of the service that we offer to our users. The following information
explains our information gathering and dissemination practices.

from the site or to participate in certain BIOHORIZON.COM
service(s), our registration form requires you to give us
your name, address, country, zip code, phone number, fax
number, email address and other personal details ("Registration

3. Registration Data. We use Registration Data to tailor
our site to your particular needs. We also use Registration
Data to send you information about our company and service
and to keep you informed of enhancements and complementary
products in which you might be interested. We use demographic
and profile information to tailor your experience at our
site, showing you the content that we think you might be
interested in as well as displaying the content according
to your preferences. You may choose to stop receiving future
communications from us. Please see the Opt-Out and Discontinue
Section below.
4. Cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that a web
site transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping
purposes. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally
identify users, although they do identify a user's computer.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If
you'd prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies.
However, you may not be able to take full advantage of a
web site if you do so. We use cookies to collect demographic
and profile data for purposes of delivering content specific
to your interests. Advertisers that display ads on our site
may also use cookies. BIOHORIZON.COM does not have access
to the information obtained from those cookies.
5. IP Addresses. IP addresses are used by your computer
every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address
is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify
your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by
our web server as part of demographic and profile data known
as "traffic data" so that data (such as the Web
pages you request) can be sent to you. BIOHORIZON.COM will
not use your IP address to attempt to identify your personal
information.
6. Referers. A Referer is the information passed along by
a web browser that references the Web URL you linked from,
and is automatically collected by our web server as "traffic
data". This information is used by BIOHORIZON.COM to
identify broad demographic trends that may be used to provide
information tailored to your interests. You will not be personally
identified from this information.
7. System Information. System information we collect as
part of "traffic data" includes time, the type
of web browser being used, the operating system/platform,
and CPU speed. This information is sent automatically by
your web browser when you are connected to a web site. This
information is used by BIOHORIZON.COM in identifying broad
demographic trends and may be used to provide information
appropriate for your computer system. You will not be personally
identified from this information.
8. Sharing of Information. BIOHORIZON.COM feels strongly
that your personal data should only be seen by you, unless
you choose to share it with others. We will never sell, rent,
license or exchange personally identifiable data with a third
party without your permission. No personally identifiable
data or information will be shared with advertisers or partners
without your permission. Some of your information may be
shared on an aggregate basis only, as a part of a larger
set of statistics (for example, statistics that indicate
the percentage of our members that are female), but that
information will not be sufficient to permit the recipient
to identify you. Notwithstanding the forgoing, BIOHORIZON.COM
will only disclose personally identifiable data without your
permission in the following limited circumstances: (i) if
BIOHORIZON.COM is required to do so by law, or (ii) if BIOHORIZON.COM
has the good faith belief that such action is necessary to
conform to applicable laws or comply with legal process served
on BIOHORIZON.COM, or to protect and defend the rights or
property of BIOHORIZON.COM or another subscriber or to enforce
the Terms of Use.
9. Other Web Sites, Links, And Advertisers. This web site
contains links to other web sites. BIOHORIZON.COM advertisers
may also have links on this web site. The privacy practices
of those advertisers or web sites linked to BIOHORIZON.COM
are not covered by this privacy statement and BIOHORIZON.COM
is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content
of such web sites. Additionally, if you make a purchase from
a store or merchant listed on or linked to the BIOHORIZON.COM
web site, any information that you give, such as your credit
card number and contact information, is provided to those
merchants. These merchants have separate privacy and data
collection practices and BIOHORIZON.COM has no responsibility
or liability for these independent policies. You should be
careful to review any privacy policies posted on any linked
sites before signing up with and using them.
10. Children Under Age of Eighteen. We do not collect any
registration information from users who indicate they are
under the age of eighteen (18). If a user under the age of
eighteen (18) attempts to register with BIOHORIZON.COM, BIOHORIZON.COM
notifies the user that he or she is not eligible to become
a member of BIOHORIZON.COM's service and we do not collect
or use any personal information from that child. Except in
those limited instances described above, BIOHORIZON.COM will
not share personally identifiable information about our users
with third parties without your permission, and we do not
sell, license or rent personal information about any of our
members, regardless of age.

stored in secure operating environments that are not available
to the public. All of our employees are dedicated to maintaining

As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information,
BIOHORIZON.COM cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
