you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions
when using our site and our products and services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types

site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you

Email Information.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email messages together with your
email address and our responses.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes
a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs
to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our
Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after
our Web site. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies
may also use small pieces of code called "web beacons"
or "clear gifs" to determine which advertisements
and promotions users have seen and how users responded to
them.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes
of administering and expanding our business activities, providing
customer service and making available other products and services
to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. You have the opportunity
to opt in, or opt out of specific types of communications
on our subscription management page. You have the opportunity
to opt-out any time you receive an email from us by using
the link provided at the bottom of the email communication.
You also may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive
these offers by emailing us at customerservice@Survey4Gold.com.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes
an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site,
that site's computer asks your computer for permission to
store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically
designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie
to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but
(to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web
site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not
the cookies sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you shop on our Web site, the site uses its cookies to
differentiate you from other shoppers so your shopping cart
is only available to you. In some cases, we also use cookies
to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring
you to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies,
in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to
calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web
site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps
us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web
site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow
us to gather any personal information about you and we do
not generally store any personal information that you provided
to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may enter into alliances, partnerships or other business
arrangements with third parties who may be given access to
personal information (including, but not limited to, your
email address) for the purpose of providing you information
regarding products and services that we think will be of interest
to you, unless you opt out of receiving such communications.
In connection with alliances, partnerships or arrangements,
we may also provide certain information to third parties if
we have determined that the information will be used in a
responsible manner by a responsible third party. For example,
some of our partners operate stores or provide services on
our site, while others power offerings developed by us for
your use. We also use third parties to facilitate our business,
including, but not limited to, sending email and processing
credit card payments. In connection with these offerings and
business operations, our partners and other third parties
may have access to your personal information for use in connection
with business activities. As we develop our business, we may
buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email,
and visitor information is generally one of the transferred
business assets in these types of transactions. We may also
transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures,
mergers, or any dissolution.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable.
You have the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to
receive these offers by sending us an email request at customerservice@Survey4Gold.com.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication.
For this reason, we request that you do not send private information
to us by email. Some of the information you may enter on our
Web site may be transmitted securely via Secure Sockets Layer
SSL, 128 bit encryption services, which are enabled by VeriSign,
Inc. Pages utilizing this technology will have URLs that start

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web
sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or
content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites
are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that

site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site,
is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please
