OnlineDisc ™ Web Sites. Since its web sites' inception in 1998, and
its start of business in 1974, OnlineDisc Web Sites
has maintained the anonymity of each client unless express consent to
the release of a client personal information or individual data has been

Please read the following policy for further details as to the types of
information collected through OnlineDisc Web Sites,
including personal information, and how it is treated.
INFORMATION COLLECTED BY
OnlineDisc WEB SITES
OnlineDisc Web Sites gather information in two ways: (1)
indirectly (for example, through our site's technology), and (2) directly (for
example, when you, the site visitor, voluntarily provide information on various
pages).
Information Collected Indirectly
OnlineDisc Web Sites indirectly collects a variety of information pertaining to use of its Web
sites. One type of this information is that which is related to site traffic
volume and patterns, such as the number of visitors to a given site or page on a
daily basis. This type of indirectly collected information is gathered through
various means, such as an IP address, which is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the
computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your
computer by its IP address. When you visit a page from OnlineDisc Web Sites, our servers log
your computer's IP address.
Only designated administrators can access this information,
and it is used only for administrative and planning purposes to meet the needs
of our users, such as to improve the content of the sites and to customize the
content and/or layout of the site for individuals or groups of users.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Cookies are required for maintaining the shopping
cart, and this site will not function correctly if they are disabled.
Information collected from customers via the cookie is used to set user
preferences. Cookies are not shared with any third party. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information on our site. Some OnlineDisc Web Sites use cookies simply to store a user code so that the
user does not have to re-enter their information when rejoining the site. The
use of cookies is standard on the Internet. Although most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, the decision of whether to accept them is yours. A
browser can usually be adjusted to prevent the reception of cookies, or to
provide notification whenever a cookie is sent to you. Even without accepting a
cookie, users can still access most of the features offered by OnlineDisc Web Sites.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Information Collected Directly
OnlineDisc Web Sites also collects information that is voluntarily provided by site visitors,
such as a name or an e-mail address. When OnlineDisc Web Sites collects this type of
information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for the information and
how it will be used. It is entirely your decision to provide the requested
information. Such personal data is collected when a site visitor registers with
a site or requests Web services. This information is kept totally confidential,
and will be used only to contact you. You may choose to have this information
removed at any time. OnlineDisc Web Sites will never barter, trade, or sell access to our
database of registered users. OnlineDisc Web Sites does
not publish or disclose its client lists or users under any
circumstances to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace.
