Finally, Bridgehead International reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal activities, and to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement agencies for investigation or prosecution.

Aggregated Information: Bridgehead International may collect, use and disclose for marketing and other purposes certain general, demographic and statistical information regarding Web Site subscriptions, transactions and usage.

Access to Information by User Personnel
Users of the Web Site may designate multiple users who are able to access the Web Site and to view and change User and transactional information.

Collection and Use of Information Using 'Cookies'
Bridgehead International does not collect personally identifying information about you except when you specifically and knowingly provide it. As with many state-of-the-art Internet sites, the Web Site uses "cookies" to enhance the functionality of the Web Site and to make transactions and other activities more convenient and efficient for Users.

A "cookie" is a small text file stored locally on the computer used to access the User account, and contains information relating to a User's past use of the Web Site. For example, a cookie may contain information previously entered on a Web Site form, which may be recalled as default information when that form is accessed at a later time. This prevents reentry of frequently used information each time a User account is accessed. Cookies are also useful in streamlining log-in, and in preserving transactional information between sessions. Cookies will likely play an increasingly important role as we enhance the ability of Users to customize the functionality of the Web Site to better meet their needs and preferences. Most Internet browsers include preference settings that allow users to be notified and control when and how cookies may be placed on their computers. Please review your browser's documentation or "help" feature for more information on that functionality. Disabling cookies, however, may prevent a User from being able to transact business on the Web Site.

Linked Sites
The Web Site contains hyperlinks though which other Internet Web sites may be accessed by Users. Bridgehead International is not responsible for and cannot make any assurances regarding the privacy, or other policies or practices of the operators of such Web sites. Such links are provided only for the convenience of our Users, and the presence of any link does not imply that Bridgehead International endorses, approves or is responsible for such Web sites.

Public Forums
Bridgehead International may make message boards and discussion forums available on the Web Site. If you choose to voluntarily disclose certain information on any such public area of the Web Site, you understand and agree that such information will be freely accessible by other users of the Web Site. Therefore, we encourage you to exercise caution when posting information on public message boards or discussion forums.

Security
Bridgehead International is very concerned with the security of information relating to our Users' use of the Web Site and has implemented systems and procedures to prevent unauthorized access to that information. The physical server is protected full-time (24/7). Bridgehead International does not release commercial information related to a specific transaction, user, or company to anyone without prior written consent by all parties involved. Payment information is transmitted using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection and, once stored, is maintained using physical and technical security measures in place at Bridgehead International's data center. Bridgehead Internationalwill, on occasion, use certain commercial data in aggregated form. No individual user, company or transaction data will be available from the aggregated data. Although we take all reasonable precautions to protect our Users' information, due to the open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that any information stored on our servers, or transmitted to or from you, will be free from unauthorized access. By using the Web Site, you understand and agree to assume these risks.

Consent to Processing
By providing any personal information to the Site, all users, including without limitation users in the European Union, fully understand and unambiguously consent to the collection, processing and transfer of such information both within and outside the European Union including without limitation to and in the USA.
