Our Third Party Relationships: We have established several relationships with third

- Affiliates:
From time to time we may establish an affiliate program. An affiliate
program allows other Web sites to earn money by linking customers to our
site from their sites. These affiliates can only access data about the
number of transactions and their resulting earnings. They cannot access
our customers’ personal data. If you choose to apply to any of our
affiliate programs, we use the data you give us strictly for conducting
business with you. We have entered into certain agreements with certain
third parties for the purpose of helping to administer the affiliate
programs. Such third parties may have access to certain of your

other purpose.
