Your continued participation on this Site indicates your acceptance
of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use, disclosure, management
and storage of your Personal Information as described below. We
may from time to time, transfer or merge any Personal Information
collected off-line to our online databases or store off-line information
in an electronic format. We may also combine Personal Information
we collect online with information available from other sources,
including information received from our corporate affiliates, marketing
companies, or advertisers, promotional partners, and sponsors (collectively,
"Advertisers"). This Privacy Policy covers all such Personal
Information and will remain in full force and effect as long as
you are a user of the Site or a participant in our features and

zip code, telephone number, instant-messenger nickname, blog or
other personal website URL, date of birth, e-mail address and any
other information that would allow someone to identify you or contact
you. Personal Information also includes information about your personal
preferences, survey responses and your transactions or relationship
with us, if you have been a customer or you have provided this type
of information. For example, if you order any of our various merchandise
or goods ("Products"), in addition to your name and contact
information, we will also collect and maintain your billing address,
shipping address, Product selections, your credit card or other
payment instrument information, your order number, and information
about your computer's internet address and web site which may have
referred or directed you to the Site (e.g., the referring URL).
Your credit card or debit card number is classified as Sensitive
Personal Information and is collected via a secure transmission.
We collect Personal Information about you when you visit the Site

We may use the information we obtain from you, including Personal
Information, to tailor your experience on the Site, to display content

the information you give us.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality
of your user name and password and for any changes, costs, expenses,

at $600.00 or more (U.S. dollars). We may disclose your Personal
Information (except for SSN) collected from contests and sweepstakes
entrants with Advertisers in connection with certain online contests
and sweepstakes. In each such case, we will notify potential entrants

to contact you via email for administrative or informational purposes,
including follow-up messages regarding the administration of your
account, contests you have entered or other transactions you have

always have the right to unsubscribe from receiving future emails
or text messages via the unsubscribe (opt-out) mechanism contained

Cookies and Similar Technology: We use 'cookie' technology to collect

or partners' sites;
• Accumulating and reporting aggregate, statistical information
in connection with the Site;
• Determining which features users like best; and
• Saving your user name, your password or other information

enjoyable - like the features mentioned above - and some of our
other services will not function properly.
This Site may contain advertisements, references and links to other
web sites and organizations. We may also use third parties to display
or serve advertising on the Site and our web-based newsletters.
Often these third party Advertisers employ cookie and web bug technologies
to measure advertising effectiveness. You should be aware that different
rules might apply to the collection, use or disclosure of your information
by third parties in connection with their advertisements, promotions
and other web sites you encounter on the Internet. The use of such
technology by these third parties is within their control and not
ours. Even if we have a relationship with the third party, we do
not control those sites or their policies and practices regarding
your information. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of
Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information that a third
party Advertiser or ad server may collect from you. We encourage
you to investigate and ask questions directly of them in this regard.

and other correspondence (collectively, "Postings"). However,
we reserve the right to monitor, edit, and disclose your use of
the Site, information pertaining to any Posting or its contents
to a third party, if we believe such action is required by law or
is necessary to protect and defend our rights, to enforce this Privacy
Policy or our Terms of Use Agreement, or to protect the interests
of our users, Advertisers, suppliers, operational service providers,
and others.
Disclosure to Third Parties: We do not sell, rent, lease or disclose
your Personal Information to unaffiliated entities or entities that
are not our Advertisers, except in the limited circumstances listed
below. When we plan to disclose your Personal Information to Advertisers,
we ask for your consent ("Opt in") to do so, in which
case their use of your information is subject to the Advertisers'
own privacy policies.
We will make
your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information available
to non-affiliated third parties only in the following limited circumstances:
• When we are compelled to do so by a governmental agency,
court or other entity (e.g., to respond to subpoenas, court orders
or legal process);
• If we believe your actions violate any law, regulation,
our Terms of Use Agreement, Additional Terms, Rules, this Privacy
Policy, or any of our guidelines for promotions, Product offerings
or any other features or functions of the POSTAL - THE MOVIE Site,
or if you threaten the rights, property or safety of the Site, our
Parent Companies, operational service providers, suppliers, Advertisers,
other customers or users, or any other party;
• If, in our sole discretion, we believe such disclosure to
be necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems
or inquiries, to protect our business and assets, to defend our
interests and/or to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
or
• In the event of a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, transfer
of control, joint venture or other business combination involving
us, or our Parent Companies.
