We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission
       of personal information by users:

       1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
       We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Hems N’ More gathers the email
       addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from
       this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to
       the subscription management page.

       2. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
      Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to
      someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email
      address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of
      transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The
      information is not used for any other purpose.

      3. Polling
      We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with
      other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or
      other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user.
      Hems N’ More may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can
      vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information
      about individual users.

      4. Surveys
      Hems N’ More may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to  
      our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these
      surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
      information about specific individuals with any third party.

      Usage tracking
      Hems N’ More tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do
      not correlate this information with data about individual users. Hems N’ More does
      break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type,
      and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information
      contained in every user's browser).

      Cookies
      We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The
      cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate
      your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided.
      But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply
      yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by 
      other sites. Hems N’ More uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described
      above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad
      impressions and click rates.

      You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser
      to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each
      cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do
      need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

      Use of Information
      Hems N’ More uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their
      experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized
      elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our
      users.

      As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out 
      electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message 
      boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule
      (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we
      think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Hems N’
      More never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers,
      sponsors or partners.

      Opt-Out Policy
      We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

      Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.

      Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the
      need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users.

      Your Consent
      By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Hems
      N’ More. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this 
      page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
      under what circumstances we disclose it.
