1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors

Gyro may collect or track (1) the home server domain names, e-mail addresses, type of client computer, files downloaded, search engine used, operating system, and type of Web browser of visitors to the Site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with Gyro via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online forms, registration forms, surveys, e-mail, contest entries, and other online avenues (including, without limitation, demographic and personal profile data), and (4) aggregate and user-specific information regarding which pages Site visitors access.

Gyro may place Internet "cookies" on visitors' hard drives. Internet cookies save data about individual visitors, such as the visitor's name, password, user-name, shopping cart, screen preferences, and the pages of a site viewed by the visitor. When the visitor revisits the Site, Gyro may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor's experience accordingly. Visitors may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of their Web client software, if available.

Gyro also may use Web bugs to gather, store, and track certain information related to your visit to and activity on the Site. A Web "bug" is a file object, which can be a graphic image such as a transparent one pixel-by-one pixel graphics file, which is placed on a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor user activity. A Web bug can gather, for example, the IP address of your computer, the time the Web page was viewed, and the type of browser used.

When a visitor performs a search within the Site, Gyro may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed. Gyro may also record limited information for every search request and use that information to solve technical problems with the services available directly or indirectly in connection with the Site and to calculate overall usage statistics.

2. Use of Personal Data Collected

Personal data collected by Gyro may be used by Gyro for many reasons, for example, for editorial and feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users' behavior, for product development, for content improvement, for fulfillment of a requested transaction or recordkeeping, or to customize the content and layout of the Site. Aggregate data on visitors' home servers may be used for internal purposes, and individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide to Gyro may be added to Gyro's databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding Site updates, new products and services, and upcoming events.

Gyro also may use Site visitor data to contact the Site visitors regarding account status and changes to the subscriber agreement, privacy statement, and any other policies or agreements relevant to Site visitors.

3. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

Aggregate data on visitors' home servers may be provided to third parties such as marketing firms. Identifiable and non-identifiable visitor information and data which visitors provide to Gyro may be provided to third parties who provide products, information, or services which Gyro believes that visitors may be interested in directly or indirectly purchasing or obtaining. Identifiable or non-identifiable data also may be disclosed or distributed to another party with which Gyro enters or reasonably may enter into a corporate transaction, such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or asset purchase, or to a third party pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, in response to a request by or on behalf of any local, state, federal, or other government agency, department, or body, whether or not pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, or if determined by Gyro in its sole judgment that such disclosure or distribution is appropriate to protect the life, health, or property of Gyro or any other person or entity.

While Gyro may undertake efforts to see that any third party to which Gyro shares, rents, sells, or otherwise discloses personal data is under a contractual obligation to use the personal data solely for the purposes for which the data was disclosed, such third parties are independent third parties over which Gyro exercises no control, and Gyro is not responsible for their conduct, actions, omissions, or information handling or dissemination practices and Gyro will not be liable therefor.

This Site may contain links to other World Wide Web sites or advertisements for or placed by third parties. Gyro is not responsible for the privacy practices of such Web sites, advertisers, or third parties, or for the content of such sites or advertisements. It is possible that these links or advertisements, themselves, may be used by third parties or others to collect personal or other information about Site visitors. It is solely the visitors' obligation to review and understand the privacy practices and policies of these other Web sites and of these advertisers and third parties.

4. Security Measures

5. Opt-Out Right

Except as necessary for Gyro to provide the services, information, or products requested by a visitor, the visitor may opt out of having his or her personally identifiable information, which has been voluntarily provided to Gyro through an account registration, customer order, or electronic news or information subscription, prospectively retained by Gyro, used by Gyro for secondary purposes, or disclosed by Gyro to third parties by contacting Gyro via postal mail, e-mail, or telephone at the addresses set out above.

A visitor may modify, correct, change or update their personally identifiable information by contacting Gyro via postal mail, e-mail, or telephone at the addresses or numbers above.

7. Collection of Personal Data from Children

To the extent that Gyro is able to determine the age of users by their submissions to or communications with the Site, Gyro will not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personally identifiable information from individuals under the age of sixteen ("children") without their parent's or guardian's consent, which information has been voluntarily provided to Gyro through an account registration, customer order, or electronic news or information subscription.

Upon request from a parent or guardian of a child who has provided such personally identifiable information to the Site, Gyro will (i) provide to the parent or guardian a description of the specific types of information collected from the child, (ii) provide to the parent or guardian a means and stated procedures to review such information and to halt future disclosure, use, and maintenance of such information (e.g., the parent or guardian has the option to consent to the collection and use of their child's personally identifiable information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to third parties), as applicable, (iii) cease collection in the future of such information from the child, or (iv) provide any combination of the foregoing.

Gyro is prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an activity on the child's disclosing more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity.

If there are no age restrictions on a contest which requires registration, and if a child wins, notification and prizes will be sent to the parent(s) or guardian(s) identified in the initial registration process.
