Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and to provide you with information about products or services that may be of interest to you, we may collect "Personal Information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly without using the Site, such as full name, postal address, phone number or email address), "Demographic Information" (i.e. information that you submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code, postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, purchase history information, browsing history information, searching history information, registration history information, and the content of communications between you and other members over the Site), subject to the rest of this paragraph. We ask that you do not enter personal information into your "Public Profile" (for example, don't use your address or password as your username, or include your name or address in your written responses), because doing so may cause that information to post publicly on the Site, and the information will then be treated as "demographic information" that is "public information." Please note that we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18, as we require that all users represent to us that they are at least 18 years old.

Information Other Websites Collect From You
On the Site, we may place links to other Websites operated by other parties. Some of these other Websites may display and/or contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual property that we own.

When you click on these links and visit these other Websites be aware that this privacy policy does not apply to these other Websites. The operators of these other Websites may collect different kinds of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways than we do. Please review the privacy policies of each web site you visit.
