choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the

III. Collecting Information About All The Indie Ezine Site Visitors
In general, our service automatically gathers certain usage information like
the numbers and frequency of visitors to The Indie Ezine and its areas, very
much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in
to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data
helps us determine how much our Clients use parts of the site, so we can
improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as
many of you as possible. For example, The Indie Ezine uses a technology
nicknamed "cookies" that tells us how and when pages in the site are
visited, and by how many people. The Indie Ezine cookies do not collect
personally identifiable information and we do not combine information
collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to
tell us who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address is. We
also may provide statistical "ratings" information, never information about
you personally, to our The Indie Ezine partners about how our members,
collectively, use The Indie Ezine. We do this so they too can understand how
many people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you
with the best possible Web experience as well.

How our service automatically gathers certain usage information:

1. "Cookies"
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the Client
closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting
a cookie on the site, the Client would not have to log in a password more
than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a Client rejects the
cookie, they may still use the site. The only drawback to this is that the
Client will be limited in some areas of the site.

2. Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track Client's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

3. "Tell-A-Friend"
If a Client elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. The Indie Ezine
will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit
the site. The Indie Ezine stores this information for the sole purpose of
sending this one-time email. The friend may contact The Indie Ezine at
supp...@domain. COM to request the removal of this information from our
database.
