BarAlliance Privacy Statement:
BarAlliance has created this privacy statement ("Statement") in order to
demonstrate our commitment to customer privacy. Privacy on the BarAlliance web
site (the "Site") is of great importance to us. Because we gather important

as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination
practices. We reserve the right to change this Statement and will provide
notification of the change at least thirty (30) business days prior to the
change taking effect.
Collected Information:
We require customers who register to use the services offered on our Site
(collectively, the "Service") to give us contact information, such as their
name, company name, address, phone number, and e-mail address, and financial
qualification and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit
card number, and the number of users within the organization that will be using
the Service. At the time you express interest in attaining additional
information, or when you register for the Service, we may also ask for
additional personal information, such as title, department name, fax number, or
additional company information, such as number of employees, or industry.
Customers can opt out of providing this additional information by not entering
it when asked. Customers can update or remove their personal information at any
time by logging into the Website and editing their Personal Information within
the Sys Admin Tab. Customers can view their updated profile to confirm their
edits have been made.
BarAlliance uses the information that we collect to set up the Service for
individuals and their organizations. We may also use the information to contact
customers to further discuss customer interest in our company, the Service that
we provide, and to send information regarding our company or partners, such as
promotions and events. All Customers must designate an administrator of the
site and provide an email address for that person to admin@baralliance.com.
Customer email addresses and any personal customer information will not be
distributed or shared with third parties. We may also email information
regarding updates to the Service or company. Again, email will not be
distributed or shared and customers can opt out of receiving any communication
by emailing admin@baralliance.com at the time it is distributed.
Except as we explicitly state at the time we request information, or as
provided for in the Master Subscription Agreement, we do not disclose to third

prospective customers and to bill for the Service. This billing information is

intermediary is solely a link in the distribution chain, and is not permitted
to store, retain, or use the information provided, except for the sole purpose
of credit card processing. Other third parties, such as content providers, may
provide content on the web Site but they are not permitted to collect any

Cookies:
When you interact with the BarAlliance Website we strive to make that
experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Web site, our Web server
sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers place on a
computer's hard drive and are used to tell us whether customers and visitors
have visited the Site previously.
Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They merely recognize
your browser. Cookies come in two flavors: session and persistent-based.
Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your
computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer.
Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you've closed your browser or
turned off your computer. They include such information as a unique identifier
for your browser.
BarAlliance uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the
system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information
allows BarAlliance to process your online transactions and requests. Session
cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you've logged in
and are required in order to use the BarAlliance application. BarAlliance uses
persistent cookies that only BarAlliance can read and use, to identify the fact
that you are a BarAlliance customer or prior BarAlliance Website visitor
(whatever the case may be). We are especially careful about the security and
confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example,
we do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. Users who
disable their Web browsers' ability to accept cookies will be able to browse
our Website but will not be able to successfully use our Service.
Third Party Cookies:
We may from time to time engage third parties to track and analyze
non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from

quality. Such third parties may use cookies to help track visitor behavior.
Such cookies will not be used to associate individual website visitors to any
personally identifiable information. All data collected by such third parties
on behalf of BarAlliance is used only to provide us with information on site
usage and is not shared with any other third parties.

Our Site has security measures in place to help protect against the loss,
misuse, and alteration of the Data under our control. When our Site is accessed
using Netscape Navigator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.5 or

secure, and available only to you. BarAlliance also implements an advanced
security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and
hosts the Site in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other
advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders.
Finally, BarAlliance provides unique user names and passwords that must be
entered each time a customer logs on. These safeguards help prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of
