provide a safe, secure user experience. This Privacy Statement sets forth the online data
collection and usage policies and practices that apply to the OldFashionedFamily.Com Web
Site (the "Web Site") and does not apply to information we collect in any other
fashion.
Your data will be stored and processed in whole or in part in the
United States. The Web Site contains links to other web sites over which we have no control.
We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of other web sites to which you
choose to link from our Web Site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those
other web sites so you can understand how they collect, use and share your information.
Collection and Use of Information by the Company
In some
areas of the Web Site, we request or may request that you provide personal information,
including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, social
security number, contact information, billing information and any other information from
which your identity is discernible. In other areas, we collect or may collect demographic
information that is not unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender,
interests and favorites. Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types
of information.
We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of the
Web Site. Moreover, there is information about your computer hardware and software that is
or may be collected by us. This information can include without limitation your IP address,
browser type, domain names, access times and referring web site addresses, but is not linked
to your personal information.
We may sometimes afford you the opportunity to
provide descriptive, cultural, behavioral, preferential and/or life style information about
yourself, but it is solely up to you whether you furnish such information. If you do provide
such information, you are thereby consenting to the use of that information in accordance
with the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement. For example, such
information may be used for the purpose of determining your potential interest in receiving
e-mail or other communications about particular products or services.
Our Use of Your Information
We use the information we gather
on the Web Site, whether personal, demographic, collective or technical, for the purpose of
operating and improving the Web Site, fostering a positive user experience, and delivering
the products and services that we offer.
Unless you have indicated otherwise at
the time you establish a User account, we may also use the information we gather to inform
you of other products or services available from us or our partner companies. We may use
your contact information in order to send you e-mail or other communications regarding
updates to the Web Site, to contact you about your opinion of current products and services
or potential new products and services that may be offered. We may also provide additional
communications, promotions and information on new opportunities and additional job postings
which may be of interest to you. The nature and frequency of these messages will vary
depending upon the information we have about you. Choices Regarding the Disclosure of
Personal Information to Others We do not disclose your personal information to third
parties, or your combined personal and demographic information or information about your use
of the Web Site (such as the areas you visit or the services you access), except as set
forth below.
1. We disclose information to third parties if you consent to such
disclosure. For example, if you indicate that you would like to receive information about
the opportunities, products or services of third parties at the time you register for a User
account, we supply your contact information to third parties such as data aggregators,
marketers or others for the purpose of sending you e-mail or otherwise communicating with
you. We use data we have about you (such as the interests and preferences you have
expressed) to determine whether you might be interested in the opportunities, products or
services of a particular third-party.
2. We disclose information to companies and
individuals we employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include hosting our Web
servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments,
and providing customer service. These companies and individuals will have access to your
personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that
information with any other third party.
3. We disclose information if legally required
to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith that
such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process;
(b) protect our rights or property or our affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or
protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
4. We disclose and transfer information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial
portion of our business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or
purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event we become
the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, we or our trustee
in bankruptcy may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction
approved by the bankruptcy court. You will be notified of sale of all or a substantial
portion of our business to a third party via email or through a prominent notice posted on
the Web Site.

Security of the Personal Information
We have implemented
commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your

to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
When you place an order online at the Web Site, your credit card information is protected
through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") protocol.
SSL makes it difficult for your credit card information to be intercepted or stolen while
being transmitted. We use a service company to process its credit card transactions; you can
see its privacy policy here [hyperlink].

collect personal information from children under 13. Users over the age of 13 but under the
