e-BZZZ cares about protecting the privacy of individuals who visit the e-BZZZ Web site for information, products, and services. This policy explains how we at e-BZZZ ensure the responsible use and protection of any personally identifiable information that we receive online.

e-BZZZ understands the importance of personal privacy online.

e-BZZZ has developed its Web site with personal privacy in mind. At e-BZZZ, privacy on the Internet means that:

• you have control over any personally identifiable information you decide to submit to e-BZZZ
• e-BZZZ informs you how we use any personally identifiable information that is submitted to us online
• e-BZZZ is committed to treating your information confidentially at all times.

You can browse the e-BZZZ Web site without disclosing any information that identifies you as an individual ("personally identifiable information"). e-BZZZ provides you with the opportunity to contact e-BZZZ online--to ask a question, learn more about a product, or to ask for help with a product you already have. If you choose to contact e-BZZZ online, you will find that many of our contact forms ask for common types of personally identifiable information, such as name, street address, and e-mail address. We ask for this information to help us reply to you.

Providing personally identifiable information is voluntary. e-BZZZ always leaves it up to you whether to submit personally identifiable information online. If you would like to contact e-BZZZ, but do not wish to submit personally identifiable information online, you can reach a e-BZZZ representative by calling the e-BZZZ hotline at 1-800-ASK-e-BZZZ.

As an optional benefit when visiting the e-BZZZ Web site, you may customize your e-BZZZ online visits in the area of the site called My e-BZZZ. If you register to use My e-BZZZ, you will be required to submit your e-mail address before proceeding further. However, if you do not wish to register with My e-BZZZ, you will still be able to view all the contents of the e-BZZZ Web site.

During your visit to the e-BZZZ site, you will find that we offer online shopping and customer services on selected Web pages. To handle online orders or inquiries more efficiently, e-BZZZ has provided electronic forms that request personally identifiable information such as name, street address, and e-mail address. These forms enable visitors and customers to communicate with e-BZZZ quickly and easily. As an alternative, those who want to communicate with e-BZZZ but do not wish to give personally identifiable information online may use the phone or fax numbers that we also provide on our Web pages.

e-BZZZ asks only for the minimum amount of information needed to assist you.

e-BZZZ uses personally identifiable information submitted online to:

• respond to questions from customers or visitors to the Web site
• provide customer support
• share product news, updates, or helpful tips about e-BZZZ products
• enable online shopping
• inform users of special promotions
• create reseller partnerships.

Personally identifiable information that is submitted in a business capacity may be merged with available business data base directories.

Here are the types of information that e-BZZZ collects:

Contact and feedback forms: Anyone with questions or comments may use these electronic forms to submit inquiries to our Webmaster or to specific e-BZZZ business groups. If an individual wants to communicate with e-BZZZ through the Web site, we require a sufficient amount of information to respond to the individual's request. e-BZZZ replies to contact and feedback forms only once, unless a customer requests follow-up or additional assistance with a particular problem. If a customer contacts e-BZZZ online with a request that requires specific or regional expertise, the request will be forwarded to a local, e-BZZZ-authorized representative for handling.

Commerce forms: To process orders over the Internet in the United States, e-BZZZ asks for purchase and shipping information--name, address, phone and credit card numbers. e-BZZZ uses credit card numbers only to process specific orders for equipment and supplies.

Subscription forms: By subscribing to e-mail news and updates, customers get the benefit of the latest tips and information about specific e-BZZZ products. A subscriber can request that his or her name be removed from the mailing list by sending an e-mail to webmaster@e-BZZZ.com.

Registration forms: Using the e-BZZZ Web site, customers can register e-BZZZ products and activate warranties online. Our online registration forms ask for name, address, machine serial number and some customer satisfaction data. Registering online also entitles the customer to the option of receiving product news and featured promotions by e-mail in the future. Customers can choose not to receive these additional e-mail contacts by clicking a designated opt-out box at the time of registration. Customers who have elected to receive news and promotions may request that these contacts be discontinued at any time by sending an e-mail to webmaster@e-BZZZ.com. For those who do not wish to register online, the registration Web pages also have details on how to register by phone, fax, or mail.

Download forms: Visitors to the e-BZZZ Web site can download free evaluation copies of software by completing and submitting a download form. These forms ask for personally identifiable information.

Reseller forms: Resellers interested in becoming e-BZZZ partners can submit information through the e-BZZZ Web site.

While we at e-BZZZ are pleased to offer convenient services and shopping options online in the United States, we are also mindful of our responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of the personally identifiable information we receive.

Our agents and partners protect personally identifiable information.

When a customer purchases equipment or supplies online from e-BZZZ it may be necessary to transfer personally identifiable information to an independent e-BZZZ-authorized agent or partner, who then fills the order. e-BZZZ requires that its independent agents and partners handle personally identifiable information with the same concern for personal privacy as e-BZZZ.

Whenever e-BZZZ transfers personally identifiable information to its agents and partners, it is with the understanding that the information should be used for the sole purpose of fulfilling the customer's request and that the information should be kept confidential and secure at all times.

In some instances, when e-BZZZ transfers personally identifiable information to one of its authorized agents or partners, that agent or partner may need to share the personally identifiable information with an unaffiliated third party for the purpose of completing an order or providing a service. Information will be shared with outside parties only at your request. You can instruct a e-BZZZ agent not to share your information.

e-BZZZ gets your consent before sending you additional information.

e-BZZZ may wish to contact you with announcements about products and services that we believe will be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive these announcements, you can click an opt-out box on the appropriate e-BZZZ Web page before submitting your information. If a e-BZZZ Web page does not have an opt-out box, that means no additional announcements will be sent to you. You can unsubscribe from announcements by sending an e-mail with a description or copy of the announcement to webmaster@e-BZZZ.com.

About links to non-e-BZZZ Web sites.

While visiting the e-BZZZ Web site, you may encounter links that take you to the Web site of another organization, such as a retailer that offers related services. e-BZZZ posts these links as a way of helping you locate related information and services easily. However, when clicking to a non-e-BZZZ Web site, please know that non-e-BZZZ web sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy and these other companies may not treat personally identifiable information with the same privacy protections as e-BZZZ. To find out how another company handles the information it receives online, please check the Privacy Policy posted on that company's Web site.

Any personally identifiable information that e-BZZZ maintains is stored in password-protected, secure environments that can be accessed only by authorized personnel. e-BZZZ instructs all personnel who handle personally identifiable information to use appropriate privacy and security precautions when processing this information.

Credit card data is encrypted.

To ensure that online shoppers in the United States can purchase with confidence from the e-BZZZ Web site, e-BZZZ protects credit card and shipping information with industry-standard encryption technology. Just as e-BZZZ is careful with your personally identifiable information, we likewise observe rigorous privacy protection standards when handling credit card and financial data. When a customer submits an order to e-BZZZ online, the personal and credit card information is used only to complete the purchase and arrange for shipping. This information is not used subsequently for marketing or unsolicited contacts.

Individuals may contact e-BZZZ to check the accuracy of their own personally identifiable information or to request that the information be updated or deleted by writing to webmaster@e-BZZZ.com

e-BZZZ will verify the identity of individuals requesting access to their information.
