example, in order to deliver products to you, we must share some information. We
partner with third parties (such as the U.S. Postal Service, United Parcel
Service, and Federal Express) to ship products, to ensure delivery, and so that
we can obtain feedback, improve the quality of our service, and measure and
improve the quality of the service of the third party. In the example of
shippers, we provide them some personally identifiable information such as your

We may be required to disclose such information in response to requests from
law-enforcement officials conducting investigations; subpoenas; a court order;
or if we are otherwise required to disclose such information by law. We also
will release personal information where disclosure is necessary to protect our
legal rights, enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements, or to protect
ourselves or others. For example, we may share information to reduce the risk of
fraud or if someone uses or attempts to use our Site for illegal reasons or to
commit fraud.

companies as part of our regular course of business. However, it's possible that
we might acquire or merge with or be acquired by another company or that we
might dispose of some or all of our assets. If that happens, your personal
information may be disclosed to another company, but that disclosure will be
subject to the Privacy Policy in effect.

particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a certain date) with
third parties such as advertising partners. This information does not directly
personally identify you or any user.

We publicly disclose the name, city, and state of the weekly winner of the Free

DATA SECURITY
This Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to
safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including Secure
Sockets Layer ("SSL") for all financial transactions through this Site. We use
SSL encryption to protect your personal information online, and we also take
several steps to protect your personal information in our facilities. Access to
your personal information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your
personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to your
personal information.
Finally, we rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of
some of our computer hardware. We believe that their security procedures are
adequate. For example, when you visit our Site, you access servers that are kept
in a secure physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic
firewall.
While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal
information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does
not presently exist anywhere online or offline.

stop sending emails to your email address; and/or (c) disable your account to
prevent any future purchases through that account. You can make these requests

telephoning, or emailing your request to Cndepot.com
Please do not email your credit-card number.
OFFLINE COLLECTION, USE & DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
As you might expect from Cndepot.com, the majority of information that we
collect is obtained through our Site, and this Privacy Policy applies only to
that online collection of personal information. We also collect information
offline, where we also try to protect the privacy of you personal information.
One example involves someone calling us to place an order or to ask questions.
When someone calls, we will ask only for the personal information we need in
order to place the order or to answer the question. When we need to store
information (such as order information), we will enter it into our database
through SSL encryption. (See the Data Security section above for
more information). Another example involves faxes. If you fax something to us,
we will act upon the fax and then either store it a locked repository or we will
shred the fax if there is no need to retain the information. There are other
ways we could learn of personal information offline (for example, we suppose
someone could send us a letter including some return address information), and
this Policy doesn't discuss or try to predict all of those methods or uses. As
we mentioned, we primarily sell merchandise, not information, and we will try to
treat offline collection, uses, and disclosures consistently with our relevant
online practices.
UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
If we change or update this Privacy Policy, we will post changes and updates on
this Site so that you will always be aware of what information we collect, use
and disclose. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time
so you will know if the Privacy Policy has been changed or updated.
