Some countries may provide less legal protection for customer personal information.

Circumstances may arise where for business reasons, Pure Change decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its businesses in the United States or some other country. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal identifying information to prospective or actual purchasers, and/or receiving such information from sellers.

5. Use of Computer Tracking Technologies 

(a) No Tracking of Personal Information. Pure Change's Web Site(s) are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Through web site access logs Pure Change does collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff for research and development, user analysis and business decision making, all of which provides better services to the public. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties. 

(b) Use of Cookies. Pure Change, or its third party vendors, collects non- identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including "cookies". A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a Web site can transfer to customer's hard drive through customer's browser. The cookie is then stored on customer's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer's computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by Pure Change or its third party vendors. Customer can set its browser to notify customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some Web sites may not then work properly. 

(c) Use of Web Beacon Technologies. Pure Change may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor its Web site(s) to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Web site, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by Pure Change or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer's visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded. 

(d) Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. Pure Change may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the Pure Change Web site(s) in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on Pure Change Web site(s); Web site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Pure Change or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics. 

(e) Collection of Personal Information. Pure Change collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. Pure Change may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help P&P understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. 

6. Information Security 

(a) Commitment to Online Security. Pure Change intends to protect customer personal information and to maintain its quality. To achieve information security and quality, Pure Change implements appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information. 

(b) No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. Pure Change will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure. Consequently, Pure Change shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of personal information due to no fault of Pure Change including, but not limited to, errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of Pure Change staff and/or third parties.
