TBD Consulting has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our
firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information
gathering and dissemination practices for this web site:
When using this site, we may collect personal information about
you. We may collect personal information from you when you (i)
participate in contests and giveaways, (ii) go through a registration
process, and (iii) participate in warranties or rebates. In addition,
we also collect information from you when you identify yourself
for the purpose of participating in chat areas, bulletin boards,
etc. We may use such information to fulfill prizes, to track compliance
with our policies, for advertising and marketing purposes, to
generate reports for our strategic partners or for editorial and
feedback purposes (to the extent explained when guests provide
the information). In the event that we plan to post any such information
on this site, guests are provided prior notification of such posting
and given the option of preventing such posting.
Opt Out Procedures
TBD Consulting provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
communications from us or our strategic partners. Users may request
at any time not to receive future communications from us or our
partners, or to no longer receive our service. Please notify us
if you wish to modify your registration information or stop receiving
e-mail updates from us or our strategic partners. Email Customer Support to have

Policies for Children under 13
We encourage parents to spend time online with their children
and to participate in the interactive activities offered on the
Internet. Children under the age of 13 should not submit any information
to this site.
TBD Consulting does not collect personal information from guests
under the age of 13 years. Guests under 13 years of age are prohibited
from providing us with their personal information. When a guest
under 13 attempts to register with our service, we advise the
guest that he/she is prohibited from providing us with any personal
information and that his/her parents must complete the registration
process by providing their own personal information and not the
personal information of the guest under 13. If a guest does not
identify his/her proper age, we will have no way of verifying
actual age with respect to our privacy policy.
Parents should be forewarned that there are disclosures of information
that may be made by children under 13 that are not within our
control (e.g., disclosures made through means of communications
not hosted by us by the guest to other persons they encounter
online). You should always monitor your children's activities
on the Internet, especially with respect to chat lines and bulletin
boards. If you have any questions concerning our privacy policies
or concerning our collection of personal information from guests
under the age of 13, please contact:

Policies for Children 13 and Over
With the permission of a guest who is 13 years of age or over,
information submitted at the time of registration or submission
may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by us and
may be shared with our affiliates or companies that have been
prescreened by us. If a guest objects to such use for any reason,
he/she may stop that use either by e-mail request or by modifying
his/her registration information online. Once you have registered
with us, every effort will be made to maintain your information
in a secure environment.
About IP Addresses
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration
and to report aggregate information to our advertisers and partners.
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you are on the World Wide Web. Your computer
can be identified on the Internet through your IP address.
When guests request pages from our site, our servers log the
guests' IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable unless a guest registers with us. This
means that an unregistered user's session will be logged, but
the user remains anonymous to us.
Using Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers
to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies
make the Internet easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases,
and preferences while you're at our site. Our site uses cookies
for many purposes. The use of cookies is an industry standard
and you will find them at most major web sites.
Links to Other Sites
You should be aware that while on our site you could be directed
to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links
to other sites from TBD Consulting that take you outside our
service. For example, if you click on a banner advertisement
or a link to another site, the click may take you off the TBD
Consulting site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors,
and partners that may use TBD Consulting's logo as part of a
co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own
cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit personal
information. You should always be aware of the site that's currently
serving you and their respective privacy policies, which may
differ significantly from ours. We encourage our readers to
check the privacy policies of these sites before disclosing
any personal information.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information
online - for example, via message boards or chat - that information
can be collected and used by people you don't know. We cannot
guarantee the security of any information you disclose online,
and you do so at your own risk.
Security Policy
The importance of security for all personal information associated
with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great
care in providing secure transmission of your information from
your PC to our servers, utilizing encryption software. Personally
identifiable information collected by cookies and site-analysis
tools are stored in electronic logs behind our firewall but
are not sold and can be accessed only by approved TBD Consulting
staff. Only those employees who need access to your information
in order to do their jobs are allowed access.

By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and to our
Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these policies, please
