2. Participating Merchant Policies
Related services and offerings with links from this website, including

the corresponding links within each respective website. Online merchants and others
who participate in Audio Direct L.L.C. services are encouraged to participate in
industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer
privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the policies or
practices of participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible
for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage
that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties
before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such
parties.
3. Information We Collect and How We
Use It
Audio Direct L.L.C. collects certain information from and about its users
three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a.
Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the
site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol
address.
- The kind of browser
or computer you use.
- Number of links you
click within the site.
- State or country from
which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your

b. Use of Cookies
Audio Direct L.L.C. may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk
by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses
to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read
by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate
within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content
and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information
as well as providing personalized functionality.
Audio Direct L.L.C. reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics
with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our
website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging
into Audio-Direct.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to
decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be
aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.

Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When
you register, we will request some personal information such as name, address, email,
telephone number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information.
If you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information. Any
financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased.

card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information.
You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order

you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:

4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
Audio Direct L.L.C. / Audio-Direct.com Web pages may contain electronic
images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow
Audio Direct L.L.C. to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. Audio Direct L.L.C. may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail
messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened
and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers
to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications.
These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer
each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in
relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers
to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use
the site. Audio Direct L.L.C. prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect
or access your personal information.
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable
information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review
this information by contacting
us by sending an email to our support attendant.
6. Changes to this Statement
Audio Direct L.L.C. has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy
statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the bottom
of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy
statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information
we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to
this privacy statement and any updates.
