you individually, such as your name and address. We also collect "Non-personal

We also collect "Aggregate Information", which is information about use of our
site, such as pages visited on our Site. The information we collect depends on
what services you use on our Site.

Use of Your Personal and Non-Personal Information:
Except as disclosed in this policy, we do not sell or disclose information that
identifies our guests personally or makes it possible for other parties to contact
them directly without our guests' consent. We may use, sell, disclose, or
otherwise dispose of Personal Information we collect in the following
circumstances:
Internal Analysis and Promotions:
We may use information about you for our own internal statistical, design,
operational purposes such as to estimate our audience size; measure aggregate
traffic patterns; and understand demographic, customer interest, purchasing and
other trends among our guests and customers. We may also use your Personal
Information for the marketing and/or promotion of our products or services. We
may outsource all of these tasks to third parties on a confidential basis. If you do

Co-Branded Service Offerings:
We may share this information with certain businesses with whom Invention
Channel has formed a strategic alliance. You may be able to identify these
businesses because Invention Channel has authorized them to display co-branded
Web pages or links to Invention Channel. These strategic partners are requested to
clearly state their own privacy policies on their own web sites or promotional
materials. If you do not want to have your personal information shared with these
businesses you may click here.
Transaction Processing:
We may use your Personal Information to create a convenient and easy-to-use
shopping process that includes an online "shopping cart" that allows you to track
selected products and proceed through purchase. Also we may share transactional
information with entities as is necessary to process credit card payments or other
purchasing or delivery systems.
Third-Party Offers:
We may arrange to have marketing and promotional information of other
companies sent to you that we think might be of interest to you.
Legal Requirement:
We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform with the law,
respond to claims or comply with legal process served on our company or the
Site; (b) protect and defend our rights or property, the Site, our employees, guests
or the public.
Company Sale:
Information collected through our Site is considered a trade secret of Invention

practices of those pages. Please note that these Web sites' privacy policies may
differ from those of Invention Channel. We encourage your to review and
