the information that we collect from customers during the process of registering for service, product, or membership on a AMLPG site.
It is our policy to use the information we thus acquire for internal business uses only, and we maintain appropriate security measures to keep this information
private. Gathering this information helps us develop and enhance our Web sites and products to match your interests. In general, you can visit any of the AMLPG's sites on the Web at any time without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. We log the IP address, type of
operating system and browser software used by each visitor to an AMLPG site, and from this information we can derive the identity of the visitor's
geographic location and Internet Service Provider. We use this data in aggregate form to build higher quality, more useful web sites by analyzing the collective
characteristics of our members and measuring usage of each area of our sites. We also may provide statistical information based on this aggregate data to
our advertisers, potential advertisers and other business partners. In some circumstances we will ask you to provide us with certain personal information,
such as when you make a direct online purchase from AMLPG or enter a AMLPG sponsored contest and promotion. In all cases where we ask you

There is a technology called "cookies" which is a file transferred from a website to the hard drive of your computer so that the website operator may track activities
on the site. AMLPG uses cookies to help track activity at AMLPG's sites so that AMLPG can make its sites more interesting and useful to
visitors. Cookies allow us to understand who has seen which pages and ads, to determine how often particular pages are visited, and to track the most popular
areas of each AMLPG site. Cookies also allow us to make our sites more convenient to use by, for example, allowing us to save your password so that
you do not have to reenter it each time you visit a AMLPG site. Please note that a cookie will NOT permit a website operator to learn any personally
identifying information about you, such as your real name or address, unless you have previously provided that information to the website operator or you
have set the preferences in your browser to provide this information. You can, of course, set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving
you the opportunity to decide whether to accept it. THIRD PARTY LINKS AMLPG's sites contain links to other Internet sites. We encourage all of our partners,
