b.
If You Send Us an E-Mail: You may choose to provide us with
personal information, for example, in an e-mail to Abacus with a comment or
question. We use the information provided to improve our service to you or to
respond to your request.
c.
Distribution List: The Site will offer you the option of adding
your name and e-mail address to a distribution list for information on new
products and services, special offers and other marketing opportunities. We
will not add your name and e-mail address to such a list unless you
affirmatively permit us to do so, that is, you have "

distribution list at any time by using the " unsubscribe"
technique found in the e-mail message, that is, you may "opt-out" at
any time. We will act on your opt-out promptly, but it may not be effective
immediately die to normal processing delays.
5. Sharing With Third Parties
Except as outlined below in this Statement, we never provide your personal
information to third parties without your consent.
·
We may provide personal information from a customer to a third
party, including a Seller, as necessary to process that customer's request or
order or otherwise service a customer's account.
·
We reserve the right to disclose or report personal information
in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is
required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement
authorities, and to protect our rights or property. This may include the
exchange of information with other organizations for fraud protection and
credit risk reduction.
·
We reserve the right to use your e-mail or other address to send
you important information relating to your account.
The
Site may also contain optional surveys and questionnaires asking for
information, as well as several opportunities for visitors to ask questions. We
use the information you provide to help us design and build better products, to
customize your shopping experience, and to provide advice and purchase
recommendations. Taking part in any of these segments is always optional. We do
not share the names and e-mail addresses of recipients of our distribution list
or the results of our surveys and questionnaires with third parties, including
Sellers.
We do research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the
information provided to us when making a purchase, from surveys and from our
server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our Users. This research
is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis so as to prevent identification
of personal information relating to any one individual. We may share this
aggregated data with our Sellers and other business partners. In addition, we
will share aggregated data with our Sellers in order to collect funds owed to
us by the Sellers and in order to administer our relationships with those
Sellers.
In addition, we may disclose information about you if we have a good faith
belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to
claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Abacus or others.
6. Cookies
When you come into our Site, our server attaches a
small text file to your hard drive -- a cookie. A "
cookie" assigns you a unique identifier so that we can recognized
you each time you re-enter our Site, so we can recall where you've previously
been on our site, and which keeps track of the pages you view on our Site.
Cookies help us deliver a better Site experience to our users.
This information collected by using a cookie is sometimes called "clickstream." We use this information to understand
how our users navigate our Site, and to determine common traffic patterns,
including what site the user came from. We may use this information to make
site navigation and product recommendations, and to help redesign our Site in
order to make your experience on our Site more efficient and enjoyable. We may
also use this information to better personalize the content, banner ads, and promotions
that you and other users will see.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser
preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a
cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies
you will be unable to use those services or engage in activities that require

7. Security
This Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. The SSL
protocol provides server authentication, data integrity, and privacy on the
Web. SSL encrypts your personal and financial information as it is being
transmitted, including credit card information, and also verifies the identity
of the server and that the original message arrives at its destination.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As
a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from
this Site, and therefore you use this Site at your own risk. Once we receive
your transmission, we use our best effort to ensure its security on our
systems. We also cannot be responsible for criminal acts of third parties, such
as " hackers," who may seek to compromise
our security measures through unlawful means. Industry-accepted security
measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day
operation of the Site.
