INFORMATION Feel Bach! GATHERS AND TRACKS
Feel Bach! gathers this type of information about users:
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions.
These are voluntary submissions to purchase our products, receive our
electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums,
to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
Feel Bach! Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary
submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Feel Bach! 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.
Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately
for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages,
although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
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.
4. 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. Feel Bach! 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.
5. Surveys
Feel Bach! may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our
content to our audience. We do not share the aggregated demographic
information in these surveys with sponsors, advertisers and partners.
We never share any of this information about specific individuals with
any third party.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting
parental consent.
Usage tracking
Feel Bach! tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites.
However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual
users. Feel Bach! 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).
Feel Bach! sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users
enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated
with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well
each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you.
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. Feel Bach! 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 purchase
merchandise, or participate actively in message boards, forums, polling
and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Feel Bach! 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. Feel Bach!
never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including
advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites
users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We
track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures
of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular
user enters.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION

our content to suit your needs and help our designers better understand
the types of product that our potential customers are interested in.
This is essential to keeping our service up to date. We will not share
information about individual users with any third party, except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.

industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security
and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.

Such choices include:
Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.

alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information
from our users
