In addition, Gabriel Services Website users may

other entities with whom they are not acquainted
and have permission. All entries become property

The user's e-mail will not be sold , but may be

Gabriel Services and its affiliates recognize
the importance of protecting the privacy of all
information provided by users of our web sites,
subscribers to our services, recipients of our
e-mail newsletters and all other customers of
our products and services. We created this
policy with a fundamental respect for our
customers’ right to privacy and to guide our
relationships with our customers. This Privacy
Statement discloses the privacy practices for
all products and services owned by Gabriel
Services.
Information Collection and Use
Gabriel Services collects information from our
website users, subscribers and other customers.
In this section of our Privacy Statement, we
describe the type of information we collect and
how we use it to provide better services to our
customers.
Registration and Ordering
When using some of our websites and signing up
for certain selected services (such as email
subscriptions, ordering products, listing items
for sale or free, etc. ), users must first
register. During registration, users are
required to give their contact information (such
as name, e-mail address, mailing address and
phone number). For internal purposes, we use
this information to communicate with users and
provide requested services, and, for our website
visitors, to provide a more personalized
experience on our sites. We also may collect
demographic information (such as job title and
purchasing responsibilities, company information
and professional certification). We use
aggregate demographic information about our
audience to improve our service, for marketing
purpose. Many of our products and services are
free to subscribers who meet certain demographic
criteria. For our services that require payment
(such as certain events, products and
subscriptions), we also collect credit card
information (such as account name, number and
expiration date), which is used for our or our
agent's billing purposes only, and is not
otherwise shared.
E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail
newsletters, we ask for contact information
(such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally,
demographic information). We use this
information in the same manner as we use contact
information in the registration and ordering
process described above. Recipients of our
newsletters can unsubscribe using the
instructions listed at the end of the e-mail
newsletter.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time we invite web site users and
other customers to provide information via
surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and
the website user or other customer therefore has
a choice whether to disclose requested contact
information (such as name and mailing address)
and demographic information (such as zip code or
job title). In addition to the other uses set
forth in this policy, contact information
collected in connection with surveys and
contests is used to notify the winners and award
prizes and to monitor or improve the use of, and
satisfaction with the website or other Gabriel
Services product or service. Subject to the
given customer’s preferences (as described in
the "Permission" section below), such
information also may be shared with third party
sponsors of such surveys or contests.
Interactive Features
At some of our sites, we may offer interactive
and community features such as discussion
boards, bulletin boards and user profiles. Note
that all personal information sent or posted via
such features becomes public information for
which we are not responsible.
Tell-A-Friend
If customers elect to use our referral service
for informing a friend about our sites and
services, we may ask them for the friend's name,
job title and e-mail address. Gabriel Services
will store and use this information to send the
friend an invitation. This information may also
be used to provide information about our company
and related products and services. The friend
may contact us as specified in the tell-a-friend
message to request that no further
communications be sent.
Communications with Us
We have features where our customers can submit
information to us (such as feedback forms).
Where such submissions include requests for
service, support or information, we may forward
them to our agents, as needed, to best respond
to the specific request. In addition, we may
retain e-mails and other information sent to us
for our internal administrative purposes, and to
help us to serve customers better. Please note
that letters to the editor, testimonials and
similar submissions may be made public.
Communications from Us: Service Updates, Special
Offers
To best serve our customers, we may send updates
that contain important information about our
products and services. For example, we may send
new members a welcoming message, and verify
password and username for our password-protected
content. We may also communicate with a customer
to provide requested services and for
account-related issues via e-mail, phone or
regular mail. In addition to such service and
product-essential messages, we offer our
customers the option to receive information
about our company, related products, services
and special deals. Users, however, can choose
not to receive these communications from us, as
set forth in the "Permission" section below.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites, newsletters and, from time to
time, certain other products and services may
have features that automatically collect
information from customers, to deliver content
specific to customers’ interests and to honor
their preferences. This information assists us
in creating products and services that will
serve the needs of our customers.
For example, we may use "cookies," a piece of
data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Cookies benefit the
user by requiring login only once, thereby
saving time while on our web site. If users
reject the cookies, they may be limited in the
use of some areas of our web site. Additionally,
we may note some of the pages the user visits on
our web sites and via our email newsletters
through the use of pixel tags (also called clear
gifs) and web beacons. The use of cookies,
pixels and web beacons enable us to track and
target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our sites and via our email
newsletters. In addition, some of our business
affiliates use cookies on our web sites and in
our email newsletters, in ads or promotions.
However, we have no access to or control over
these business affiliates' cookies; we urge
users to read their privacy policies for
information. We also use an email delivery and
marketing company to send emails (including
newsletters) for which you have registered (or
otherwise agreed to receive). Web beacons and
cookies may be used in such email messages to
help us measure the effectiveness of our
advertising and how customers use our web sites
and other products and services. For our
internal purposes, we may gather date, time,
browser type, navigation history and IP address
of all visitors to our web sites. This
information does not contain anything that can
identify users personally. We use this
information for our internal security audit log,
trend analysis and system administration, and to
gather broad demographic information about our
user base for aggregate use. We may combine
demographic information supplied by a customer
at registration with web site usage data to
provide general profiles, in aggregate
non-personally identifiable form, about our
customers and their preferences in the content
of the site and advertising.

Google, as a third party
vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this
site.

Google's use of the DART

based on their visit to this sites and other
sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of the use
of the DART cookie by visiting the
Google ad and content network privacy policy.
With Whom Your Information is Shared
We do not share your personal information
with any person or company outside the Gabriel
Services family of services.
California Privacy Rights
Currently, California Civil Code Section 1798.83
permits those customers that are California
residents to request that Gabriel Services not
share your personal information with third
parties for their direct marketing use. To make
such a request, please write us at:

Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our
customers' personal information and to store it
securely. Sensitive information that is
transmitted to us online (such as credit card
number) is encrypted and is transmitted to us
securely. In addition, access to all of our
customers' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted. Only
employees who need the information to perform a
specific job (for example, a
billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable
information, or ad operations and circulation
managers. Finally, the servers on which we store
personally identifiable information are kept in
a secure environment.
Returns Policy
Due
to the custom manufacture of items ordered, we
cannot accept returns. Defective or damaged
merchandise will be replaced if noted on the
bill of lading at the time of delivery.
Links
Our web sites contain links to other sites.
Gabriel Services is not responsible for the
privacy practices or content of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each web site to which we may link
that may collect personally identifiable
information.
Notification and Changes
If we change our Privacy Statement, we will post
those changes on this page so our users are
aware of what information we collect, how we use
it and under which circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. Users should check this policy
frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
