We are committed to protecting our users' privacy. Keeping the information you share with
us on the Site secure and ensuring your understanding of how we collect, use and maintain your information is
important to us at INCREDITEK Inc. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your
information and while no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we have used and will
continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the protection of your information. We continually
assess new technology for protecting information and, when appropriate, we upgrade our information security systems.
Because of its importance and to make it easier for you to find and review it, we have made this Privacy Statement
into a separate document on the Site. However, bear in mind it is a part of our agreement with you and the terms
and conditions contained in our Terms of Use describe how and when we may make changes to these statements and
terms, and how they become binding upon you. INCREDITEK Inc reserves the right to modify this policy. Any changes
to the policy will be posted on this page. Users are encouraged to check the page regularly as they will be bound
by the changes once posted on the site.
Disclosure (General):
Although your privacy is very important to us, in this legal and technical environment, we cannot fully ensure that
your personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. Please see "Disclosure to Third Parties",
below, for more information.
Overview:
This Privacy Statement is intended to explain our privacy practices and inform you as to: The kinds of information we
collect from users of the Site and how that information is collected;
How we use the information;
The circumstances under which we disclose information to third parties;
Personally Identifiable Information:
When we use the term "personally identifiable information" we mean information such as your full name, street address,
town or city, state, zip code, telephone number, instant-messenger nickname, date of birth, e-mail address and any
other information that would allow someone to identify you or contact you. Personally identifiable information also
includes information about your transactions or relationship with us, if you have been a customer or you have provided
this type of information to any of INCREDITEK Inc family of companies.
Although we may track the numbers of visitors to inform us on how best to update the Site and enhance the experience
for all visitors, personally identifiable information is not extracted in this process. We use tracking information
on an aggregated basis to help us operate the Site, enhance and improve our service, improve the look of the Site and
display advertising and marketing information.
We collect personally identifiable information about you when you visit the Site and input information, or in the course
of any other exchanges of information, transactions and activities. We may use the information we obtain from you,
including personally identifiable information, to tailor your experience on the Site, to display content we think may
be of interest to you, or to let us customize what you see when you visit the Site according to your preferences.
Some features and functions of the Site require you to register or obtain our permission before you can use them for
security, identification and marketing reasons, among others - and as part of that process we may ask you to provide us
with certain personally identifiable information. In addition, during the registration process we will also ask you
to select (or we may provide) a user ID and password (we will allow you to change your password, as well as any personally
identifiable information you have given us in order to keep this information current). Among other things, this information
helps us securely identify you as a registered or permitted user of those features and functions.
Bear in mind that when you submit information to us, it does not guarantee that we will permit you to use any or all of
the features or functions of the Site.
The personally identifiable information you provide to us, as well as any information, personal or otherwise, that you
create and which may be saved on or in association with the Site, is used to provide you with better service. It allows
us to save you time and money and better understand your needs. It also helps us help you learn more about your preferences
and those goods and services that may be of interest to you. For example, we track your information to assist us in
producing reports, maintaining quality control, administering and managing the site and our business, and, whenever it
may become necessary or appropriate, to contact you concerning transactions or any other activities associated with the
Site. We may use your personally identifiable information to advise you of goods or services, which may be available
from INCREDITEK Inc, its suppliers and advertisers. If you are a registered user, you also acknowledge, understand and
hereby agree that you are giving us your consent to track your activities and your use of the Site and its functions
and features, in connection with your registration and use of the Site.
Third Parties on our Site:
Our 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 advertising
companies employ cookie and web bug technologies to measure advertising effectiveness. You should be aware that different
rules may 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, and even if we have a relationship with the third party, we do not
control those sites or their policies and practices regarding your information and we encourage you to investigate and
ask questions directly of them in this regard.
Disclosure to Third Parties:
Except as described in this Privacy Statement, INCREDITEK Inc uses good faith efforts not to provide third parties with
access to your personally identifiable information. We will, however, make your personally identifiable information available
to others:
When we have your consent (you "opt in") to do so, in which case their use of your information is subject to their own privacy policies;
When we have retained companies to work with or on behalf of INCREDITEK Inc to provide goods or services that you have requested;
When you use co-branded services - in which case you are giving us permission to pass any personally identifiable information you provide in the context of our co-branding and marketing relationship, back to our co-branding partner. Their use of your information is subject to their own privacy policies;
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 or any of our guidelines for promotions, Events or any other features or functions of the Site, or if you threaten the rights, property or safety of INCREDITEK Inc, its suppliers, advertisers, other customers or users, or any other party;
As and when we, in our sole discretion, 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, or a merger, acquisition, joint venture or other business combination involving us.
It is also possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We do not
sell or market your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated organizations. Some of the aggregate customer data
we collect may be shared with advertising companies in order to enhance and improve the operation and relevance of the Site,
but we do not give any personally identifiable information to them as part of this relationship. Use of their tracking
technology is subject to their own privacy policies.

All information collected from INCREDITEK Inc Web site, including the summary server log information, e-mails sent to the

The Maryland Public Information Act, with a few exceptions, gives you the right to be informed about the information that
INCREDITEK Inc collects about you. It also gives you the right to request a copy of that information, and to have
