,
TN 38060
Or by clicking the “Unsubscribe”
link in our newsletter emails.
We will promptly update our
records upon receiving your clear instructions to
opt-out, but it may take up to ten (10) business days
from our receipt of your request for the change to be
fully effective. If you later give us a clear statement
that you want to receive emails from us or our
advertisers after such date, then that opt-in statement
will supersede any earlier opt-out request. If we have
already provided your email address or other information
to an advertiser or other third party before we receive
your opt-out request, we cannot prevent them from sending
or continuing to send you information or emails and you
will need to contact such third party
directly.
How To Correct, Delete Or Access
Your Information
If you wish to access, delete or
correct the information you have provided to us through
this site, please contact us through the Contact Us
section of our site or through written request sent by
U.S. mail to the Customer Service Manager at the address
listed above.
Special Rights For Residents Of
Certain States
If you are a California resident
or another state with specific laws relating to the
collection and use of Information, you may have specific
rights not set forth in this policy. For example,
California residents have the right to receive: a)
information identifying any third party company(ies) to
whom we may have disclosed, within the past calendar
year, personal information pertaining to you and your
family for the company’s direct marketing purposes; and

information disclosed. To obtain such information you
must make a request in writing. Your request must include
your name registration (email address), the site name you

We will not honor such requests more than once per
calendar year. Requests made via email will not be
accepted. Please mail your request to Customer Service

POLICY CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH
