Co-Branded Relationships
We have established relationships with other parties to
offer you the benefit of other services which we
ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to these
other parties either through the use of hyperlinks to
their sites from our Site, or through offering
"co-branded" sites in which both ourselves and these
other parties share the same uniform resource locator,
domain name or pages within a domain name on the
Internet. In some cases you may be required to submit
information for purposes of registering or applying for
products or services provided by such third parties or
co-branded partners. The privacy policy of such other
parties may differ from ours, and we may not have any
control over the information that you submit to such
third parties or co-branded sites. We therefore
encourage you to read that policy before responding to
any offers, products or services provided by such other
parties.

statistical information about usage by Users; research
visiting patters and help target advertisements based on
User interests; assist our partners to track User visits

Security Measures
We employ commercially reasonable security methods to
prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and
ensure correct use of information.
No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless
network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a
result, while we try to protect your information, no web

ensure or guarantee the security of any information you
