Information Sharing

CIS shares aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users and is used primarily to monitor the performance of campaigns contracted by our partners and advertisers. We do not link aggregate user data with personally identifiable information. Notwithstanding the preceding, CIS may sell or rent to a third party a listing of our users who have subscribed, purchased, or registered for one or more of our products. This listing may include, without limitation, names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. If, at any time, you wish to be excluded from this list, you may notify us vie email or in writing and we will remove your information from all such lists and practices.

Credit Card Transactions

For on-line purchases and transactions, credit card information provided to us is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. Absolutely no use whatsoever is made of credit card information aside from purchases on this site and there is no disclosure to third parties except as required for the on-line credit card processing or as otherwise required under law. We also protect information by placing it on a secure portion of our web sites that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of CIS. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information. The personally identifiable information we collect about you is stored in limited access servers. We will maintain safeguards to protect the security of these servers and your personally identifiable information.

Agents

We may use an outside shipping company to fulfill orders, a credit card processing company to bill you for products and services and other third parties that render services on behalf of CIS that require access to your personally identifiable information. These companies do not retain, share store or use personally identifiable information for any purposes other than to fulfill orders and provide services as directed by CIS.
