What information does FIGUREFACTS
collect? How do we use it?
- ORDERING
ONLINE
When you register with our site or place an order for one of our products,
we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card
number and expiration date, and other personal information. This allows
us to process your registration and maximize the benefit you obtain
from our Web site.
- PROMOTIONS, ONLINE SURVEYS
& ANNOUNCEMENTS
If you decide to participate in an online survey, subscribe to an e-mail
list, enter a contest, or use one of our other promotional features,
we may ask for your name, address, e-mail address, and other pertinent
information to administer the contest, tabulate survey results, and
subscribe you to lists. When we intend to use your personal information,
we tell you in advance.
- BROWSING
A visitor to our Web site is not required to reveal any individually

only in the aggregate, so that we can better serve you.
- COOKIES
Figure Facts may also use "cookies" for navigation of our Web site and
for customization of information that we may present to you. A "cookie"
is a small text file that does not personally identify users, although
it does identify a user's computer. "Cookies" do not pose a threat to
your computer, and they do not contain viruses. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can change this feature in your browser.
How does FIGUREFACTS protect
customer information?
- When you register with
our site or place an order for one of our products, we use a secure
server to protect your sensitive information. The secure server software
(SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Customer
information is used to process and send order(s), bill credit cards,
and to contact the customer when necessary. Unique identifiers are collected
for use as account numbers in our record system.
- Information supplied via
online order forms and registration forms is used only by FIGUREFACTS.

or rent customer lists. However, FIGUREFACTS or its corporate partners
and affiliates may contact you to tell you about special services or
offers that we feel might be of value to you.
- FIGUREFACTS reserves the
right to transfer information as part of a corporate reorganization,
consolidation, merger, or the sale or transfer of substantially all
of its assets.

personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to:
- Comply with a court order
or legal process served on FIGUREFACTS;
- Protect and defend the
rights or property of FIGUREFACTS or visitors to FIGUREFACTS;
- Identify persons who may
be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties;
