which some of your information could be shared with third parties,
under strict restrictions (e.g. law-enforcement investigations),
so it is important for you to review this Privacy Policy.
By accepting our Privacy Policy and our User Agreement in registration,
you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal
information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is effective on July 28, 2006 for all users,
and may be amended at any time, without any notice to you. All
amended terms shall be effective 30 days after they are initially
posted on the Site.
Your personal information will be stored on our computers located
in the United States, secured with both physical and technological
devices. If you object to your personal information being transferred
or used in this way, please do not use our Web site.

verify with third parties the information you provide. If you
register a credit card with Easy Peddler, we will use card authorization

COOKIES
"Cookies" are small files of data that reside on your
computer and allow us to recognize you as an Easy Peddler user
if you return to the Site using the same computer and browser.
These cookies or sessions allow us to recognize you if you visit
multiple pages in our Site during the same session, so that you
don't need to re-enter your password multiple times. Once you
log out or close your browser, these session cookies expire and
no longer have any effect.
CUSTOMER SERVICE RECORDS
If you send us information, including emails and faxes, we retain
such information in your account record. We will also retain customer
service correspondence and other correspondence from Easy Peddler
to you. We retain these records in order to improve our customer
service, and to investigate potential fraud and violations of
our User Agreement.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA
Your personal information is stored and processed on
computers located in the United States. If you are a registered
Easy Peddler user, your name, email address, phone number, and
physical address, if applicable, may appear to other users. We
may also display to other Easy Peddler customers the Web site
address (URL) and customer service contact information that you
provide us. However, your credit card information will never be
revealed to anyone with whom you complete a transaction with.
Your credit card information is provided for billing purposes
with Easy Peddler only. Your personal information will be revealed
to a third party only if we are required to do so pursuant to
a subpoena or other legal process.
We disclose information that we--in good faith--believe is appropriate
to cooperate in an investigation of fraud or other illegal activity.
For example, this means that if a law-enforcement agency is conducting
a fraud investigation and that agency concludes that one side
has engaged in deceptive practices, we can give that person or
entity's contact information (but not credit card information)
to victims who request it. We disclose information in response
to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of
a court-appointed receiver, or other comparable legal process,
including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action.
INTERNET STATISTICAL DATA

trends, improve our Site performance, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use.

and other contact information of the seller.
Easy Peddler does not tolerate spam. Therefore, without limiting
the foregoing, you may not add an Easy Peddler member or unregistered
user to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without their
express consent after adequate disclosure, even if said user has
previously made a purchase from you.
