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
Feel Bach! uses the above-described information to tailor
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.

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.

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

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