PRIVACY POLICY
At Intelicompany, Inc. ("PricePatch") we want you to know exactly
how and when we collect and use information that can specifically identify you,
such as your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address ("personal
information").
We do not require that you provide, nor do we collect, any personal information
if you are just browsing the Site. We may offer on the Site non-transactional
and transaction based services ("Service(s)") in which, subject to
applicable terms and availability, you may participate (e.g., submitting product
reviews or becoming a Member to buy or sell items through the Storefronts Service).
In order to provide you with the Services you request, PricePatch may require
that you first provide certain personal information, which we determine is reasonably
necessary in order for us to fulfill your request. If you indicate an interest
in participating in a Service, we will identify what specific personal information
you must provide prior to collecting such information. Any personal information
which we collect from you will only be used for the purposes identified in this
Privacy Statement, the PricePatch Terms of Use and your applicable Member Agreement
with PricePatch, and as may otherwise be indicated at the time the information
is collected. To update, modify or delete any personal information you provide
to us with respect to a Service you may access your account with PricePatch,
make the changes on http://www.pricepatch.com/myaccount.cfm and submit the same
to PricePatch.
PricePatch will not disclose your personal information to any third party unless:
1) it is necessary in order to provide you with a particular Service you have
requested; 2) it is required of PricePatch in order to comply with a legal process
in any applicable jurisdiction (e.g., court order, subpoena, search warrant,
law enforcement request); 3) PricePatch determines, in its sole discretion,
that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of
PricePatch, its subsidiaries, affiliates, co-brand partners or other parties
under contract with PricePatch, our users, or others; or 4) you have provided
such data through a partner's private-level shopping web site hosted by PricePatch,
in which case PricePatch may provide your personal data to that partner (PricePatch
is not responsible for its partners' privacy policies or their use, storage
and processing of data collected on their web sites). In addition, PricePatch
may transmit information to a merchant, such as an invoice number, which may
permit the merchant to deduce the identity of a user/reviewer in the event that
a merchant disputes a user review on the grounds that a transaction never took
place between the user and the merchant and/or an order was never made by the
user in each case for the applicable product(s)/service(s).
In certain instances, PricePatch may request that you provide secondary information
(e.g., demographic information), which we may use, for example, to learn more
about our customers and to develop and improve our services. Any requests for
secondary information will be marked "optional" (or its equivalent).
We may compile your personal information with that collected from other customers
to create aggregate data. Aggregate data is information about groups of customers
and, once compiled, will in no way identify you as an individual. We may disclose
aggregate data to our business affiliates, advertisers, and other parties.
The Site contains cookie technology, which collects non-personal information
about you which is used to customize the Site for your future use. In conjunction
with our in-house advertising, we use third-party advertising companies to place

advertising companies also separately place or recognize a cookie file on your
browser in the course of delivering advertisements to the Site. These companies
may use non-personal information collected by the cookies about your visits
to the Site and other web sites in order to provide you with advertisements
about goods and services of interest to you.
The Site contains links to web sites of third parties. PricePatch is not responsible
for the actions of these third parties, including their privacy practices and
any content posted on their web sites. We encourage you to review their privacy
policies to learn more about what, why and how they collect and use personal
information. PricePatch adheres to industry recognized standards to secure any
personal information in our possession, and to secure it from unauthorized access
and tampering. However, as is true with all online actions, it is possible that
third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions of personal information,
or other users of the Site may misuse or abuse your personal information that
they may collect from the Site.
PricePatch uses third-party advertising companies to serve our ads on the Site.
These third-party advertising companies employ cookie and 1x1 pixel .gifs or
web beacons to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for their clients.
To do so, these companies may use anonymous information about your visits to
our website and other websites, but will not collect any information which can
personally identify you or can be linked to you. This information can include:
date/time of banner ad shown, the banner ad that was shown, their cookie, and
the IP address. This information can also be used for online preference marketing
purposes.
If you want to prevent a third-party advertiser from collecting data, currently
you may either visit each ad network's web site individually and opt out or
visit the NAI gateway opt-out site to opt-out of all network advertising cookies.
