B. . “Site(s)” means the 321BuyBiz.com website for which the 321BuyBiz.com Company is endorsing the privacy policy. C. Web Host - A Web host is a, third party company in the business of providing the large amount of computer memory (server) space required by complex websites, thereby managing maintaining all content and data that moves to and from our website. Typically, in the case of 321BuyBiz.com, we are served by a Web-Host off-site. 1. The 321BuyBiz.com website provides this Internet website as a for-profit classified advertisement business directory service. We are not brokers or agents of any buying or selling party but merely advertise business opportunities, products and services on behalf of third parties much like the classified section of your local newspaper. 2. For site management, we and/or the Internet Web Host of our website, use software programs to collect and create summary statistics on the following information for statistical purposes. • the date and time • the originating Internet Protocol (IP) address • the object requested • the address of the web site from which you linked to our site • the type of browser you use to access our web site, and • the completion status of the request. While we make every reasonable effort to enforce the agreement between our Web host and 321BuyBiz.com for the protection of user privacy and collection of Personally Identifiable Information, we do not have control over the activities of our Web Host and therefore cannot guarantee the Web Host’s adherence to the 321BuyBiz.com standard of privacy protection. 3. This 321BuyBiz.com computer system uses these gathered statistics for such purposes as: • assessing what information is of most and least interest, • determining technical design specifications, and • identifying system performance or problem areas. 4. For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this 321BuyBiz.com computer system hosts employ software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. 5.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service without express written agreement are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act. 7. Our website is hosted, or electronically transmitted on the World Wide Web Internet, through a third-party that specialized in broadcasting websites over the Internet. The information we receive may derive from our website hosts or directly from our website, and depends upon what you do when visiting our site - a. If you visit our site to read or download information, request more information from classified advertisers or other marketing partners and affiliates: • We collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account, or psu.edu if you are connecting from Pennsylvania State University's domain); the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site. • We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. b. If you identify yourself by sending an E-mail: • You also may decide to send us personally identifying information, for example, in an electronic mail message containing a complaint or compliment. • We use personally identifying information from viewers in various ways to further the usefulness and accuracy of the information contained on our Web site or to add new sections and services. If you include personally-identifying information in a “Request for More Information” form or from your e-mail because you want us to address issues specific to your situation, we may use that information in responding to your request. In other limited circumstances, including requests from legal authorities or limited other parties, we may be required by law to disclose information that you submit. • Be aware that despite anything we do to protect electronic information, neither submitted electronic response forms or e-mail is necessarily secure against interception. If your communication is very sensitive, or includes personal information, you might prefer to send it by regular mail instead to our business address: 58 West Loop Drive, Bldg. 321, Camarillo, CA 93010 USA. • While our company makes it a priority to work only with other sites that provide similar privacy policies, we cannot be responsible for the practices of our website host or other third party sites that are found through live (active) or non-live (inactive) links on 321BuyBiz.com. 8. Information Collected from Interactive Forms • On some of our Web pages we may offer interactive forms that let you voluntarily submit personal information (such as your e-mail address, name, or organization). This occurs when you are registering for more information with regard to advertisements or subscribing to our e- newsletter, ordering publications, or submitting comments to various web discussion forums. In those cases, all submitted information is used only for the express purposes for which it is intended and is not made available to any third party. However, when you submit a comment to a 321BuyBiz.com web discussion forum, if you supply your name, e-mail address, or other personal information, that information is posted along with your comment. 9. Cookies: • Cookies are small files that web servers place on a user's hard drive. They can serve several functions: • they allow the web site to identify you as a previous visitor each time you access a site; • they track what information you view at a site (important to commercial sites trying to determine your buying preferences); • in the more advanced cases they track your movements through many Web sites but not the whole Web; • businesses use them for customer convenience to allow them to produce a list of items to buy and pay for them all at one time and to garner information about what individuals are buying at their sites; • advertisers use them to determine the effectiveness of their marketing and offer insights into consumer preferences and tastes by collecting data from many Web sites; and • they can be used to help a web site tailor screens for each customer's preference. • To protect your privacy, be sure to close your browser completely after you have finished conducting business with a web site that does use cookies. If you are concerned about the potential use of the information gathered from your computer by cookies, you can set your browser to prompt you before it accepts a cookie. Most Internet browsers have settings that let you identify and/or reject cookies. • While 321BuyBiz.com does not use cookies, the website hosts may do so, and this use is beyond the control of 321BuyBiz.com 10. Session Variables: Session variables are small files that a Web site transfers temporarily to your computer's memory, not to your computer's hard drive. On some 321BuyBiz.com web pages, we may choose to use "session variables" to help you use our web sites interactively. Netscape's browser labels our session variables as cookies -- these are not cookies. The session variables on 321BuyBiz.com’s Web pages do not collect information about you, but only about your browser "session." The session variable makes it easier for you to use the dynamic features of these Web services, without having to provide the same information again as you move from one page to another. Session variables on 321BuyBiz.com's Web pages expire as you exit the service delivering the session variable. That is, they are automatically removed from your computer's memory when you close your browser, reboot, or flush your cache. 11. Links to Other Sites 321BuyBiz.com provides many links to other web sites. When you leave any www.321BuyBiz. com/xxxxx web page, you will be going to sites that are beyond our control. We try to ensure that links that leave our site are clearly labeled, usually with a disclaimer and a "Goodbye Message". These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. The privacy policies and procedures described here for 321BuyBiz.com do not apply to any external links. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you link to from ours, especially if you share any personal information. Be informed.
