for system administration and for reporting aggregate information

automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the

- With Whom The Information May
Be Shared.
At times, we may share your personally identifiable information
with others for various purposes. The following outlines the ways
in which your information may be shared with others:
- Agents:We employ
other businesses, certain services and individuals to perform
functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders,
sending e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer
lists, Service analysis, analyzing data, providing marketing
assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer
service. They may have access to personally identifiable
information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it
for other purposes.
- Promotional Offers:We
may send offers to you on behalf of other partners. When we do
this, we do not give that partner your name and address. If you do
not want to receive such offers, you may opt out in the email or
change your preferences.
- Aggregate
Information:We may share aggregate information such as
demographics and Service usage statistics to advertisers, sponsors
or other organizations. When this type of information is shared,
the other parties do not have access to your personally
identifiable information.
- Opt-in and Opt-out
Programs:Throughout the Service, you may be presented with
opportunities to receive special offers from third parties. An
opt-in/opt-out message will ask you if you would like your
information to be shared. If you do choose to have your information
shared, in an effort to protect you, third parties who have access
to personally identifiable information must abide by the current
Service privacy policy. However, we are not responsible for the
privacy practices of these other companies, and you should review
the privacy practices of such Web Services prior to providing your
personally identifiable information.
- Third-Party Ad Serving &
Audience and Traffic Measurement Services:The Service may
use a third party network advertiser to serve the advertisements on
the Service or may use a traffic measurement service to analyze the
traffic on the Service. Network advertisers are third parties that
display advertisements based on your visits to this Service and
other Web Services you have visited. Third-party ad serving enables
us to target advertisements to you for products or Web Services you
might be interested in. Audience and Traffic Measurement Services
allow us to collect anonymous traffic and behavior information from
our Service by monitoring anonymous visitor activity. Although
advertisers or other companies do not have access to the Service
cookies, the Service's advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic
measurement services may themselves set and access their own
cookies on your computer if you choose to have your cookies enabled
in your browser. Cookies allow third party advertisers to show you
advertisements or content you might be interested in. Other
companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy
policies, not this one.
- PBR Subsidiaries and
Affiliates:We may share your information (including,
without limitation, personally identifiable information) with
subsidiaries and affiliates of PBR.
- Business
Transfers:The Service or PBR may be sold along with its
assets, or other transactions may occur in which your personally
identifiable information is one of the business assets transferred.
In such a case, your personally identifiable information, which we
have gathered, may be one of the business assets we transfer.
- Legal Process:In the
event we are required to respond to subpoenas, court orders or
other legal process or law enforcement agency request, your
personally identifiable information may be disclosed pursuant to
such subpoena, court order or legal process or request, which may
be without notice to you.
We may also disclose personally identifiable information to
persons, companies and entities whose practices are not covered by
this Privacy Policy (e.g. other marketers, magazine publishers,
retailers, participatory databases, and non-profit organizations)
that want to market products and services to you. You may opt out
of sharing this information with third parties by sending an e-mail
to: privacypolicy@pbr.com.
- Chat Rooms, Forums and Message
Boards.
The Service may make chat rooms, forums and message boards
available to its users. You are not required to provide any
personal information when using these areas but you may choose to
do so. If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g.
questions for an online chat guest), we may publish your screen
name and other information you have provided to us (e.g. transcript
of the chat, including your question). If you post personal
information online, it will be publicly available and you may
receive unsolicited messages from other parties. PBR cannot ensure
the security of any information you choose to make public in a chat
room, forum, or message board. In addition, we cannot ensure that
parties who have access to such publicly available information will
respect your privacy. Please exercise caution when deciding to
disclose personal information in these areas.
- Links to Other Web
Services.
You should be aware that when you are on the Service you could be
directed to other Services beyond our control. For example, if you
"click" on a banner advertisement, the "click" may take you off the
Service onto a different Website. This includes links from
advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use the Service's logo
as part of a co-branding agreement. These other Websites may send
their own cookies to you, independently collect data or solicit
personal information and may or may not have their own published
privacy policies. If you visit a Website that is linked to our
Service, you should consult that Service's privacy policy before
providing any personal information.
We sometimes may offer content (e.g. contests, sweepstakes,
auctions, or promotions) that is sponsored by or co-branded with
identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the
third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that
visitors or users voluntarily submit to participate in the site
activity. PBR does not have ultimate control over these third
parties' use of such information and our Privacy Policy does not
cover any use of information that third-party ad server may have
collected from you.
- Security.
This Service incorporates reasonable safeguards to protect the
security, integrity, completeness, accuracy and privacy of the
personal information that we may collect and we have put into place
reasonable precautions to protect such information from loss,
misuse and alteration. Your personally identifiable information is
transferred to our computers utilizing encryption software. Only
those employees who need access to your information in order to do
their jobs are allowed access. Our security policies are reviewed
periodically and revised as required.
- A Special Note for Parents
Concerning Privacy.
The Service is a general audience Service. When PBR collects
personally identifiable information from children, it does so in
compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) including, without limitation,
obtaining necessary parental consent. PBR maintains reasonable
procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity
of personal information collected from children. PBR shares
information with third parties that agree to maintain the
confidentiality, security, and integrity of children's personal
information collected. Parents may consent to PBR's collection and
use of children's personal information without consenting to PBR's
disclosure of such information to third parties. In addition,
parents may review, modify, or delete their children's personal
information, as well as direct PBR to cease all further use and/or
collection of their children's information. To do so, parents are
directed to contact PBR at: 1-800-732-1727
begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-732-1727 or

educational and entertainment resources. Your guidance and
involvement are essential to help ensure that children have a safe
and rewarding online experience. We encourage you to visit the
Direct Marketing Association's Web Service (www.the-dma.org) and
explore the Get CyberSavvy! Program as well as the GetNetWise Web
Service (www.getnetwise.org) to learn more about parental control
tools.

our privacy policy. If we decide to change or update this privacy
policy, we will give you notice of the changes made so you can be

that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you by way
of an email or some other means. Your continued use of the Service
shall constitute your acceptance of such revised privacy
policy.
