Privacy Policy
Mribstar.com strives to offer its
visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. We may use
Personally Identifiable Information (your
name, e-mail address, street address,
telephone number) subject to the terms of
this privacy policy. We will never sell,
barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period.
How we gather
information from users
How we collect
and store information depends on the page
you are visiting, the activities in which
you elect to participate and the services
provided. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for
access to certain portions of our site or
request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You
may provide information when you participate
in sweepstakes and contests, message boards
and chat rooms, and other interactive areas
of our site. Like most Web sites,
Mribstar.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to
our visitors. For example, we may log the
name of your Internet Service Provider or
use cookie technology to recognize you and
hold information from your visit. Among
other things, the cookie may store your user
name and password, sparing you from having
to re-enter that information each time you
visit, or may control the number of times
you encounter a particular advertisement
while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain
cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if
you do you may be unable to access certain
portions of the site or may be asked to
re-enter your user name and password, and we
may not be able to customize the site’s
features according to your preferences.
What we do with
the information we collect
Like other Web
publishers, we collect information to
enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your
information with anyone.
Aggregated
Information (information that does not
personally identify you) may be used in many
ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with
similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most
or what features are most attractive).
Aggregated Information may occasionally be
shared with our advertisers and business
partners. Again, this information does not
include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We may use
Personally Identifiable Information
collected on Mribstar.com to
communicate with you about your registration
and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and privacy policy; services and
products offered by Mribstar.com and
other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally
Identifiable Information collected by
Mribstar.com may also be used for
other purposes, including but not limited to
site administration, troubleshooting,
processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests,
and other communications with you. Certain
third parties who provide technical support
for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such
information. We will use your information
only as permitted by law. In addition, from
time to time as we continue to develop our
business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among
the transferred assets. We may also disclose
your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are
reasonably required to do so by law, in
connection with the collection of amounts
you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement
authorities whenever we deem it appropriate
or necessary. Please note we may not provide
you with notice prior to disclosure in such
cases.
Affiliated
sites, linked sites and advertisements
Mribstar.com expects its partners,
advertisers and affiliates to respect the
privacy of our users. Be aware, however,
that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content
providers accessible through our site, may
have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or
view as part of a frame on a Mribstar.com page, certain content
that is actually created or hosted by a
third party. Also, through Mribstar.com you may be introduced to,
or be able to access, information, Web
sites, features, contests or sweepstakes
offered by other parties. Mribstar.com
is not responsible for the actions or
policies of such third parties. You should
check the applicable privacy policies of
those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by
a third party.
While on our
site, our advertisers, promotional partners
or other third parties may use cookies or
other technology to attempt to identify some
of your preferences or retrieve information
about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have
seen a particular advertisement before.
Other features available on our site may
offer services operated by third parties and
may use cookies or other technology to
gather information. Mribstar.com does
not control the use of this technology by
third parties or the resulting information,
and is not responsible for any actions or
policies of such third parties.
You should also
be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
Personally Identifiable Information on
message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can
be collected and used by third parties
without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals
or third parties. Such activities are beyond
the control of Mribstar.com and this
policy.
Children
Mribstar.com does not knowingly
collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13
except as permitted by law. If we discover
we have received any information from a

we will delete that information immediately.

information from or about anyone under 13,
please contact us at the address listed

Changes to this
Policy
Mribstar.com reserves the right to
change this policy at any time. Please check
this page periodically for changes. Your
continued use of our site following the
posting of changes to these terms will mean
you accept those changes. Information
collected prior to the time any change is
posted will be used according to the rules
and laws that applied at the time the
information was collected.
Governing law
This policy and
the use of this Site are governed by
Illinois law. If a dispute arises under this
Policy we agree to first try to resolve it
with the help of a mutually agreed-upon

mediation will be shared equally by each of
us.
If it proves
impossible to arrive at a mutually
satisfactory solution through mediation, we
