WALLOP PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date -- October 31, 2006

• Wallop Privacy Policy
  This privacy statement ("Privacy Policy") covers the website www.wallop.com, owned and operated by Wallop Technologies, Inc. ("Wallop", "we", "us", "our"). Wallop knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the Wallop website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
• What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
  This Privacy Policy covers Wallop's treatment of personal information that Wallop gathers when you are on the Wallop website and when you use Wallop services.

  This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Wallop does not own or control, or to individuals that Wallop does not employ or manage.

• What Personal Information About Users Does Wallop Collect?
  Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a friendly, customized, and efficient experience. We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by you. We collect the following types of information from our users:
  1. Information You Provide to Us:

     We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. We collect the following personal information:

     Registration: In order for you to use Wallop services, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require your first and last name, your email address and confirmation that you are 18 years or older.

  2. Automatic Information:
     

     We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Wallop automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, Wallop cookie information, and the page you requested. Wallop uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and administer the website.

     Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our website and its components. This data is only used in the aggregate. This type of collective data enables us to figure out how often users use parts of the website, so we can make the website appealing to as many users as possible. In addition, we may provide statistical information, not information about you personally, to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our website. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their areas and our website, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal Web experience.

     Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While Wallop will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.

• What about Cookies?
  Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. Wallop cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is.

  The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of Wallop's most attractive features.

  Some of our business partners may use cookies on our website (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

• Will Wallop Share Any of the Information it Receives?
  Information about our users is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We share your personal information only as described below.
  • Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:
    We are affiliated with a variety of businesses and work closely with them. You can easily recognize when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, and we will share customer information that is related to such transactions with that affiliated business. We will only share personal information that is necessary for the affiliate to complete the transaction. We require our affiliates to provide the same level of privacy protection that we do and they do not have the right to share or use personal information for any purpose other than for an authorized transaction.
  • Agents:
    We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Examples of these services include processing credit card payments. Our agents subscribe to the same level of privacy protection as we do. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to use the personal information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
  • Business Transfers:
    In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Wallop, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
  • Protection of Wallop and Others:
    We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Wallop, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  • With Your Consent:
    Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your personal information may be shared with third parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, and you will be able to prevent the sharing of this information by opting out. To ensure the privacy of your personal information, we will only share information with third parties that provide equal or greater privacy protection.
  • Search:
    Users' email addresses and the full names provided at time of registration are never directly revealed to other users. However, to facilitate searching and finding friends and acquaintances on the service, Wallop allows users to search using an email address, full name, or the Wallop user name as displayed on the user homepage.
• Is Information About Me Secure?
  Your Wallop account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.

  We use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software to protect the security of your personal information during transmission, which encrypts all of the information you input.

  Only Wallop employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.

• What Information Can I Access?
  You can access your personal information on our website and correct, amend, or delete information that is inaccurate. Sign in to Wallop and click on Preferences in the Tools Menu (located to the left of the Sign Out button).
• What Choices Do I Have?
  As stated previously, you can always opt not to disclose information, but then you may be unable to use certain features on our website.

  You are able to add or update certain information on pages, such as those listed in the "What Personal Information About Users Does Wallop Collect?" section above. When you update information, however, we often maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.

  You may request termination of your Wallop account by emailing Wallop at . Please note that some information may remain in our records after deletion of your account.

  If you do not wish to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please opt out by changing your Preferences in the Tools menu in Wallop. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Policy, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Wallop website, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes.

  As explained earlier, the "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. Please note, however, that if your browser does not accept cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of some of our attractive features.
