INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
As part of our on-going efforts to ensure the best possible experience for all
recipients of Wymuze,LLC advertising, we may use log files, web beacons and
cookies (defined below) to collect and store data from browsers, advertiser and
third party sites ("Sites") to aggregate Information. The Information
collected is used for marketing purposes, enables us to determine which
advertisements perform well, allows us to more effectively match advertisements
and website content to your interests, if necessary, assists us in improving
the operation of our services, helps us to maintain the quality of our
services, enhances our services to our business partners and clients and
enables us to provide general statistics to our business partners and clients
regarding use of Wymuze,LLC's services.
"Log files" store tracked actions occurring on Sites and collect data
including your IP address, browser type, referring url, request url, user
agent, browser accept language, platform type, and date/time stamp (for clicks
and sales/leads only), which make up click, impression, and sales/lead data,
advertisements viewed, and any other data that comes from interaction with Wymuze,LLC's
network.
"Web beacons" are pixels used to track your navigation of a website
or collection of sites, the completion of transactions, submittal of
applications and browsing behavior.
"Cookies" are files (e.g. flash browser objects or http header) that
are stored on your web-enabled client (such as your web browser). There are
many misconceptions about Cookies, some of which we will try to address in this
policy. Cookies cannot erase your hard drive or otherwise damage your computer
and do not tell us an e-mail address or any other PII. Wymuze,LLC does not and
cannot use Cookies or web beacons to retrieve PII from your computer. Cookies
are used to improve the experience web users have when they see web advertisements.
When a consumer responds to or views an Internet advertisement served by Wymuze,LLC
(such as through third-party Web sites or email solicitation) or visits a Wymuze,LLC
Network site, we send a Cookie and/or gif file to assign an anonymous, unique
identifier to the end user's Internet browser. One function of these Cookies is
to provide Wymuze,LLC with information for the purpose of paying third-parties
commissions when an Internet user clicks on a link, creates a lead, or makes a
purchase on an advertiser's Web site. If the Internet user re-visits the
advertiser's site directly, Wymuze,LLC is able to continue to track the user's
activities (excluding PII) on the advertiser's site and reward the third-party
Web site that referred the user. We may use Cookies to estimate the total reach
of an advertising campaign, as well as frequency of display. This allows
advertisers to determine with greater accuracy the composition of the audience
they reach. Cookies may also be used to control the delivery of a series of
advertisements to a web browser, and to limit the number of times a web browser
receives any one advertisement. We also may use Internet browsing and online
purchase data associated with an anonymous identifier to develop a predictive
statistical user profile of the end user's needs and interests. We reserve the
right to retain all ad delivery and reporting data as long as may be reasonably
necessary for accounting and audit purposes.
There are two classes of Cookies based on how long they remain on your system:
(i) "Session Cookies," which are used only during your visit to the
Sites and/or our domains and are erased once you close your browser, and (ii)
"Persistent Cookies," which remain on your browser for 5 years from
your last visit to the Sites and/or domains and enable us to remember you on
subsequent visits to the Sites and/or domains and provide more relevant content
to you on such Sites.
A useful resource on understanding Cookies may be found at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles
affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your

Information Collected by Third Party Sites
Please be aware that the websites of our advertiser and publisher clients as
well as the websites on which we place advertisements or any third party websites

PROCESSING AND STORING YOUR DATA
Data Processing
The European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These rules
differ significantly from the laws of the United States of America
("US"). To reconcile these differences, the US and the EU have
created a safe harbor ("Safe Harbor") that defines mutually
acceptable privacy operations. For more information see www.export.gov/safeharbor/.
By providing information to us, you acknowledge that we operate in the US and
you agree to (i) permit us to transmit and use your user Information anywhere
necessary, including across international boundaries, to better improve the

shall be subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Privacy Policy and
the Terms of Use.
Security
Wymuze,LLC employs appropriate measures to ensure the security of all
Information, and we routinely evaluate our practices to identify security
threats or opportunities for the improvement of our services. No transmission
of information is guaranteed to be completely secure. Unauthorized entry or
use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise data
security. You acknowledge and agree to assume this risk when communicating with
us.
CHANGES
As the standards governing Internet privacy continue to evolve, Wymuze,LLC may
find it appropriate or necessary to update this Privacy Policy from time to
time. As a result, we reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any
time and shall post such changes on the Website. Our Website will state the
date the Privacy Policy was last updated. We encourage you to review the
Privacy Policy whenever you use this Website to make sure you understand how
your information will be used.
