Our Right to Change this Privacy Statement
1. Collecting Personal Information from Website Visitors
In order to provide you with access to certain services
or data within our Sites, we may require that you
provide certain personal information. This information
may include your name, postal address, telephone number,
fax number, e-mail address, subscriber name or screen
name, password used to access our services, method of
payment, and, if applicable, payment information, such
as credit card number and expiration date associated
with online purchases.
In addition, we collect (1) the e-mail addresses of
visitors that communicate with us via e-mail, post
messages to our bulletin boards or post messages to our
chat groups, and (2) information provided by visitors in
sales orders, registration forms, surveys, contest
entries, and other submissions to us.
We also collect and track automatically (1) the home
server domain names, IP addresses, type of client
computer, and type of web browser of visitors to our
Sites, and (2) aggregate and specific information on
what pages visitors access.
2. Collecting Other Information
FirstMile Technologies
uses several automatic data collection tools and
techniques including cookies, clickstream, and web
beacons.
Cookies
Some of our Sites use a technology called "cookies" so
that we can better serve visitors when they purchase a
product on our Sites, request additional information
about our company, products or services, or participate
in various activities posted on our Sites. A
cookie is a bit of text that is placed on a user's
computer hard drive when certain websites are visited.
These cookies may be placed by us or by third party
vendors and are used to obtain data such as user-name,
shopping cart contents, and web pages or advertisements
viewed by the visitor. When the visitor revisits our
Sites, we can recognize the visitor by the Internet
cookie and customize the visitor's experience
accordingly.
You can set your browser to provide notice whenever a
cookie is received, which gives you the opportunity to
decide whether to accept it or not. Without
cookies, however, you may not be able to take full
advantage of all our Site features. For example, if you
turn off cookies or refuse them, you will not be able to
make purchases on our Sites.
Clickstream
Certain of our Sites may collect information about the "clickstream"
of our customers during their visit to our Sites. This
clickstream data contains the pages the visitors came
from, the navigational paths they took, and the areas of
the Sites they visited.
From time to time, we track such information inside and
outside of our Sites. Additionally, we may from
time to time track and match clickstream data with
personal information you provide to us in order to
deliver content and other offerings - i.e., products and
services that might improve your customer experience.
Web Beacon
Certain email communications you may receive from us may
contain "web beacons." Web beacons consist
of a line of code on our Sites that delivers a small
graphic image from another website or third-party ad
server. The web beacon may not be visible as it is
generally a 1x1 pixel that is often designed to blend
into the background of a web page. Web beacons allow
third parties to obtain information such as the IP
address of the computer that downloaded the page on
which the web beacon appears, the URL of the page on
which the web beacon appears, the time the page
containing the web beacon was viewed, the type of
browser used to view the page and the information in
cookies set by the third party. We may use web
beacons for activities such as monitoring the
effectiveness of ad banners in our email distributions.
3. Using Personal Information
Personal information we collect through our Sites will
be used to, among other things, fulfill orders and
requests for information, for marketing and promoting
products and services of
FirstMile Technologies and other entities that we
believe you may find of interest, for feedback purposes,
for a statistical analysis of users' behavior, for
product development or enhancement, for content
improvement, to notify you of upcoming events and to
customize content and layout of our Sites. Names, postal
and e-mail addresses, and phone numbers collected
through our Sites may be used to contact you regarding
products and services and upcoming events we believe you
might find of interest.
We also may use the personal information you provide for
FirstMile Technologies
internal purposes, such as administration and operation
of our Sites, data analytics, and compliance with our
legal obligations, policies and procedures.
4. Sharing Personal Information
We do not share or otherwise disclose personal
information about our Site visitors, except as described
here or where permitted by law.
FirstMile Technologies
may share your personal information with third parties
that perform services for us or on our behalf (for
example, credit card companies, financial institutions,
shipping companies, consultants, advisors and market
research firms). Service providers and suppliers
are required to keep confidential and secure the
personal information received from us and may not use it
for any other purpose other than as originally intended.
We also may disclose personal information when, in our
judgment, we believe it is necessary or appropriate to
prevent fraud, injury, or harm to persons or property,
to protect our rights or the rights of others, or as
otherwise required by applicable law, regulation or
legal process.
Personal information may also be transferred in
connection with a business transition such as a merger,
acquisition, insolvency, or asset sale involving any
FirstMile Technologies
business or asset to which the information pertains.
Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use
reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use
personal information you have provided to us in a manner
that is consistent with our Privacy Statement.
5. Protecting Personal Information
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and
physical safeguards to protect against loss, misuse or
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or
destruction of personal information you provide on our
Sites.
6. Visiting Non-FirstMile Technologies Websites
This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected during your use of our Sites. Our Sites may
contain links to other websites that may operate
independently from
FirstMile Technologies. These and other
websites may also reference or link to our Sites.
FirstMile Technologies is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such other
non-FirstMile Technologies websites. We encourage
you to be aware of the privacy statements of each and
every website with which you may interact.

If you wish to update or remove your personal
information, opt out from receiving, or opt in to
receive, marketing communications from us please do so
by indicating your preferences on the relevant Site or

Statement, please contact us at:

8. Our Right to Change

updated periodically and without prior notice to you to
