The purpose of this document is to inform sponsors exactly:

• What personally identifiable information of theirs is collected by us.
• How the information is used.
• With whom the information may be shared.
• What choices are available to them regarding collection, use and distribution of the information.
• What kind of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control.
• How they can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Sponsor privacy is very important to us and is the reason for this document. As part of the normal operation of our sponsorship program we collect information about you. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect and what may happen to that information. We believe you should know as much as possible about our practices so that you can make an informed decision. The privacy practices of this notice apply to the GuideToBeadwork.com website and, subject to the requirements of applicable law, we strive to provide a consistent set of privacy practices throughout our sponsor community.

• Our primary goal in collecting personal information from sponsors is to allow us to communicate with them and to verify their eligibility for sponsor membership.

• To become a sponsor, you will need to register using our online registration form, where you will be required to provide us with your contact information and other business information as described there.

• We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on our site. We use this information to do internal research on our sponsors' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our sponsors. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. It includes the number of bids you have submitted and the date, time and amount of each bid.

• If you become a page sponsor, we also collect users' comments about you which we receive via e-mail from users who have clicked on your banner display.

• If you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, or if our users or third parties send us correspondence about you, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.

• We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our site's content, layout, and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our users' and sponsors' needs.

• We may also use your information to deliver information to you regarding administrative notices, communications relevant to sponsors and special GuideToBeadwork.com promotions we undertake. By accepting our Terms and Conditions, you expressly agree to receive this information. You can remove yourself from receiving some of this information by sending an e-mail to greg@vinson.com with your request once you have registered.

• We use your address to bill you and provide associated support.

• We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities related to our site, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms and Conditions.

• We use the information about you that you and others provide us to determine your eligibility for sponsor membership under our Terms and Conditions.

• We do not display any of the personally identifiable information you provide to us anywhere on our site at any time, except as feedback to you, during registration to confirm your information.

• We do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.

• We do aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in aggregate to other potential sponsors for marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to personally identify you. For example, we might post that a certain percentage of our sponsors are online retail bead supply stores.

• GuideToBeadwork.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws and other rights. Therefore, local, state, federal and international law enforcement can request and may receive your personally identifiable information if required by law.

• You may not disclose your membership password to any third parties nor share it with any third parties. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately send e-mail to greg@vinson.com requesting to change your password.

• Following registration, you can change the information you submitted during registration by sending e-mail to greg@vinson.com with the new information. Be sure to include your current password for verification. Please use "Update Sponsor" as the subject.

• We will retain information you have requested to remove or change in our files in some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms and Conditions. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.

• Because your personally identifiable information is not stored on our public server nor displayed anywhere on our site, we do not utilize any added security measures such as SSL. Because of the small number of sponsors anticipated, the low prices expected, and the fact that no credit card information is required, we feel that such measures do not warrant the cost.

• You may register via e-mail rather than using our online form if security is an issue for you. We recommend that you use the online registration form as a template so that you will know what information is required thereby minimizing possible registration delays.

• If a significant percentage of our sponsors express concern with our current level of security and our revenue stream allows for it or significant unforeseen security problems arise, we will consider adding more stringent security measures in the future. We do not anticipate any problems in this regard.

• This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our General Terms and Conditions which are available at http://www.GuideToBaedwork.com/sponsors/sponsorterms.html.
