INFORMATION COLLECTION
In order to operate the Site, we may collect
“contact information” (i.e.,
information that could be used to contact
you such as full name, postal address, phone
number and e-mail address as well as Automatic
Information and your IP address), “financial
information” (i.e., credit and debit
card numbers) and “demographic information”
(e.g., zip code, postal code, hometown,
gender, purchase history information and
age as well as IP addresses that are not
unique to your computer) from you. As used
herein, “Automatic Information”
is information collected by our computers
when you request web pages or ads from the
Site. An IP address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you access the Internet. Please
note that nowhere on the Site does AppendSolutions
knowingly collect contact information or
financial information from children under
the age of 13. If in the future, AppendSolutions
collects personally identifiable information
from children, AppendSolutions
will do so in compliance with the Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15
U.S.C. 6501 et seq.).

files that are transferred to your computer

AppendSolutions
may use service providers to help perform
some of these tasks, including, but not
limited to, processing or fulfilling your
orders, or performing customer service,

AppendSolutions
often requires these service providers to
enter into agreements with us regarding
the confidential handling of your information.

information to sell advertisements that
appear on the Site. AppendSolutions
does not share specific contact information
with advertisers.
AppendSolutions
may disclose specific contact information
for any reason if, in the sole discretion
of AppendSolutions
, AppendSolutions
determines that it is reasonable to do so,
including, but not limited to: if AppendSolutions

to comply with law, to cooperate with or
seek assistance from law enforcement or
to protect the interests or safety of AppendSolutions

services or products provided by AppendSolutions
. Also, your contact information may be
passed on to a third party in the event
of a transfer of ownership or assets, or
a bankruptcy, of AppendSolutions

to other sites beyond AppendSolutions

on an advertisement, you may be taken off
the Site onto a different website. These
other websites may send their own cookies
to you, independently collect data or solicit
personal information and may or may not
have their own published privacy policies.
If you visit a website that is linked from
our Site, you should consult that website’s
privacy policy before providing any personal
information.

to protect the security, integrity, completeness,
accuracy and privacy of the information
