edit, alter and change any photograph, image or other materials you provide us
in connection with your use of the Site. You waive any claim of "moral

Personal Information Defined. Personal identifiable information includes all of
the information you voluntarily submit to us via your use of the Site, such as
your: (i) contact data (ex. your name, job title,
occupation, phone number, company name, company address, mailing and e-mail
addresses); (ii) financial data (ex. your account or credit card number); and
(iii) demographic data (ex. your zip code, age and income). Personally
identifiable information may be gathered on this Site in several ways. First,
at any time, we may require that you register to use this Site and you will
need to create a user name and password. We may collect and store additional
contact, financial and demographic data from you at that time. Such
registration form information requests may change from time to time. Second, we
may gather information from you anytime you contact us for information, email
us for any reason or make a request for a product or service,
we may require you to provide your name, email address, company name, address
and relevant financial data when appropriate. Finally, information you submit
to us via surveys, questionnaires, chat groups, bulletin boards, forums, or
other applications we make available on the Site will also be treated
consistent with all other personally identifiable information under this
agreement.
Remember, if you contact us for any reason, you are voluntarily releasing
information to us and we may keep a record of that correspondence. You may
choose to simply browse our Site and not provide us with any personal
information. In such an event, you can still access and use much of the Site;
however, you will not be able to access and use those portions of the Site or
those functions on the site that require your personal information.
Traffic Data Defined. Like most web sites on the Internet, our Site
automatically tracks and collects the following anonymous information when you
visit, including your: (i) IP address; (ii) domain
server; (iii) type of computer operating system (Mac or Windows); (iv) type of
web browser (Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Explorer, etc.) and (v) the Internet
Service Provider used to access the Site. This type of information is
collectively hereafter referred to as "Traffic Data."
B. Uses of Information Collected
We may at any time use your Personal Information to
provide you with the information, products and services you request. We may
also use your contact data to send you: information about our riders organization services, promotional material from any
of our trusted partners, account status information, or information/ requests
for information (exs. online survey, changes to the
Site, respond to your queries or requests, etc.). We may use your financial
data to verify your qualifications for certain products or services and to bill
you for fees, products, and services. We may use your demographic data to
customize and tailor your experience on the Site,
displaying content that we think you might be interested in and according to
your preferences.
We use the Traffic Data to enhance your experience on this Site. Specifically,
we use the Traffic Data we automatically receive from your browser to see which
pages our users visit within our site, which site our users may have visited
before coming to ours, and where our users may go after they leave. We can then
develop statistics that are very helpful to understanding how our visitors use
this site. The statistical data allows us to present our users with more
relevant content in a format our users will find most helpful. To be clear,
this Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify
you but is helpful for general marketing purposes and for improving your
experience on the Site (i.e. troubleshooting and administration of the Site).
C. Sharing of Personal Information
From time to time, we may share your Contact Data with our affiliates or
trusted business partners who, in our sole opinion, assist us in delivering
products and services to you. We otherwise do not share, lease, sell or
voluntarily disclose any of your information to third parties for any purpose,
except as otherwise set forth herein. Please remember that the Internet and the
Site are publicly accessible. Should you post any information in a publicly
accessible area on the Site, then we cannot and do not accept responsibility
for keeping any such information confidential.
D. User Choice Regarding Collection, Use and Distribution of Personal
Information
You may choose not to provide us with any Personal
Information. In such an event, you can still access and use much of the Site;
however you will not be able to access and use those portions of the Site that
require your Personal Information.
E. Security and Confidentiality of Personal Information
Security is an important part of our Site. All of the information you provide
to us in connection with the Site is stored in the United States on our secure
servers and protected by physical as well as technological means, such as
firewalls. Access to our database is limited to specified employees and is
monitored. Although we believe we exceed industry standard practices in
protecting your privacy, due to the existing technological and legal
environment, we cannot promise that your information or private communications
can remain private one hundred percent of the time in ways not otherwise
described in this Statement (ex. we cannot absolutely guarantee that our
security measures will prevent third-party trespassers or "hackers"
from illegally obtaining this information). Except as otherwise provided in
this Privacy Statement, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep
your personal information private and will not share it with third parties,
except as set forth in section C above or unless such disclosure is necessary
to: (i) comply with the law or other legal process (for
example, a court order, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or administrative
agency ruling, etc.); (ii) protect our rights or property; or (iii) enforce our
Terms of Service.
F. User Ability to Access, Update and Correct Personal Information
In order to ensure that all of your personal information is correct and
up-to-date, at any time you may update your information via the Site Forum
Tools.

You must promptly notify us if your credit card, user
name or password is lost, stolen or used without permission. In such an event,
we will cancel that credit card number, user name or password and update our
records accordingly.
H. Other Limits to Your Privacy
Like most sites on the Internet, this Site contains links to other Web sites
not bound by our Statement. Once you select a link that takes you to one of
these sites, we are not responsible for the information privacy and security
practices, or the content of such third party Web sites. These third party Web
sites have their own privacy and security practices and such practices may
greatly differ from this one.
We may also make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and news groups available
to you. Please understand that any information you disclose in these areas
becomes public information. We have no control over the use of your information
in these mediums once you post it and you should therefore exercise caution
when deciding to disclose your Personal Information or otherwise using such
services.
I. Updates and Changes to Privacy Statement, Site Maintenance
We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time
without prior notice. Any such change, update or modification will be effective
immediately upon posting on this Site. Your continued use of the Site
subsequent to changes to this Policy will mean that you accept the changes;
therefore, you should bookmark this page and review it frequently.
J. Jurisdiction
Personal information that you voluntarily give us will be delivered
electronically to computer servers controlled by Hostway
Internet Solutions, Inc. Any legal issues you may have with us related to this
Statement will be enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Oklahoma, United States and in the appropriate courts therein. Although this
Site is intended for use by users located in the United States only, if you
have accessed this Site, are located outside of the United States, and choose
