Last updated: January 28, 2006

We know that you care how information about you is used and shared,
and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly.
This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting Americans50Plus,
you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Customers Do we Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and
continually improve your experience at Americans50Plus. Here are the
types of information we gather.

  • Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information
    you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can
    choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not
    be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the
    information that you provide for such purposes as responding to
    your requests, customizing future offers for you, improving our
    benefits, and communicating with you.
     
  • Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of
    information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many
    Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of
    information when your Web browser accesses our sites. A number
    of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites
    anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a
    personalized experience at Americans50Plus if we cannot recognize
    you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
     
  • E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful
    and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open
    e-mail from us if your computer supports such capabilities. We
    also compare our customer list to lists received from other
    companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages
    to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other
    mail from us, please adjust your Communication Preferences.
     
  • Information from Other Sources: We might receive information
    about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

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 to provide features such
    as purchasing, personalized greetings, and storage of items in
    your Shopping Cart between visits. Our code is A50P.
     
  • The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you
    how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how
    to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie,
    or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you
    to take full advantage of some of coolest features, and we
    recommend that you leave them turned on.

Does Americans50Plus Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business,
and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share
customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries
we control that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow
practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

  • Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with
    our affiliated vendors and businesses. In some cases these
    businesses operate stores at or sell offerings to you. In other cases,
    we provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses.
     
  • Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform
    functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering
    packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive
    information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing
    assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings
    links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer
    service. They have access to personal information needed to perform
    their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
     
  • Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups
    of customers on behalf of partner businesses. When we do this,
    we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not
    want to receive such offers, please notify the
    webmaster.
     
  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we
    might sell or buy services, subsidiaries, or business units. In such
    transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred
    business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any
    pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents
    otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Americans50Plus, or
    substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will
    of course be one of the transferred assets.
     
  • Protection of Americans50Plus and Others: We release account
    and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate
    to comply with the law; enforce or apply our
    Conditions of Use and
    other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of
    Americans50Plus, our users, or others. This includes exchanging
    information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection
    and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include
    selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable
    information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the
    commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
     
  • With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive
    notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you
    will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

  • We work to protect the security of your information during
    transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which
    encrypts information you input.
     
  • We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when
    confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card
    number to the appropriate credit card company during order
    processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized
    access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off
    when finished using a shared computer.

Which Information Can I Access?

Americans50Plus gives you access to a broad range of information about
your account and your interactions with Americans50Plus for the limited
purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

What Choices Do I Have?

  • As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide
    information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or
    to take advantage of such Americans50Plus features.
  • You can add or update certain information on pages such as your
    account information. When you update information, we usually keep
    a copy of the prior version for our records.
  • If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please
    adjust your
    account preferences. (If you do not want to receive
    Conditions of Use
    and other legal notices from us, such as this
    Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of
    Americans50Plus, and it is your responsibility to review them for
    changes.)
  • The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how
    to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have
    the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to
    disable cookies altogether. However, you will not be able to use
    some important features if you do not use cookies.
  • You may use a search engine to explore products that offer
    anonymous browsing. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission
    provides useful information about online privacy on its own Web
    site,
    Site Seeing on the Internet.

Children

Americans50Plus does not sell products for purchase by children. We may
sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you
may use Americans50Plus only with the involvement of a parent or guardian
who is a member of Americans50Plus.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions

If you choose to visit Americans50Plus, your visit and any dispute over
privacy is subject to this Notice and our
Conditions of Use, including
limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law
of the state of Kansas. If you have any concern about privacy at
Americans50Plus, please
contact us
with a thorough description, and we
will try to resolve it.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the
Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of
our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you
should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless
stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that
we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we
make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices
to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past
without the consent of affected customers.

Information You Give Us

You provide most such information when you search, buy, bid, post,
participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer
service. For example, you provide information when you search for a

sellers; make an Auction bid or purchase; provide information in
Your Account (and you might have more than one if you have used more
than one e-mail address when shopping with us) ; communicate with us
by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry
form; provide and rate Reviews; specify a Special Occasion Reminder or a
favorite volunteer activity; share information with American50Plus friends;
and employ other Personal Notification Services, such as Available to Order
Notifications. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such
information as your name, address, and phone numbers; credit card
information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including
addresses and phone number; people (with addresses and phone numbers)
listed in account settings; e-mail addresses and other people; content of
e-views and e-mails to us; personal description and photograph in groups;
and financial information, including Social Security and driver's license numbers.

Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet
protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login;
e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as
browser type and version, operating system, and platform; purchase history,
which we sometimes aggregate with similar information from other customers;
the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our
Web site, including date and time; cookie number; products you viewed or
searched for; links you visited from our site; your history; and the phone
number you used to call our 800 number. During some visits we may use
software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information,
including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain
pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs),
and methods used to browse away from the page.

Information from Other Sources

Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated
delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties,
which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or
communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption
information, and page-view information from some merchants with which
we operate co-branded businesses or for which we provide technical,
fulfillment, advertising, or other services; search term and search result
information from some searches conducted through the Web search
features offered by affiliates; search results and links, including paid listings
(such as Sponsored Links from Google); and credit history information from
credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud.
