InterMart Online Privacy Policy (Updated 4/1/03)
This document sets forth the InterMart Online Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy") for this Web site, www.shipsolutions.com (the "Site"). If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use this Site. This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities or other InterMart web sites.

Easy-to-Understand Privacy Policy Summary
1. We respect your privacy.
2. We will not share your email or contact information with any outside organization unless (a) required by law or a subpoena, or (b) it is transferred to another company as part of the purchase of the assets of InterMart or the Shipping Solutions Division.
3. We will not send you any email unless you purchase Shipping Solutions and subscribe to the Annual Maintenance Program (that’s how we’ll notify you of free upgrades) and/or you sign up for our Shipping Solutions Newsletter or the Import-Export email discussion list. You may opt out of these lists at any time.
4. If you provide us with your mailing information when you request or download a demo version of the Shipping Solutions software, we may send you an occasional mailing notifying you of special offers or new releases of the software or related InterMart products.

Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as subscribing to the collaboration services offered on the Site or utilizing online software applications, InterMart may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, InterMart may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering products or services on the Site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

When you use the Site, InterMart or third parties authorized by InterMart may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. InterMart also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information.

When you submit personal information to InterMart through this Site, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which InterMart and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices, including, without limitation, the United States. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of InterMart. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties.

How your personal information is used
InterMart collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select. If you subscribe to a service or register a product, for example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. As another example, if you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. Your personal information is also used to keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services of InterMart.

InterMart may collect information about the use of the Site, such as the types of services used and how many users we receive daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. InterMart may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, or similar promotional purposes.

Your choices with respect to personal information
InterMart recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on this Site. If you do not want the information you provide to InterMart to be used to inform you of other products and special offers from InterMart, and you indicate this preference when you provide the information to us, we will honor your preference.

We will not share your email address or other contact information with any outside organization. However, if InterMart sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or InterMart (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, InterMart may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of the business that was sold or merged with the other entity without your consent. In addition, InterMart may provide your personal information if necessary, in InterMart’s good faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant, or order or to protect the rights of InterMart or others.

Use of cookies
When you visit this Site, you can browse the Site and access important information without revealing your identity. In order to improve our Site, we may use "cookies" to track your visit. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card, and enables InterMart to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. (For some Web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.)

While InterMart uses cookies to track your visit to shipsolutions.com, and our Web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of your computer, InterMart does not generally use this information to identify you personally.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, e-mail our Customer Service Team or call us at (651) 905-1727.
