This policy applies to your use of the Site and services owned or operated by TOAC and affiliated companies, including TheOneArmedCook.com, and any other Site that we may own or operate currently or in the future. This policy does not apply to your use of unaffiliated sites to which any of the Sites only link. This policy covers only information collected on the Site and does not cover any information collected offline by us.
Personal Identification Information
We may request personal identification information from you (such as your
name, street address, telephone number, credit card number, e-mail address,
and/or any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting
of you) in connection with your use of, or participation in, membership
registration for TheOneArmedCook.com, our contests, sweepstakes, promotions,

chats, bulletin boards, discussion groups, requests for suggestions, visitors'
requests for free products or services or additional information (including
via email to us), and in connection with other activities, services or
resources we make available on our Site. In all of these cases, we will
collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily
submit such information to us. Except as otherwise provided in this policy,
we will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information
about you as an individual user to any third party without having received
your permission.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal identification information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes. On occasion, for example, we may send you e-mails to introduce a product or service that we think might be of interest to the users of our Site.
We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the Sites, or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate change.
In addition, on occasion, we may collect personal identification information from you in connection with optional contests, special offers or promotions. We will share such information with necessary third parties for the purpose of carrying out the contest, special offer or promotion. Your participation in the contest, special offer or promotion constitutes your consent to such disclosure and use of such information.
Non-Personal Identification Information
We collect non-personal identification information which might include the
browser you use, the type of computer, technical information about your

Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information. Our
systems may also automatically gather information about the areas you visit
and search terms you utilize on our Site and about the links you may select
from within our Site to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere
online.
We use such information to administer the Site, better manage advertising on the Site, and, in the aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on our Site.

We may share this aggregate statistical information with our partners, suppliers and other third parties, but we will not share any individual names, personal navigational or other personal information.
