Basic Resources values your privacy. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used on this Website Network. Please see our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Copyright for additional information applicable to our Website Network.
It is not necessary to provide personally identifiable information in order to visit our Website Network. However, on the Website Network, you have the option to register to become a member, purchase products, or participate in an online forum. Personally identifiable information is required and collected when you search, buy, bid, post, participate or communicate with Basic Resources. As a result of those actions, you may supply us with such information as your name, address, phone numbers, e-mail address, contact preferences, credit card information, financial information and information relating to a support or service issue that may, alone or in combination with other data, constitute personally identifiable information. If we collect personally identifiable information from you, you are giving us permission to use that information for the specific purpose for which it is provided and to contact you regarding site services, improve or enhance site performance, to offer you information regarding products and services, fulfill product orders, improve our Website Network, to communicate to you about other matters that may be of interest to you and for any other purpose described in this Privacy Policy. In connection with the foregoing, we may share your information with our affiliates. Users unwilling to provide personally identifiable information online can choose to work with a sales or customer service representative directly for specific site offerings within our Website Network.
We reserve the right to collect, store and use certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our Web pages such as the type of browser you are using (i.e. Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc.), the type of operating system you are using, (i.e., Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (i,e., America Online, Optimum Online, Netzero, etc.). In addition, we aggregate data from multiple users in a manner that is not personally identifiable and use such data as we deem appropriate.
Information about our customers is an important part of our business. That said, we are not in the business of selling personally identifiable information to unaffiliated 3rd parties for their commercial use. We share personally identifiable customer information with unaffiliated third parties only as described herein.
Throughout our Website Network, we track user traffic patterns, analyze and quantify user preferences and improve the design, layout and content to enable us to personalize the user experience. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We do not break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in a browser). All such usage data shall be the exclusive property of this Website Network.
Basic Resources sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that a user enters in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed or accessed by a 3rd party in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Basic Resources, its affiliates, partners and licensees reserve the right to sell or disclose related personally identifiable information collected on our Website Network to 3rd parties whose practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy (i.e., other marketers, publishers, retailers, participatory databases and non-profit organizations) that want to market products and services to you. If we share personally identifiable information, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out or block such uses. Any right of the 3rd party to distribute, transfer, transmit, disclose or resell the information is prohibited.
We may on occasion combine information we receive online with outside data to enhance our ability to market to you those products and services that we deem may be of interest to you. If you sign up to receive our e-mails and prefer not to receive marketing information from this Website Network, you will have the ability to "unsubscribe" from on any marketing e-mail you receive from this Website Network.
This Website Network will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.

Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at our Web site. However, once you choose to furnish our Web site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
