WHAT INFORMATION DOES AMISTAR CORPORATION GATHER
AND/OR TRACK ABOUT YOU?
Personally Identifying Information
Free E-Mails: When you sign-up to receive free Amistar Corporation
e-mail information bulletins, Amistar Corporation requires that you
supply your name and e-mail address.
Amistar Corporation Products: When you register to receive Amistar Corporation products,
whether those products are free (such as the Daily Legal
Newswire) or paid (such as a subscription to a Practice
Center or a book purchase), Amistar Corporation requires that you supply
your full name, e-mail address, contact information,
and a unique subscriber ID. Amistar Corporation may also require demographic

registering. In some instances, we also collect credit
card information to bill subscribers for premium products.
Anonymous Information
Amistar Corporation may also gather anonymous information, which may
be used by Amistar Corporation or shared with third parties. This information
does not personally identify you but may be helpful
for improving the services we offer. Generally this
information is collected through "traffic data"
and may entail the use of "cookies," "IP
addresses," or other numeric codes used to identify
a computer.
Cookies: "Cookies" give users a special,
random ID that are small text files, which are stored
on the hard drive of a user's computer. Amistar Corporation employs
cookies to recognize you and your access privileges
for certain locations on the Web site, such as the Practice
Centers, as well as to track site usage. Subscribers
who do not accept cookies from the Web site cannot access
many areas of the Web site. Amistar Corporation also uses an advertising
server developed by a third party, currently DoubleClick,
to display ads on the Web site. Some of these ads may
contain cookies that are set by third parties (i.e.,
advertising agencies or advertising clients). Amistar Corporation does
not have access to these cookies or any information
that they may contain.
IP Addresses: Amistar Corporation also logs IP addresses for systems
administration and troubleshooting purposes. (Your IP
address indicates the location of your computer on the
Internet.) Amistar Corporation does not log IP addresses to track your
session, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable.
Credit Card Information: If you use a credit card to
pay for an Amistar Corporation product, we may retain
your credit card information in order to renew your
account in the event you elect to renew your subscription.
When we do retain credit card information, we keep it
secure and separate from other demographic information
you may have given us. We do not share credit card information
internally within divisions of Amistar Corporation.
WITH WHOM DOES AMISTAR CORPORATION SHARE THE
INFORMATION IT GATHERS AND/OR TRACKS?
Personally Identifying Information

in greater detail in the "Opting Out" provision
below.
Amistar Corporation may, on occasion, choose to share personally identifying
information collected about subscribers with select
third parties whose products or services we feel may
be of interest to you. Many of our subscribers find
these e-mail promotions valuable, whether they are shopping
for merchandise, taking advantage of a special offer,
or purchasing unique services. If you prefer not to
have your personally identifying information shared

Out" provision below.
Personal information about you as an individual subscriber
or registrant may be shared, regardless of your "opt-out"
status, in the following instances:

it is required to do so by law or in the good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply

Amistar Corporation; and (2) protect and defend the legitimate business
interests, rights or property of Amistar Corporation, its users, advertisers,
customers, sponsors, advertisers or affiliates.

assigned functions, but is limited to that information
needed to perform the assigned function, and may not
be used for any other purpose.

merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of
substantial assets, reorganization or liquidation, Amistar Corporation's
accumulated customer information will be treated as
an asset and, like other business assets, subject to
transfer to or acquisition by a third party.
Customer Requests for Personal Information: Upon your

and banner advertisement targeting, we will disclose

with no personally identifiable information.
