Optibike LLC Online Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in
understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us
and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products
and services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types
of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on an
aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Registration Information.
You will provide us information about yourself, your firm or
company, and your practices when you register to be a member of
http://optibike.com, register for certain services, or register for email
newsletters and alerts. You may also provide additional comments on how you see
Optibike LLC servicing your needs and interests.
Email Information.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and
our responses.
Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a
standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below,
"What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about
how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server
logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at
our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web
site. We, our advertisers and ad serving
companies may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which
advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service
and making available other products and services to our customers and
prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do
not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at

What
Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes
an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer
asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard
drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own
cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect
your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has
already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Some of our business partners (e.g.,
advertisers) use cookies that originate from their sites. We have no access or
control over those cookies.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
As you use our Web site, the site uses its cookies to
differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to
prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to log in
more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web
server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people
visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps
us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve
our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about
you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to
us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may enter into alliances, partnerships or other business
arrangements with third parties who may be given access to personal information
including your name, address, telephone number and email for the purpose of
providing you information regarding products and services that we think will be
of interest to you. In connection with alliances, partnerships or arrangements,
we may also provide certain information to third parties if we have determined
that the information will be used in a responsible manner by a responsible
third party. For example, some of our partners operate stores or provide
services on our site, while others power offerings developed by us for your
use. We also use third parties to facilitate our business, including, but not
limited to, sending email and processing credit card payments. In connection
with these offerings and business operations, our partners and other third
parties may have access to your personal information for use in connection with
business activities. As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or
business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one
of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also
transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or
any dissolution.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to
notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the
opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending
us an email request at

of the information you may enter on our Web site may be transmitted securely

parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, our site, the users of
our site, and/or our affiliated parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect

What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites
linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained
therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to
information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web
site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your

Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our
privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to

circumstances we may disclose it.
